How long it lasts
Replace it when the pads are in poor condition or salted up, Seeley says; have them checked at the service before summer, at least every 2 years on a home cooler.
After replacing: No pad reminder to reset. After fitting new pads, run Pad Flush from the MagIQtouch settings menu if your cooler has one, or fill the tank, run the pump for about 5 minutes and drain it, to clear the smell of new pads.
How to change the pad kit in your Braemar LPQV550
Watch the guide or follow the steps.
No clear video for this part yet. The steps cover it.
- 1Turn the cooler off at the wall control, then switch it off at the isolating switch inside the cooler. Seeley recommends an authorised Seeley dealer or service agent for any work on the roof: climbing onto the roof is hazardous, and its manuals say maintenance is for a qualified, licensed technician.
- 2Working at heights needs extra safety precautions, Seeley warns: only go up if you can reach the cooler safely. Unclip and lift off the four pad frames (front, rear, left and right); each carries its own water spreader.
- 3Release the pad clips (16 on the cooler) and take out the old pads. Fit the new front, rear and two side pads from the pack into the matching frames and refit the clips.
- 4Refit the frames and clips, switch the power back on and run the cooler; never run it with the pad frames off. Flush the new pads: use Pad Flush in the MagIQtouch settings menu if you have it, or fill the tank, run the pump for about 5 minutes and drain it.
