What happens if I don't change the pad kit?

Clogged pads pass less air and water, so the cooler blows warmer air, and old pads can smell musty.

Does Breezair make a compatible pad kit?

Breezair makes the genuine pad kit. Compatible pad kits for Breezair models are made by other companies to fit the same models, and Australian sellers we track list both; each part page shows the genuine and compatible prices side by side.

How to change the pads in your Breezair cooler

No clear video for this pad kit 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. Remove each pad frame: take out the clips, lever the top of the frame away from the lid with a flat screwdriver, pivot it outwards and lift it off.
3Note where each frame came from. Thicker or rebated pads (EXS, EXH210, EXQ210, EZQ215) must go back in the same place: stickers on the fan scroll show the positions. On sloping-base models (EZQ, EZH, EV, EZ) refit the front and two tapered pads from the 3-pack where the old ones were.
4Pull out the pad pins and washers and lift out the old pads. Fit each new Chillcel pad with its 30 mm header block at the top, and push new pins through until the pin heads sit flush with the frame and the washers sit flush with the pad.
5Refit 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.
