Waeco CF-40AC test

Well we couldn't possibly know which of the reliable Aussie made fridges you have but at least you didn't get an Engel or a Waeco :-))
PS: Yet another Waeco failed at last weekends camp.
Cheers Craig..................

What date do you have ?

CRACKLES , WHEN YOU SAY ANOTHER WAECO FAILED WHAT DO YOU MEAN ? WAS IT PLUGGED IN ? WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM ?
THE CUSTOMER HAS A FREE CALL NUMBER AND, 5YR WARRANTY ON COMPRESSOR. THEY SHOULD CALL FOR ANSWER RE HIS/HER QUESTIONS OVER THE PHONE, I NOTICED YOU HAVE SOME FILTER SO YOU CAN;T BE CONTACTED . I ONLY MENTIONED THIS ARTICLE INCASE ANY BODY WANTED A CAPTAIN COOK MATE .( WELL WE COULDN'T POSSIBLY KNOW WHICH RELIABLE FRIDGE I HAVE ), WAECO ,( CF-50AC VERB,) (CF-60AC VERB.) THEY BOUNCE AROUND ALL DAY ON MY TRUCK . .

When I said another Waeco failed I meant it stopped cooling so they had to put their food & drink in our fridge. I'm no expert on them but there was 12.5V to the unit so it wasn't a supply problem. I have no doubt the warrenty will ensure the fridge is repaired quickly, that is one thing Waeco are very good at but that didn't help them out in the bush when they want a cold beer.
I only mentioned the recent failure as they are the brand that stop the most on group trips that I've been on. While on paper they may win tests, their reliability at times in the field seems to be poor whether it be lids warping, latches falling off, electronics failing or just blowing fuses, I've seen them all.
Glad to hear you're having a good run with yours, I'd certainly hope & expect that many people don't ever have problems.
No filter just that I'm not a member so it's been deemed by the ExOz management there be no messaging for me.

Unfortunately they only had a 1 year warrenty but then we've never had to touch either :-)

What the full reoprt (done a few years ago) doesn't mention is:
One manufacturer didn't submit a unit for testing because he was aware of another manufacturer 'tweaking' the test fridge to get favourable results.
And another brand that took 4 units to get one that gave the claimed performance and results !!

Crackles,
I am on the road full time with our business , I have never meet any body that's had a problem with their Waeco . The only time I read about peoplems is on OZ , I have been a member since 2005 in that period i think I have looked at OZ approx 12 times mate. Some time ago I made a (mistake) when I mentioned one of our products so I can't really say any thing accept , people have the 07 5507 6040, I think 1800 waeco your 1st easy step for assistance. It's now Thursday so what did waeco tell your Friends . I know a lot of people don't read their instructions .

Just enjoy every day mate you have no idea what's around the corner.
My life went down the toilet after 3 major spinal operations , I was doing kick boxing weights, surfed large waves and rode Speedway Solos was going to England until I gave in and allowed spinal operation number 1 , 2 and 3 . Just enjoy the fact your going bush ya got a fridge and mates ,ok . I didn't want to create any problems infact the only way i know how to forward the test results i mentioned is by attachment x email.

Stay well mate -:)

I am glad you put that in writining.

Found it Waeco advertorial

It never ceases to amaze me that they cant get the terminology correct.

"Average Power Consumption = 0.87 amps/hr"
