Expert Review
If your upright freezer is humming away but just not getting cold, or you're hearing a rattling from the back, chances are the compressor has given up the ghost. This AK705 is the exact part you'll need for the UA002 and UA008 models. It's not a DIY job, mind; you'll need a qualified F-Gas engineer to fit it, but it's a straightforward swap that will bring your freezer back to life.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always use a certified refrigeration engineer for installation.
- Ensure the appliance is disconnected from mains power.
- Check for clear ventilation around the new compressor.
- Post-installation, run a full temperature cycle check.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I install this compressor myself?
A: No. Due to the high-pressure refrigerants involved, this part must be installed by a qualified F-Gas certified engineer to ensure safety and correct operation.
Q: How do I know if my compressor has failed?
A: Common signs include the freezer not getting cold, running constantly without shutting off, or making loud clicking or buzzing noises from the motor area.
Q: Is this compressor pre-charged with oil?
A: Yes, compressors are typically supplied with the correct oil charge, but your engineer will verify this during installation.
