Expert Review
If your freezer's just humming or clicking but not getting cold, the compressor is the likely culprit. As the heart of the refrigeration system, when it fails, everything stops. This AS040 is the exact part you'll need for those specific Polar models. It's not a DIY job—you'll need an F-Gas engineer—but it's a surefire fix to get your freezer back in action.
Installation & Maintenance
- Installation must be performed by a qualified engineer.
- Ensure old refrigerant is safely recovered before removal.
- Verify the system is clean before fitting the new part.
- Regularly clean condenser coils for optimal performance.

A: Common signs include the freezer not cooling, the unit making a clicking sound but not starting, or the compressor body being unusually hot to the touch.

Q: Is this compressor compatible with other models?
