I have a CF40 Waeco about 6 years old.
It runs on 12 VDC but not 250 VAC.
The 250 V lead is not the problem as I have applied 250 V directly to the pins on the fridges input.
I suspect a faulty circuit board but before I start ripping things apart – has any one experienced this problem before?
Whats the cost of a replacement CCT Board?

Have had 2 mates who both had to have new circuit boards. Common fault apparently after reading various forums about wacko..

I wouldn’t buy another – I might just write it off as a bad choice

So boobook. I have 2 people who have had first hand experience with failed Waecos. One was on the same camping trip as me and the unit was on its first outing...failed after about 5 hours running. Second was on a waeco that was less than 12 months old, hardly used and again failed. Both times the circuit board failed. Now Denis was after some feed back...which he got honestly. Now you squeak in with sarcasm and infer that I am not credible.

Funny how not long ago you were asking for advice about a trip on this very forum from people. So forums and friends are not reputable... Hypocrite.

I'm sorry you took my observation 'mate experiences on forums' so personally.

Bit harsh boobook, how else was he supposed to take what you said. Seriously mate, basically if you haven't got anything positive to input, pull your head in.
