Hi guys,
Hoping for some advice....have a waeco cf25 ....and it wont stop cooling.....now before everyone says thermostat etc.....it is cooling even when turned off. As in.....plugged in to power, but the fridge is turned off....led display turns off......but fridge keeps running unless i unplug it from power. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Check that the emergency switch that Waeco's have is turned off.

Emergency switch is off....the waeco is on....even though i have turned it off.....if it has power it runs at full....like i said.....unit turned off....no lights on display but compressor still runs if it has power (with unit turned off)

I would contact Waeco they should be able to direct you to someone in your area who is authorised to fix it for them.

Could
well be the membrane switch panel (malfunction caused by too much pressure on the buttons)....an authorised fridge tech might be the go.....if it is that panel, one good thing is they seem relatively cheap.

As per Darian's comment ,try opening lid and then undo 2 screws near switches but under lid, remove cover over switches and operate switches direct ( you will find them under the membrane cover). I had similar problem in that
mine being an older model with only a number of lights to display temp was cycling those lights and not turning off even when fridge was frozen up
