Why does my Waeco Refrigerator compressor run continuously?

  John OconnorJul 30, 2025
  If your Waeco Refrigerator's compressor runs for a long time or continuously, it could be due to several reasons. The evaporator might be iced over, in which case you should defrost it. Check the cooling area insulation; if it's insufficient, moist, or wet, adjust or replace the door seal. Ensure sufficient ventilation and clean the condenser if it's dirty. If your refrigerator has a fan, a defective fan could also be the cause, so replace it if necessary.

  If the Waeco Refrigerator does not function and the power LED does not glow, it could be due to two primary reasons. First, there might be no voltage present in the 12/24 V supply. Check the power source to ensure the battery is switched on. Second, the integrated mains adapter might be defective, which requires repair by an authorized repair center.

  If your Waeco Refrigerator's compressor runs constantly, it could be due to a couple of reasons. The thermostat sensor may not have contact with the evaporator; in this case, secure the sensor. Alternatively, there might be a short circuit in the thermostat line, or the thermostat itself could be defective, requiring you to change the thermostat.

Why is my Waeco CoolMatic RPD-175 making a loud humming noise?
- R
  Russell CastilloAug 26, 2025
  If your Waeco Refrigerator is making a loud humming noise, it could be due to a couple of reasons. A component of the refrigerant circuit might not be moving freely because it's against the wall; carefully bend the component. Alternatively, there could be a foreign body jammed between the cooling device and the wall, so remove the foreign body.
