    Warmest 'defrost' setting is 1.6 C
    Coldest 'freeze' setting is negative 16.

    Is there a way to give it a bit more resolution in the 'fridge' side of things?
    Pretty sure I started a thread on what I did.......I did a basic conversion to my 15 year ish Engel, now I can dial in any temp and it maintains it exactly like modern fridges.. Got sick of frozen veg/salad.

    Has the fridge been sitting idle for a while?
    If so chuck it on its side and drive around on some heavey corrogations, It used to work wonders on my old house fridges

    Check the thermostat bulb is clipped tight to the evaporater plate.

    If its not,that is your problem,it will run too cold.
