engel fridges

Might be a stupid question, but have you double checked the 12 volt outlet?

Also, if you are pluging into a cigarette style plug, your Engel plug probably has a fuse in it (mine has) in the connector that converts from Engel screw in plug to cig lighter style.

Check that there is a fuse in there and that it is not blown.

Hi geoffro

Have a look here. a href=" Fuse" target="EOF" class="lbg">Site Link

check your wiring as you can burn it out by using fridges in the acc sockets. The standard wire is only 2 or 3 amp you need at least 6 amp for the fridges

also if you have it screwed into the genuine engal socket watch the connection - mine is dodgey despite screwing itin the whole way

Check the earthin 12v oulet in vehicle

hi guys thank for the comments but have power all the way to the fridge then nothing, im thinking it the 12 volt connection in the fridge has anyone heard of the 12 volt connection going a stray and 24 watt connection is ok

Check the polarity.

Make sure + and - are the right way around.

Had worrying experience in '97 just before Derby on three month big trip with wife and two kids.. Thought engel had died and could see lots $$$ for new fridge for trip. Checked fuse ( glass tube type ) at battery ( fridge in back of patrol ) and looked ok. Worried went to autolec in Derby who checked battery, charged $25 and replaced fuse which was buggered up inside metal end which was not obvious.
Good lesson replace fuse anyway to eliminate as problem. I did have spares! Doh!

Another Troll.

It is a well known "fact" that Engels never fail.

By your post your have checked 12V and all is OK up to the fridge. I don't know the Engels but can you easily remove a cover to get access to the insides?

Perhaps with all plugged in (12V ONLY of course) can you check on the inside at the back of the pins? Also check there isn't another fuse inside this area (perhaps someone already knows if there is or not) If there is 12V all the way to the inverter (and check each side of the fuse as it my not be obviously blown or could just have a bad connection) then as posted before the inverter could well be stuffed. Hopefully not as I imagine they wouldn't be cheap. If all checks out OK I'd be taking it to an Engel repair centre.
