    Engel fridge not cold

    We have been away ten days now and I have been able to keep the temperature of the Engel bar fridge under four degrees so far. I have to alter the thermostat setting during the day and night when the outside temperature changes. Like higher during the day and lower for night to keep in...

    Engel fridge not cold

    So yours may be what Shep mentioned recently. That was the connection where the 12 v goes in the fridge is corroded or loss of power along the 12 v wires. But I suspect you have checked this?

    Engel fridge not cold

    Thanks. We have been on the road for a week and have been free camping without 240 volts and the fridge has been perfect on 3.5 degrees all the time. Until now the weather has been quite cool but we will be on the road for three months so should hit warm weather when we get to Darwin. Then we...

    Engel fridge not cold

    Thanks for that. Mine is probably like that also. Looks like I'll have to pull the fridge right out to get at my connection or pull it out quite a distance to get at the rear. :( I also need to check the voltage in the wires as soon as possible. But I was thinking if it is the same on 240v...

    Engel fridge not cold

    I have had good advice from various places, I hope, both are new batteries but was unable to get the same brand in the timeframe. Apparently there is no problem putting a 75ah 12v AGM with a 55ah 12v AGM but I would have preferred the same brand. They are both in now and finished. That is not...

    Engel fridge not cold

    Anyway I have increased my battery power from 75ah to 130ah with the addition of an extra 55ah AGM battery in parallel. So at least I will be able to keep the fridge on full on the hot days so I'll see how that goes. But I do not think I have fixed the problem of the fridge not staying cold...

    Engel fridge not cold

    The fan in the rear is dead but I still had the problem of the fridge not staying cold enough when the outside temperature is over 30 degrees and when the fan was working properly. After checking the voltage to the fan is 21volts and the fan replacement I'll get tomorrow. I put a 12v fan on and...

    Engel fridge not cold

    Ian It is the same on 12v and 240v (not a gas fridge as you would realise). It is only a small PC size fan so can not feel anything from outside over the noise of the motor. Anyway the fan is not working on 12v or 240v. There is no voltage going to the plug of the fan but it is freezing cold...

    Engel fridge not cold

    I have bought three large computer fans and have been going to put them in the top vent at the rear wall of the fridge to suck air past the evaporator. Here is a video of the fridge but you will need to put www. in front of the following as I can not post youtube links yet...

    Engel fridge not cold

    Thanks Jaros and belladonna. It is a 12v/240v fridge freezer and looks like it comes in the four bottom models on the list. ST68E SR65E ST90E SR90E Searching on that website the ST68E comes up only as the smaller model. SR65E comes up with nothing. ST90E looks like it and SR90E looks...

    Engel fridge not cold

    I have an Engel upright bar type fridge in our 2007 Hilux Winnebago and the temperature in the fridge goes a few degrees higher up to 8 degrees C when the outside temperature goes over 30 degrees C. We bought it when it was three years old. I did ask at a auto electrician/agent and said that...
