Engel..... A bit disappointed. !

[baldheadedgit]

Lost the battery cover on my 40ltr... Rang local service agent.....no go, have to buy complete temp display... $100 +.     Na not paying that when all I need is a cover..
Tried Engel direct... No go either. Seems a 10 year old fridge is now to old for spares ? 
Hmmm not to happy Jan......

Try Engeland they are in WA but will post. They may be able to source part. I have used them previously and found them ok.

I've got what you need right here, comes with a whole fridge around it, a cover and a two-zone, $800 for you if you pay cash

[dales133]

If they sell them in the US there will be a part sale place for sure there.

Pardon my ignorance but what is a battery cover?
Steve

[baldheadedgit]

A small cap/cover that holds the battery in place

[baldheadedgit]

Now yours sounds like a bargain Jules....! But the two zone sounds familiar.  Lol

[speewa158]

BHG Use ice blocks ,,, surely you remember the last lceage 

[rotor138]

How do you get to the battery compartment in the first place. Had a quick look at mine and it didn't jump out at me. My display has gone out as well.

[baldheadedgit]

Jamie, we've had no rain here so no ice making aloud ....
Rotor138.... Take out the four machine screws that hold the hinges in place, then take out the two from the rear of the top cover also, bit of a jiggle and the top will lift of, then you will see the battery compartment behind the display...

See if you can find a local repairer (not necessarily an agent). They often have old bits and pieces they keep as spares.

[baldheadedgit]

Working on that one Troopy_03.

3D printer ? Get a loan of one and have it scanned and press print!

[HKB Electronics]

Baldheadedgit,

If you get desperate, see if you can find someone with a 3D printer,
if you can borrow another cover they should be able to print you one.

Good idea...never thought of that one...


HKB you and Murph on on the same wavelength....  .

But to ad injury to insult....
I found the bloody thing.!
yes, where i left it... on the shelf, for safe keeping... only been there for 3 years, so not to bad,,, and because i suffer from CRAFT.. i had no chance if remembering where i put it..
Now... what do i do with the two aftermarket ones i ordered from ebay.?

[markg66]

That's the way Murphy's law works, if you haven't ordered the new one you would never have found the the old one.
