I changed the battery for the display and now the temp is on fulltime
even when turned off

Anyone else have the same thing happen to them, or suggestions please...

Dunno - long as it keeps the beer cold at the w/end I don't really care.

Were you going to ring me ????

They are all like that . all the ones i saw when i bought mine had the temp on even in the show room. Mine has always worked even thought it is not on. They say the batteries work for about 2 years like that.

Yep, it's on fulltime regardless of the engel being switchd on. Must just run off the battery, no switch.

Good stuff but aint they. Only thing better would to have got me hands on one of those stainless models they did for a limited time. Fisheerman I know has a 60L one. The best thing about them is they are completely square inside, so easy to clean.

I have a habit of exploding beer in the engel, and they are a pain in the but to clean.

Must be then, I cant remember it whilst switched off

And it has been flat for approx 12 months also

yes...the thermometer is on permanently.....not unlike a digital clock......

the battery is easy enough to change and obtain......its a common size......




the best thing about it being on even if the fridge is off is that you always know what the temp is inside it......

you dont have to turn it on to find out.......



also.....if the thermometer had a on/off switch......i know of at least one person that would forget to turn it off.......
