Freezing Waeco

Not sure about the 60 but the 80 had dividers between fridge / freezer. If the 60 has them make sure they are fitted correctly as there are 2 ways to hook them up depending on if you want the fridge and freezer to be exactly that.
If all else fails..give waeco a call..they r pretty good with after sales service.

Russel & Mary are correct - from memory the override switch (the red one) should be on OFF - If your thermo ever goes on you you can then put this on the ON position and the fridge will go flat out and not cycle on and off to obtain the required seting.

Buy a cheap thermometer from tandys and monitor the temp...

You have a switch adjacent the power plug which prevents the fridge being accidentally turned off at the control panel (some well thought out idea from the Germans). You need to turn this off or it will freeze everything all the time.

Another tip for Waeco owners, do not place the lo,med hi power switch to hi when hooked up to 12 volt DC as it will not have enough power to keep the compressor going (once again I don't know why they think up these devices which only works when on AC). I always keep mine on lo (in fact I have placed a peice of tap over it so it can't be moved by mistake).

When I see some of the bizarre responses to what seems a simple question, perhaps asking the manufacturer will simplify things....thats what I did when thses things happened.

Hee hee, I had the same problem with my mod'ed Wacoe Thermo Cooler on Sunday night. The AAA Batteries went flat in the digital thermostat I added to it so it automatically went into bypass and run flat out all night drawing 8amps!! I woke up at 5:45 with my battery monitor beeping madly at me and switched it off after realising what had happened. I came back from my bush walk and cracked open a Can of Lemmonade at 7:30 and it still was half frozen!
