Waeco CF60 12V Lead - Replacement Fuse

PGK,
Look up the Waeco service centre list on thier website.
They have many service agents around Melbourne. The fuse is usually an 8amp ceramic type. The most common reason for it to blow would be a short of some sort.
You could even get that type of fuse from most places like Jaycar, autobarn.....

I am guessing it's the same types as the Engels. They are thermal fuses. I replaced mine with a normal fuse $1 vs a $10 fuse and it's doing it's thing

Anywhere that sells waeco should have spare leads/fuses etc.

Try Camping World or Annaconda, Rays, BCF, or any of the larger camping retailers near you.

You should be able to get the fuse at any auto shop. As for the cause, we had one fuse blow when condensation ran down the lead into the socket, shorting it out. Now I make sure the lead drops below the socket height and up to the socket. Hope this helps, Steve

if its a thermal fuse... toss it! (as someone else said above)

if its just a 10 amp or whatever get a plain glass fuse

Hiya,
I had a bit of a hiccup with my brand new Waeco CF40 very recently. I wired in the aux. battery and cigarette lighter socket for the fridge myself and off we went to Ningaloo (wish it was that simple!) Got to the teeming metropolis called Rabbit Flat and the fridge was dead. Amidst 40 gazillion bush flies and 43 degrees in the shade (I kid you not), I figured out it was the actual socket that comes with the 12v cable. I had a few of those ceramic fuses spare and each time I replaced it, it blew again. I reckon the actual 12V male fitting is a poor quality one. I managed to get to Broome without everything going bad in the fridge and asked an auto electrician to cut the fitting off and fix me a cable that I could connect directly to the battery. They also put an in-line fuse on the live wire (far better than that cr@ppy ceramic one) and after 9000 awesome kilometres, it was still going fine. Very impressed with the frdge I might add.
And my wiring as that wasn't the problem! ha ha ha

Just do what a lot of others have done and cut off the plug and replace with a hella/merrit/jaycar/narva brand plug and put in an inline fuseholder with a 7.5A fuse( blade fuse )..

reduces voltage drop problems and dead easy to replace a fuse if ever needed !!
