Engel fridge/freezer, MRFT-540-A4

[Wanna-a-79]

Hello everybody,
I have an old Engel fridge/freezer model number MRFT-540-A4, fridge still working, freezer still working-but as seals are very old it wont switch off cause it dosent quite get to -18, gets to about -16.( I put a torch inside and turned out all lights in shed and there was plenty of light visible around lid ).
My question is does anybody out there have a copy of user manual with parts list that I could have a copy of please.( I may be able to cross reference lid seal part number with another engel fridge).
Other question is when searching MRFT-540-A4 not much comes up but there is heaps for MRFT-540- b/c/d/e. Anybody know why?.
Greatly appreciate all correspondence on this.
Colin

I think you will find the seals are common among the fridges, for example, the seal on my 40lt 22 year old Engel is the same a s on my 4 year old 27lt

Hi Tony,
Thanks for reply.
My MRFT-540-A4 must be around 20 plus years old and a mate has a nearly 6 year old engel, I could get him to measure his and check against mine.
Cheers

You might find that tweaking the hinges or loosening the screws holding the compressor grills on and pushing it down a bit is enough to close up the gap.

Thanks Hoyks, good idea, I will check that out tomorrow.
I think that roll of toilet paper is hilarious.
Cheers
