I have a 50lt WAECO, manufactured in 2004 and has worked a treat until I lent it out to a mate !!!!
When I got it back the button on the extreme right hand side that controls the temperature was not controlling the temp.
These buttons are those pressure pad type, like the top of a jar after it's been opened. If you try to adjust the temp the temp bar lights up and down and the "error" button comes on.
Anyone had similar problems, or know how to fix it ????

Stevie,
Interested to know the outcome of your call to Waeco .
I have a CF50 with the digital display and had it running on 12v (when motor running) and switched to 240v , after i turned engine off,and then the error light came on.
Took out the 12v lead and all OK
Phoned Waeco because it is supposed to automatically switch to 240, when the 240 plug is activated.
They said it takes about 3/4 minutes and the error light will swich off and the transfer from 12 to 240 will take place.

My problem seems to be fixed (at the moment) and was all to do with the "pressure pad".
Rang Waeco who stated that I should peel back the sticky pad and
check that the pad is connecting with the button underneath.
I took out the two screws (just inside lid) that fix on the control box, fiddle around with the three buttons that stick up, make sure your tongue sticking right out because I replaced my control box and it's all systems go !!!!!
I don't really know what the problem was but it seems to be rectified, and I think it was just a dud connection where as yours seems to be more serious (if thats the right word).
When I rang Waeco I spoke to a female who was very helpful and definitely knew what she was talking about !!!
Hope this helps
Stevie
