Expert Review

Expert Review
If your Polar fridge is making a clicking sound but not starting, or the cabinet just isn't getting cold anymore, the compressor is the likely culprit. This AH010 is the genuine article, designed to get your GD880 or U633 back in the game. It's a job for a qualified F-Gas engineer, but it's the definitive fix for a non-cooling unit.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always use a certified refrigeration engineer for installation.
- Disconnect mains power before any service work is started.
- Ensure old refrigerant is recovered and disposed of correctly.
- Keep condenser coils clean for optimal compressor performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fit this compressor myself?
No. Due to high pressures and specialist refrigerant gas, compressor replacement must be performed by a qualified and F-Gas certified refrigeration engineer.
How do I know if my compressor has failed?
Common signs include the fridge not cooling, a clicking noise without the unit starting, or the compressor housing being excessively hot to the touch.
Is this compressor compatible with other refrigerants?
This unit is designed specifically for R290 refrigerant systems and should not be used with any other type.
Did You Know?
- The compressor is often called the 'heart' of a refrigeration system, pumping the refrigerant around the circuit.
- R290 is a natural, low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerant, making it more environmentally friendly.
- A failing compressor can significantly increase your energy bills long before it stops working completely.
