The Waeco CF 50SG.
Is it any good and how much are they worth Please?
Frankie, in my opinion any of the Waeco compressor fridge freezers are excellent products. My CF 50 is 16 years old now and has been running for most of its life at around 0C. Either in the car or as...
Read more drinks fridge (Beer). As to the price, you have to look around to get a deal that suits you. Mine did not come with a cover and have not really thought it requires one, but sometimes in the Summer when the back of the car is getting hot I will put a folded towel on the lid.
Hi
I have a new CF50 bought 2weeks ago
Switched it on today (240v) set temp at -1deg c and temp went straight to -6 deg c where compressor switched off
Temp not correcting back to -1deg c?
How can I fix it?
Brilliant unit, have forgotten how to set temp lol I have it on -1 c but keeps defaulting to 3 degrees c. What am I doing wrong?

My Waeco won't bring down temperature when hot on 12 volt, but will run once temperature is bought down with 240 volt. Any ideas?
Probably asking too much of it . Usually your chill it on 240V ythen operate on 12V once col especially on hot days. Alternatively put a bag of ice into it till it gets down to temp then it should mai...

Thanks Steve
Does any one know how to change the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit?
Switch on the cooler.
Press the “SET” button ) twice.
Use the“UP+”)or“DOWN–”) buttons to select Celsius or Fahrenheit.
My CF40 Waeco is set to 0 deg C and the temp displayed after running is also 0 deg. However the measured temp inside (by digital thermometer) is -9 deg C. Is it possible to calibrate the display setting to match the measured temp?
My CF 40 shows a temp of -2 however the fridge is warm doesn't appear to be working,green power light has gone to orange.Tried turning it off and on can hear the compressor run for 60 seconds then nothing but temp stays the same. Any ideas?
I’ve never had this problem,best to talk to the store you purchased your fridge from.
Hi my weaco Cf 40 digital readout is on 60 but the fridge is actually cold, any idea why? !!!!
Hi having problems with my Waco it's a cf50, on 240 its freezes but on 12 volts daul battery system the red light flashes even on the car cigarette lighter what should I look for ?
When the red light comes on it’s not getting the required power it needs you will find going through a sig lighter the wiring is too small and does not carry the correct current for the fridge. I had ...

What setting do you have the cutout or switch off voltage set at?
HI = 11.8 volts ...
I’ve set my waeco cf40 to 5 degrees Celsius. It was on 20 degrees when I started it. It’s deopped to
-1 and won’t allow me to reset it to 5 degrees. What should I do please?
Hi chezza,have you tried turning off and on again and then resetting your temp again?
with the waeco 40,was only freezing,digital 68*replaced the thermistor [$1.75at jayco ]you have to solder your own wires.It takes about 20mins total. It went back into freeze mode, but overnight fixed itself! but the 12 volt, direct coupled to battery, with charger as well, does not work.what now?
ii got a cf40 and it will not work on 12v at all i and checked everything and traced the on the board and it still got no life but it works perfect on 240v. Any ideas?
You may want to check the fuse of your 12V cable. I think it is in the cigarette lighter head of the cable. Or you can use your multi meter to beep the cable.
As I said to you I have checked everythimg
Hi Ihad exactly the same problem. talked to danny newman at waeco, .he solved it straight away. you need a replacement,unit the one that plugs in to the compressor,itself.good luck rgds, chris.
When my cf40 is on 12 to 24 volt when Car is running it works when the car is off it stops and it's on a second battery. Any ideas?
There is a threshold setting on the cf40.
Try as medium, low you may have trouble starting the car for single battery. I suspect it is the battery voltage sensing that decide to turn the fridge off.
Also check the voltage at the plug may be voltage drop, also mine was doing the same thing it was the fuse at the back not making good contacts.
Cheers John
Hello! Hopefully my question isn't terribly stupid...how do you adjust the temperature on the WAECO CF-50 model with the non-digital temperature display? It's currently on freezing and I don't know how to get it out of the freezing mode/ increase the temperature. I attached a link to a photo to show what my control display looks like: https://forum.ih8mud.com/attachments/image-jpeg.1283253/
Thanks!
Each time you press the temp button the line of green lights should increase by 1 (1 light cool, 7 is freeze. Usuallly 2 or 3 lights is sufficient to cool without freezing, it depends on the outside t...
Read moreemperature. If the buttons dont repsond, the control pad is probably faulty. If you have it on cool, but it still freezes, the thermostat (temperature probe) is faulty. When the fridge reaches the desired temp, the power light should change from green to orange. If it stays green, this means the thermostat isnt working and the compressor (motor) is running non stop, causing it to freeze.Get an answer from our members
