Expert Review
If your Polar upright just isn't getting cold like it used to, or you've had an engineer diagnose a moisture issue, this is the part you'll need. The dryer is a vital filter for the cooling system. While it's strictly a job for a qualified F-Gas engineer, it's a standard replacement that will restore your unit’s performance and prevent a much more expensive compressor failure.
Installation & Maintenance
- Must be installed by a qualified refrigeration engineer.
- Always replace when the sealed system is opened.
- Never reuse an old or contaminated dryer part.
- Ensure system is fully evacuated before fitting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a refrigeration dryer do?
It acts like a filter, removing moisture and tiny debris from the refrigerant gas to prevent blockages and protect the compressor.
Can I fit this dryer myself?
No. This part is integral to the sealed refrigeration system and must be installed by a certified F-Gas engineer to comply with regulations and ensure safety.
How do I know if my dryer needs replacing?
Symptoms can include poor cooling, ice forming on the evaporator, or a noticeable temperature difference across the dryer's body. A professional diagnosis is required.
Did You Know?
- A new dryer is mandatory whenever a refrigeration system is opened for repair.
- This small part prevents moisture from turning into acid, which can destroy the compressor.
- Proactively replacing the dryer during other services can prevent future cooling failures.
