This is the naughty WAECO fridge. It plays up every now and then and decides not to turn back on until the temperature is around 12c in the fridge compartment. Then turns off once it has reached 5c. This happens no matter what the temperature gauge is set at. Two weeks ago it was doing this constantly, instead of once in a while and then stopped alltogether. So we called in the experts.
One week later, and having to use there little box fridge, they can't seam to be able to fix the problem. So they bought our fridge back to us!!! It was working mostly, but not constantly at the correct temp. Then it decided to turn off for the whole night. More food to throw out. This is so annoying. Do we buy a new fridge or are they going to be able to fix the problem. They seam to just want to moniter the fridge for days and then say they are puzzled, it works fine then doesn't work fine. I told them that right from the start. They did replace a switch the first day they had the fridge, but that only fixed the "not turn back on" problem.
The original pesky problem is still there. So two weeks on now and they still want to just monitor it. This is stupid. Out the door goes the overly expensive 24v WAECO motorhome fridge and in with a 240v SAMSUNG house fridge. We have 8 big solar panels, 8 house batteries and a large inverter so a two and a half star energy saving rating house fridge at $500 is a lot better than a dodgy $2,000 motorhome fridge that spoils our food and could make us very sick. Problem fixed. Boy, what an expensive weekend. Could have been worse.
