Expert Review
If your Polar upright is struggling to hold temperature, icing up excessively, or the compressor seems to be running non-stop, a failing evaporator is often the culprit. This genuine AS498 part is the direct replacement you'll need. Bear in mind, swapping an evaporator isn't a simple DIY job; it's one for a qualified refrigeration engineer as it involves handling refrigerant gas.
Installation & Maintenance
- Professional installation is required for this part.
- Always disconnect mains power before any work.
- Handle with care as evaporator fins bend easily.
- Ensure clear airflow around the unit post-installation.
