Waeco CF 50 getting too cold

HI Pepper.
I have had my 50l waeco for over 12 months.On setting 2 lights it runs on 3/4 degrees.On setting 3 lights, it runs between-1 & 1 degree.I have found the meat
at the bottom to freeze & the rest of the fridge is OK.
Does the compressor cycle on & off when only 1 light is on? If it stays running all the time I would email waeco for some technical info.
Regards
Vince

If it still frezes at "highest" (warmest ) then something is clearly wrong.Wow! am I cute

The waeco fridge has a thermostat conected to a thermister on the side of the inner chamber. The thermister is attached the innerchamber with a dob of silastick. this dob of silastic does not hold on some units so the thermister is not in contact with the cold. Waeco are well aware of this problem and will give you a new unit. Eric.

also make sure that the emergency switch is set to "off". it over-rides the thermo

bleep mate, your having a bad trot.

Boiling Car and freezing Fridge, whats next for the new year.

I have an upright Waeco 50litre with the freezer up the top and it works like a dream.

We turn it the night before leave (240V) and then fill it to capacity, including frozen goods in the freezer.

It then basically stays on 12V from then on.

We have had somethings freeze in the bottom on occasion when we had it adjusted too high, however a little experimentation has corrected that.

Take the others advice and stick with it, because they are a good item.

Had mine do the same thing on it's first outing. Took it to the local Waeco service man. He plugged it into his test gear overnight. Found 3 things wrong with it, not sure exactly what. Anyway he rang me to say he had spoken to Waeco, they said don't stuff around trying to fix it, they sent a brand new replacement a couple of days later.

Had no problems with the new one in the past year.

If the emergency switch which is under the hi-lo switch on the side is ON it will cause the fridge to freeze. This is to bypass the LED controls in case of failure. The compressor runs continuously and turns the fridge in to a freezer.

Thanks to all you fellows for the responses to my fridge problem. Andrew and Paul hit the nail on the head. I had the emergency switch in the 'on' position which I did mistake for a general on/off switch (what a dummy). All's well now thanks to you guys.
