Hi all,
Woke up this morning and went to adjust the temperature on the fridge and the damn button is stuck. The fridge now continually cycles from low to high. The light display is impressive though. Luckily I was at
home and using the fridge to keep the beers cold.
I have not heard of this problem before with the waeco's. The fridge up until now has run perfectly, having had it for 18 months or so.
Cheers

sorry to be so late with this but I have not been on the
forum for a few weeks. Your story caught me eye and I thought I could update you. I have had exactly the same problem with
mine. I took it to a warranty place (that Waeco directed me to) and he fixed it. As soon as I said the problem on the phone he knew the fault straight away. "it is a design fault with the guage but once it's fixed it will never happen again". The button is just a bit too close to the metal contact. All he does is screw the metal contact away from the button a bit and presto it works.
Mine has been fixed ever since.
Even though it may have stopped now on your fridge it will occur again. Might as
well get it fixed whilst it is still in warranty.
