Expert Review
If your big Polar upright freezer just isn't getting cold, or it’s icing up badly inside, your evaporator could well be the issue. This AK698 part is the genuine article for the UA004 model, ensuring a perfect fit. It is a critical part of the sealed system, so it’s a job for a qualified engineer, but it will get your unit freezing properly again.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect the unit from the mains before work.
- Installation must be performed by a qualified engineer.
- Handle the coil carefully to avoid damaging the fins.
- Ensure correct refrigerant recovery and recharging procedures are followed.
