  • Engel fridge - fan cycling issue

    Engel portable fridge freezer model MT45 (2005) noticed that cycle on and off was 50 percent so thought it might be worth cleaning around the compressor removed control panel and rear housing a bit of dust and dirt but nothing to be concerned about.
    Continued- however the fan that blows air on the compressor was buggered so after a visit to Jaycar installed a new fan. It is now cycling 30 percent on and 70 percent off a lot better. Here is the part number. https://www.jaycar.com.au/80mm-24vdc...-wire/p/YX2542 A mate popped in and we checked his and found it was buggered also. You can look through the top vent using a torch and using on off switch see whether the fan is working the fan only operates when compressor is operating

      Does the fan need to be 24volts? I thought the fridge would use 12volts throughout...

          I was told by an Engel tech. When getting some work done on our 40ltr, that the compressors need 16volts to operate.
          Two inverters. One steps your 12 volts up to 16 volts and the second drops your 240 volt input to 16 volts.
          Now with mine plugged into the 240 volt power throws a back current through the 12 volt plug.
          This when measured with a digital multimeter slowly increases to about 35 volts.
          When I bridge/short the terminals of the Engel type 12 volt socket, the voltage drops back to 0.
          Then the volts start to build back up.
          Old mate was puzzled at the suggestion of a back current being produced through the power supply, as Engel tell us that we don't need to disconect 12 volt supply because it is switched automatically.
          He may need to upgrade to a digital multi meter or put his tongue across the terminals��
          Now I always disconnect the 12 volt socket from my vehicle when running on 240 volt power.
          I would be interested to know if anybody else has this back current at the 12 volt socket when their Engel is connected to mains power.

              I have a 1990 version which is still going strong. I may give it a good clean! However I am not sure that the old ones had a fan. Did they? Can one be retro fitted?
