Waeco CF80 Quick & Easy Thermistor Replacement

- My 5yr old CF80 needed a thermistor replacement. I checked out TH-cam naturally and found several helpful resources. I attempted to dismantle the base of my CF80 and it wasn't cooperating. It was going to be a lot harder than I expected.
I located the original faulty thermistor connection which was under the main controls and eassily accessible via removing just 2 screws. I connected the new thermistor & threw the component end into the fridge to test things out. It worked as expected so now how to replace it properly?
I needed to find an alternative method than I'd seen so far. I lifted out the internal light (very simple) and found a channel down into the motor area where the red/black power wires for the light ran. I needed to drill the plastic a little so the thermistor head would fit through and then I was able to feed the thermistor into the interior of the fridge and lay it loose under the basket.
Might not be that elegant but works a treat and I expect most, somewhat handy, people out there could do this in 15mins after viewing this.
Good luck. And always carry a spare thermistor!!
I installed the thermistor today as to your instructions. Works like a charm. Thanks for your video.
Great minds must think alike, as I just did a fix to my 17+ year old CF50 fridge in a similar, but slightly different way and now TH-cam sends me more fix videos.
Good idea since you can’t get access to the original thermistor location. The weak link in Dometic/Waeco fridges is the thermistor. For the CFX they made it easier to replace. Just did my CFX65.
Going to give this a go. Just need to source a long thermistor
Looks good, I’ll do that 👍👍👍
Hi
I used it well, but suddenly the power went out, and if I take away the part of the cigar jack, it blinks and seems like the light is coming in for a while, but it doesn't come in
What is the problem? And how should I buy the part to solve the problem?
60l same brand.
Many tnx
Things to check:
Power - does it work on AC, is your battery >= 12v
Connections - check you haven't disturbed other wires/connectors when fitting the replacement thermistor.
If the problem continues it's likely a fault on one of the circuit boards. Suggest you take to a service agent as it looks like it's beyond DIY
Is this still working? Only reason I ask is because moisture is usually what kills the thermistors.
Yep, still working. I have a spare tucked inside just in case.
A lot of moisture down there a you know. I guess I could zip tie it to the cage if that was an issue.
