Waeco Fridge problem

[rafiki_]

Popped over to Rafiki, and switched the fridge on for the first time this season, to find it not working. The interior light is working, and I checked the power supply, 12.7 v. No sign of the compressor kicking in.

Any thoughts?

Try checking the rectifier if you have one fitted (the 240/12v converter) these are prone to failing, link up the b+ to c+ and b- to c- or check battery voltage as they wont work without correct voltage.

Could just be the thermostat packed up, its usually the first to go, and also the best result (i.e cheapest to replace)

Many thanks both of you.

Any idea where I find the thermostat? it was not obvious when I looked yesterday.

Any ideas on the correct voltages for the b+ and c+ etc?

Hi the thromostat is inside the fridge, should be covered with a white plastic clip on cover.

i have wiring diagrams for my fridge on the boat, not sure what model you have but i am happy to get them tomorrow and scan and e-mail them to you, they give all the voltages etc

I have the Waeco Coolmatic 65 litre. Rafiki is 8 years old now, and I assume the fridge is original fit. I looked on the Waeco website but this appears to be down for maintenance at the moment, so if you have any info I would be very grateful.
