How to troubleshoot a BRASS MONKEY Freezer that is not working?
If your BRASS MONKEY Freezer isn't working, first check if the switch is on. Also, make sure the plug and socket are properly connected. Verify that the fuse hasn't blown and that the power supply is working correctly. If you've been frequently switching the fridge on and off, remember that this can cause a start delay for the compressor.
Why are the compartments of my BRASS MONKEY GH1624 Freezer too warm?
If your BRASS MONKEY Freezer compartments are too warm, it might be because the lid is being opened frequently, or a large amount of warm or hot food was recently stored inside. It could also be that the refrigerator has been disconnected for an extended period.
What to do if food is frozen in my BRASS MONKEY GH1624?
If food is freezing in your BRASS MONKEY Freezer, it's likely that the temperature setting is too low. Adjust the temperature to a higher setting.
What to do if code F1 is displayed on my BRASS MONKEY GH1624 Freezer?
If the display shows code F1 on your BRASS MONKEY Freezer, it means there's low voltage to the fridge. To solve this, adjust the battery protection setting from High to Medium, or from Medium to Low.

This document serves as an instruction manual for the GH1624 22L Portable Fridge/Freezer, a versatile appliance designed for both refrigeration and freezing purposes. The device is branded as "Brass Monkey" and is intended for portable use, offering convenience for various applications such as camping, car travel, and household use.
The GH1624 is a portable fridge/freezer capable of maintaining temperatures ranging from -20°C to +20°C, making it suitable for storing a wide variety of items, from chilled beverages to frozen foods and even medicines. It features a fast freezing zone specifically designed for making ice cubes. The appliance operates on DC power (12/24VDC) and incorporates a high-efficiency DC compressor and conversion module for reliable performance. It offers dual mode operation, allowing users to choose between "Max" for rapid cooling and "Economy" for energy saving, catering to different power consumption needs and situations. A digital temperature display with adjustable controls enables precise temperature management. The device also includes a USB port (5V, 2.1A) for charging digital devices like mobile phones and tablets, adding to its utility in remote or mobile settings.
The fridge/freezer is designed for ease of use with a straightforward control panel. To power on, users simply press the power switch button; a long press for three seconds will switch it off. Temperature adjustment is intuitive, using "+" and "-" buttons to set the desired temperature within the -20°C to +20°C range. After a few seconds of inactivity, the display will stop flashing, indicating that the set temperature is locked, and will then show the real-time temperature inside the box. The fast cooling/energy saving mode can be toggled in the unlocked state by touching the setting button, allowing users to switch between MAX and ECO modes as needed.
A key safety and convenience feature is the automatic screen lock. The operation panel locks itself within 10 seconds of inactivity, displaying a lock icon. To unlock, users can press any button to make the lock icon flash, then long-press the unlock button for two seconds.
For in-car use, the GH1624 incorporates a three-level battery protection function to safeguard both the product and the vehicle's battery. In the power-on state, users can long-press the SET button for three seconds to access the battery protection settings (L, M, and H), which are displayed flashing. The factory default is set to "L" protection. It is recommended to set the protection to "H" when connected to car power, especially if the product will continue to operate after the car engine is turned off, to prevent draining the vehicle's battery. For portable or backup batteries, "M" or "L" settings are more appropriate. If a voltage protection code F1 appears on the panel, it indicates a need to adjust the battery gear from H to M, or M to L, depending on the vehicle's output voltage.
The appliance is designed to be stable during operation, with a recommended tilt angle of less than 5° for long-term use and less than 45° for short-term use. It is crucial to ensure the ventilation openings are free from obstacles to maintain optimal performance.
Proper cleaning and maintenance are essential for the longevity and efficient operation of the GH1624. Before any cleaning or maintenance, the device must be disconnected from the power supply to prevent electric shock. The exterior and interior can be cleaned with a wet cloth and then dried. It is important to avoid soaking the device in water or washing it directly, and abrasive cleaning agents should not be used as they can cause damage.
Defrosting is a regular maintenance task to prevent frost buildup, which can affect cooling performance. To defrost, the device should be switched off, its contents removed, and the lid left open. The cover can then be removed, and water drained from the hole at the bottom of the device. Any defrosted water should be wiped away with a soft rag. Users are explicitly warned against using hard or sharp tools to remove ice or loosen frozen objects, as this can damage the refrigerant circuit.
For long-term storage, the device should be turned off, unplugged, and all items removed. After cleaning and drying, the lid should be left slightly open to prevent odor formation, and the appliance should be stored in a cool, dry place.
The manual also provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues, such as the refrigerator not working, compartments being too warm or food freezing, unusual noises, and error codes (F1-F8). For issues indicated by error codes, the general remedy involves disconnecting power for 5 minutes and restarting. If the code persists, contacting the manufacturer for service is advised. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified personnel to avoid danger, and replacement of the lamp or supply cord must be done by the manufacturer or qualified persons.
The GH1624 comes with a 3-year warranty, covering manufacturing defects. This warranty does not cover modified products, misuse, abuse, or normal wear and tear.
