Expert Review
If your Polar upright's interior light won't switch off, or perhaps the fan isn't kicking in when you shut the door, this little contact switch is almost always the culprit. It's a common part to fail from constant use, but thankfully it's a doddle to swap out. A quick, straightforward fix to get your unit running efficiently again.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect mains power before starting any repair.
- Gently pry the old switch from the door frame.
- Connect the electrical terminals firmly to the new switch.
- Test function by opening and closing the door.
