Expert Review

Expert Review
If your fridge's temperature dial has become loose, is spinning freely, or simply won't turn, this genuine knob assembly is almost certainly the fix you need. It's a common point of failure from daily use. Thankfully, it’s a doddle to replace – just pull the old one off and push the new one on. It’s a two-minute job to get your unit back to full working order.
Installation & Maintenance
- Disconnect the appliance from mains power before fitting.
- Gently but firmly pull the old knob straight off.
- Align the new knob with the flat edge on the stem.
- Push the new knob on until it sits securely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this knob fit any other Polar fridge?
A: This part AK949 is specifically designed for the Polar G-Series hotel room refrigerator, model GE579. We cannot guarantee it will fit other models.
Q: Do I need any special tools for installation?
A: No, installation is tool-free. The old knob pulls off and the new one simply pushes into place on the thermostat stem.
Q: My fridge isn't cooling properly. Will replacing the knob fix this?
A: If the knob is visibly broken or spinning without adjusting the temperature, then yes, this part should resolve the issue. If the knob feels secure and clicks correctly, the problem may lie with the thermostat itself.
