Waeco CF40/50/60 Digital Upgrade

When you think of a 12V camping or portable fridge the Waeco CF series is probably the one that comes to mind along side the classic Engel fridge.
The electronic parts for these fridges are becoming rare or obsolete, if not impossible to get as stock of spare parts begin to run out. I suspect that Dometic (now the owner of Waeco since 2007) no longer manufactures these parts as the fridges are over 10 years old. In all fairness they have been excellent in supporting their fridges well beyond model run out and much better than most distributors in Australia. However these fridge are great so dont throw them in the dump!
I have a solution for extending the life of these great fridges for many years to come and save them from Landfill and save you money - so watch my. video

Great solution to keep them going.
My CF40AC that Ive had since 2004 only recently had the thermistor go bad and i changed it myself and its going strong again
with your solution do you sell the new controller & mounting panel?

I do but it depends on the model variant you have some are quite straightforward others require rewiring.

This looks nicer than the STC-1000 I hacked in to get mine going, however it works and was $12. Do you have any mods on how to lid on these things?

what ?

[@SgtGunny-gz5hg]

So I bought the 60 today. It all works fine and the led working....but how do you know what the temperature are at? Also I tried looking for Manuels for them online but I can't seem to find one that is relevant to mine.

[@timterry8714]

You dont know what the temperature actually is without a digital temperature gauge. This was one of the issues with the older model. My upgrade fixes that issue.
