Expert Review
If your Polar drawer counter is powered on but the compressor just won't kick in, a failed relay is a very likely culprit. You might hear a 'click' but no cooling action. This AK053 relay is the exact part you'll need. For any qualified engineer, it's a quick and simple job that'll have your unit back up and chilling in no time.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect mains power before starting work.
- Use a qualified refrigeration engineer for installation.
- Ensure all electrical connections are secure and tight.
- Test the unit's cooling cycle after replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my relay is faulty?
A: A common sign is the unit having power but the compressor failing to start, sometimes accompanied by a clicking sound.
Q: Is this a universal part?
A: No, this relay is a specific part for Polar models DA994, DA995, DA996, and DA997 only.
Q: Can I install this myself?
A: For safety and warranty reasons, we strongly recommend that any electrical component is fitted by a qualified technician.
