Waeco Fridge

Similar problems with a 40l Waeco.

Ours in in at the repairman AGAIN!!!!

Going to dump it soon

The light flashing every 5 seconds is an indication that the unit is not receiving enough power from the battery.

I found this out when this happened to me last week.

I had plugged the Waeco lead into a socket that turned out to be partly damaged.

Replaced the socket and all fixed.

I've had exactly the same problem with the same fridge (Waeco 50L), bought new last May. It would run for days at a time and then that stupid red light would start blinking and it wouldn't cool. After much stuffing around that I won't bother detailing, I took it to my auto electrician who found that the in line fuse holder on the Waeco supplied 6mm cable that runs from the battery to the where the fridge is, was faulty. He replaced it with a circuit breaker on the firewall and all is well so far. Whether this turns out to be a permanent fix or not remains to be seen, but I'd certainly be checking the connections on that in line fuse, or better still, just replace it.

I've had my 50L Waeco for about 6 years now & it has never missed a beat. It has been subjected to some pretty rough treatment in the back of the 4by & been forced to operate in some pretty hot weather - it works perfectly.

I hear a lot of issues about fridges not working - all brands - & it is usually due to insufficient vehicle wiring

I bought it over the Engel because it was better value for money & imo a better fridge..............i am yet to be proved wrong

I have the 85 ltr model occasionally the red light flashes but it has usually been the cig lighter socket at fault. Now have a marine 2 pin screw together type socket - no chance of it ever coming apart
By the way my fridge doubles as a beer fridge at home it basically is never off and is going great after 3yrs
WAECO for me
