Engel fridge/freezer rattles


I have an ENGEL FRIDGE/FREEZER MT-V15FC COMBI. I have it in the back of my Isuzu MUX. It has a knocking/rattling noise in it. Its been looked at by an Engel authorised repairer who said it is just normal that they knock. Its only 2 years old. Love the Engel but dont like the noise. Has anybody else had this problem with fridge inside their SUV.

I would email Engel Australia and give them all info including the repairers comments, under Australian Consumer Law even if it is out of warranty by months you are still covered. I have been successful with a iphone in getting a refund. Have a look at the link, with a two year warranty you are in the drivers seat.
So contact Engel not a repairman and lodge a Warranty complaint and do not forget to mention the Australian Consumer Guarantee.

Thanks for your thoughts Kebbin I know its still under warranty. I will follow up with Engel. Would love to know if anyone else is having same trouble. If its on back of a ute you would think its doing a great job.

It's only a fridge, improve the off the shelf product. That's what I always do.

 

Improvements I made to my fridge. Manufacturers need to pull their collective fingers out instead of trying to save 2 cents in manufacturing costs.

Hardly difficult stuff. 

 

My current project is another portable air conditioner, reducing sound levels. I was quite shocked how much I reduced noise levels of our current portable AC. Well over a decade old.
