How many watts would this mt35 engel use? My Cruiser has a 220v plug in the back, can plug in anything using up to 100 watts. Can I plug this fridge in?

I have an engel MT35-G4-S it runs fine on 240v fridge or freezer but when I use it in the Landcruiser, dual batteries etc, it stops green light on, a slight hum and not getting cold at all, read on line about a possible jammed piston in the push pull electro magnetic compressor, after thumping fridge vigorously it started working again, runs fine on house hold power or when fitted in vehicle on 12 volt BUT when I drive anywhere it jams up again. Have done this several times and can't figure out why, this unit is 11 years old but has only started doing this in the last 4 months, its done a lot of travelling, Tanami, Gibb River, Plenty etc. Can someone Help Please

I have two mt35 engels and a much older engel. The older one works fine and one of the mt35 works fine, but the newer of the mt35 takes 4 times to start the unit and is very noisy. I am travelling around Aust and in Ipswich Qld at the moment. I took it back to BCF where I brought it. They told me to take it to a Engel repair agent. He had it for a few days and his response was Engel Aust told him that it is a power saving setup. I live in a mobile home and it is very annoying to listen to the fridge try to start up on the forth attempt. Is this an isolated problem or other owners had similar problems. I have got to the stage of ditching it and buying a Waeco or similar. I wait for your reply,thanks. Peter Williams

Hi Peter, I don't have any experience with later models. I'd sell it to someone who wants one for the back of a ute and buy something else. Perhaps you could try to return it to BCF as it is not fit for the purpose it was purchased for. Sorry I don't have a better answer. regards, Tiny

What size solar panel would I need to run the Engel MT35?

Hi and sorry for taking so long to reply at the moment I have 2 Engel 40lt and 2 deep cycle batteries and my solar panel is a big house one 170x1000 12v 300 watts and had a canvas cover made up to put it in side when Finnish not heavy and my power need is endless . so going for a smaller one may be more since for most of us and for lugging it around . But for me long term travelling around its better for me . So the Engel fridge is the best in my view and has low power consumption and reliable abilities over price yes but if u wont u pay so it seem . I have 2 Engel MR40F Eclipse Fridge Freezer so I have one as a freezer and one for soft food and the way I see it if one dose stop working well I have one left and don't have to panic and not be the mercy of a repairman most of us buy one big fridge and if that stops well your in trouble .
