Expert Review
If your fridge or freezer isn't getting as cold as it used to, or it's running constantly, a blocked filter drier could be the culprit. This isn't a DIY job; you'll need a qualified refrigeration engineer to fit it. However, it’s a crucial fix that restores peak performance and prevents much costlier compressor failure.
Installation & Maintenance
- Engineer Installation Only: This part requires certified professional fitting.
- Brazing Required: Secure installation involves brazing the component into place.
- System Evacuation: A full vacuum must be pulled before recharging refrigerant.
- Replace During Service: Always change the drier when the system is opened.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fit this filter drier myself?
No, this part must be installed by a qualified refrigeration engineer as it involves handling refrigerant and requires specialist tools like brazing equipment and a vacuum pump.
How do I know if my filter drier needs replacing?
Common signs include poor cooling, the unit running constantly, or a noticeable temperature difference across the drier body. An engineer can test and confirm this.
Is this the right part for my Polar G-Series fridge?
This AD636 filter drier is specifically for Polar models CD239 and CR899. Always check your unit's manual or data plate to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Did You Know?
