How much power does a waeco cf40 use?
It makes an ideal camping fridge and won’t let you down in the bush. Even at 55ºC the energy consumption of the CF-40 AC was a class leading 2.2A per hour and that means you get more run time out of your battery….Short description:

How many amps does a 12V fridge use?
Size, compressor style, ambient temperature, insulation thickness, the temperature they are set to cool to, what you are using it for, and the list goes on. However, most will consume in between 1 amp and 6 amps (with 2.5 amps being fairly average) an hour when running.
Can a WAECO cf40 run on 12V?
I have a Waeco CF40 the same as yours. If I disconnect it from 240 without turning it off using the fridge’s On/Off switch (which is an electronic switch, not a physical one) first, then it will not run on 12V. I have to plug it back into 240V, ensure it is on, then turn it off using the ON/Off switch.
Why does my WAECO fridge not run on 240V?
I have a Waeco fridge that won’t run on 240v. It’s working fine on 12v battery when on the road. But as soon as you connect the 240v supply the fridge cuts out and the internal red light flashes every 5 seconds. As soon as the hook up lead is disconnected it kicks in again and runs on the leisure battery.

How long has the CF50 Waeco fridge been running?
I have a cf50 waeco fridge I have been running the fridge on 240v electricity for a bout 4 years. It’s been camping and running on 12v battery power when camping. It stopped working yesterday and was showing spasmodic digital half number. So I have tried a different power cable with the same result.

Can a WAECO fridge run on a 12V battery?
There may be a fault on the MPS50 power unit, can you disconnect it from the fridge and test it produces 12volts and also at the same time check the fridge will run on 12v from the leisure battery. I had a one that was faulty and had to be replaced. I ran the fridge on a 12v battery supply for several weeks whilst on a long trip in France.
