On the Norcold NRF-30 is the small compartment the freezer and the larger one the fridge? Also does anyone know the avg amp hours or amps per hour?

Laura, the large compartment has the condensor coils all around it and it can be adjusted to either refrigerator temperature or freezer temperature depending on your intended use. The smaller compartment has no condensor coils and would keep items cool from the spillover cold air coming from the larger compartment. Hope that helps. Jake

Every receptacle can hold about 8A. And 2 receptacles can hold total 8A. The freezer needs very high current when they startup. You will need to buy 2000watts inverter.

My Midea HD Refrigerator Freezer ran with a little noise until it was cold & freezing then quieted down to the point I forget it's there. Quiet is good, especially in closed in or small areas. By the way, it also runs efficiently and looks nice. I'm glad I bought it.

No do not put it in Freezer compartment. The batteries may Die .I use it in normal refrigerator compartment and it works excellent!

The Engel Fridge/freezer consumes 2.5 amperes an hour (30 watts) at a 100% duty cycle (the compressor is always on). Typically, I have noted a duty cycle of approximately 50% on a warm day ( 75 degrees F. or 23.9 C.) with the device set at the '3' setting (yields +10 degrees F. or -17.5 degrees C.) which would mean a wattage of 15 watts. Using the machine at a lower setting (as a fridge for example, instead of a freezer) would yield a lower wattage. Obviously, outside temperature affects the duty cycle of any fridge/freezer.

There are several heaters and depending upon the model/serial number the wattage will vary. The best thing to do is call Norcold Customer Services with your model and serial number and if you know the cooling unit number even better. It is located in the back of the fridge and you can see it from outside the coach/trailer. They will give you the correct part number for your unit - then order it on line via Amazon or E bay and save a bundle. It is not an easy job replacing it as the old unit is usually rusted in place- good luck. I accomplished the job and it works fine.

On a standard refrigerator (like top-freezer models), there is one thermostat for the entire unit. Vents in the freezer section allow cold air to cool the fridge section. You didn't ask, but I would recommend the digital version of this temp controller. The analog controller is fairly inaccurate, in my experience and according to other reviews I have read.

When the compressor is running, our freezer uses about 2.5 Amps at 24V, expect 5 Amps at 12V. The duty cycle (the amount of time he compressor runs vs. is not running) will change depending on ambient and set temperature.

Can you tell me the model of mini fridge you are using? I was thinking about doing the same but am afraid it won't hold it for the long term.

At least make sure that there is ample ventilation in the location around your freezer. For the one in my motorhome, I install one of those 4" computer fan through the wall of the compartment, then I monitored the compressor run time during hot days when in Southern Texas and there is not much difference than on cooler days. Change of air around the cooling coil at the back and compressor will ensure that your freezer will last a normal life.

YESYou need to know how many Amps your freezer requires both at peak and normal operation to properly calculate the loads. if you know the watts you should also be able to see the Amps requirement for the equipment.The voltage V in volts (V) is equal to the power P in watts (W), divided by the current I in amps (A):V(V) = P(W) / I(A)

The Norcold NRF-60 is used as either a refrigerator or a freezer, not both at the same time.

The amp draw is 1.3A continuous with "start-up" amp draw listed as 6.0A. This is according to the UL label on the rear of the fridge.

The freezer is tiny. You can get a couple of ice trays in it. I love the fridge. It is quiet and the lower part can hold lots of stuff. I use it in my office.

Sorry this does not have a freezer nor does it run on propane only household current or 12v cigarette lighter plug in. It will get your items really cold, but no freezer. I think there is a Norcold sold on Amazon that runs on propane, 12v and household plug in. I think it cost about $650.00. Just do a search for Norcold refrigerator. Hope this helps.

I am not using that feature, but it should not matter if you want to use both of them....just a guess on my part at this point. It seemed totally arbitrary as to which one is used for the freezer. I just put them in based on position. #1 to the upper freezer, #2 to the lower fridge. I will check the instructions and let you know if it is different from what I just said.

Its a refrigerator not a freezer. It is good enough for insulin or medication if you do not stock it to much. Should work fine. I am a prepper and one of the things we are asked is the same question about medication. So I put a thumbs up.
