Great service and delivery Review by
Received the new fridge within a week of purchase. Installed back in original place as the old Cr1080 but the mounting points were a little different but was a easy adjustment. A couple of hours and all done as the wiring was the same. The temperature was great and didn’t differ as much as the older version. Just a few degrees Was in 38 degrees temperature and worked great.

Exactly what I needed Review by
After researching for a new fridge for my new Touring Canopy I couldn't go past this item. The reduced weight and lack of need for a fridge slide combined with lower power draw was exactly what I was looking for. The ease of pulling up and accessing the fridge is perfect.... A must have and the future of touring setups.

Ordered this fridge because it was the only one that would fit into the cavity we had, it was for a vintage caravan. It fits in well in looks and size, and works very well, and also gets cold very fast.

Amazing product and service Review by
My domestic waeco crx80 has been great!! Running at a great temperature, the fridge is very neat, uses little power and doesn’t take up much room! We are stoked with how much we can fit in it and the bonus of having the freezer section as well!

Be aware when you buy this product that the backing and sides are merely corrugated plastic sheets and the 12v wire is very short and has no plug which you can not see in the pictures.

Great fridge - fantastic Review by
Replaced 3 way 60L fridge in our Adria caravan. Although it took a bit of work to modify the space it fitted in perfectly and was able to add the trim from old fridge to the door. It is just so much better in operation and keeps food at correct temperature. And so much more usable space. Should have done this years ago.

Excellent Product & Service Review by
Bought this fridge for my first campervan conversion. Excellent high quality product that fits perfectly in the space and still leaves room for a drawer. Lots of storage inside the fridge too.

Works well and fits the space in caravan,. Review by
Had an old Electrolux 3 way caravan fridge that was over greedy on 12 Volt and as such poor performance on a trip.. Replaced it with a Dometic CRX80 and am greatly impressed by the quick cool down and miserly draw on 12 volts . It fitted in the old spot with a minor modification to the height above cabinet. I am now seriously Off Grid and a happy camper.

Great fridge got a little better Review by
I had this model previously in a campervan and thought we’d stay with what works for us. We like the new display panel and led lighting in this new model. The bonus 8 litre fridge was a nice touch. Thank you.

Excellent fridge fitted our requirement perfectly Review by
The 80lt waeco upright was chosen to fit into a vehicle canopy,and for the fact that is is a combination fridge/freezer with the freezer section removable.It is the perfect fridge for our situation.

Chose this upright fridge over the usual chest fridge. The upright configuration makes it easy to access everything instead of digging around in the chest which made life easier. The bonus 8L cooler/warmer was a nice addition.

Great Service. Review by
My Generator were running a promotion with a really good price on the fridge and I think they sold a few more than they though and didn't have stock, the guys were so helpful during the process and got the fridge out to me as soon as Dometic had stock. They even gave me a further discount after the initial purcahse.

Great product and price Review by
Chose this upright fridge over the usual chest fridge for my 4wd canopy to reduce weight and the necessity of an additional fridge slide. The fridge has been great so far and we gave it a good run on our recent camping holiday.The upright configuration makes it easy to access everything instead of digging around in the chest which made life easier. If I was to pick anything that could be improved, it would probably be the lower plastic shelf and crisper flap. The shelf is not as sturdy as the typical wire shelf and the crisper flap does restrict the access to get things in and out. The bonus 8L cooler/warmer was a nice addition.

Great fridge at an excellent price Review by
I've fitted this 80 litre fridge to my slide on Carry-Me camper. A fantastic product and worth every cent (less than $1,200 delivered). So much better for our purposes than an esky style 12 volt fridge that requires mounting on an expensive drop down fridge slide, as it's cheaper (especially when additional cost of the drop down fridge slide is included) and most importantly it's lighter - as I don't have the additional weight of the drop down slide. The fridge is so quiet you don't know it's on. As a bonus we also received an in-car 7 litre Waeco cooler/warmer.

Dometic WAECO CoolMatic CRX80 Fridge & Freezer 78L Review by
Fast delivery, great that we got the small fridge for free. Unfortunately the fridge was stolen from the people we paid to fit out our camper so I cannot really comment - good enough to be stolen!!

Excellent product Review by
Purchased the fridge for our small motor home and everything from the purchase of the fridge to delivery was excellent service from the guys, had to phone them with a couple of silly questions (at least I thought) but they answered my questions with total professionalism got off the phone feeling good not silly, very easy to install the fridge and believe me if I did it then any one can do it so easy, went away for 4 days and am impressed with my product and price and quality is tops. Would recommend buying from My Generator any time.

Fantastic service, promt delivery and great produc Review by
We purchased the upright dometic fridge to put in our camper trailer. Also purchased the flush frame to finish off the installation although this is only really for looks. Fridge itself is good quality. I do find the handle a little flimsy feeling and must open with two hands. Will see how this goes as I have concerns this will break with the double latch. We are running the fridge off DC 240 ah battery bank and power consumption is well within tolerance. The built in freezer is handy however as there is no separate temperature have found that the fridge will freeze to keep the freezer section frozen. We have a separate freezer so will not generally use the freezer compartment but is very handy to have especially over night or short stays. Overall very happy with the fridge and is working very well. Great addition to our trailer.
(Posted on 6 November 2018)
A good product at an excellent price Review by
This is a well made and hopefully, durable product. The removable freezer is an attractive feature. I do find it a little difficult to open at times but hopefully, that will also mean that it will not fall open inadvertently. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase.

Great Value! Review by
Shopped around before purchasing from Mygenerator.com.au and saved OVER $200 on the price quoted by local suppliers! Also received the 8 litre cooler/ warmer at no extra. My husband put the fridge into our Camper with no problems and it works beautifully! We are very happy with the products we purchased!

Compact Review by
Love the one hand access to the fridge. It is as easy as your fridge at home. No need for slides or drop down bits. No holding the lid up while getting stuff out. Once you have your beer you just close it like the fridge at home. No extra latches to so up or slides to put away.

Easy Purchase Review by
Purchased as replacement fridge for our Truck. This is the second one we have had and they work well in the truck, both size wise and for functionality.

Really pleased with our purchase Review by
Just spent two weeks remote camping in the Cape Range National Park. Had decided we weren't having a gas fridge in our camper trailer after our last one burnt down due to a gas leak. So we went with the solar panels, and the whole thing was excellent. The freezer was so good we even came back with some of our frozen food. The CRX80 is a great size, and using it in conjunction with our Engel in the car, we were covered for everything. Would say however, that the instructions for getting the right temperature were not exactly correct in the book ...
(Posted on 2 June 2018)
What a surprise Review by
Not much tech stuff as a traveler, performance is all I'm interested in. I've been an engel user for years but because of the opening where my new fridge was to live, Engel just couldn't supply me with the right size, so the search began and the Dometic Waeco CRX80 was the closest size which would fit the opening. We go right out there in hills & dunes, the whole lot so its been two really hard weeks of travel and the crx 80 has not missed a beat. It surprised me that it cools down as fast as the engel in the truck and at night time it is so much quieter than the engel. Everything stayed in place reasonably well considering the terrain we traveled. As economic as the engel, and I'm running two 120 agm fullrivers battery and 200w solar on the roof with a victron regulator and even with some overcast days, the batteries stayed full and they were on 24 hrs everyday. This Dometic replaced my 18year old Domectic 3 way which has a new life in another van. Reason for CRX80: Just wanted to go totally offgrid.

I like the door layout Review by
1. Door layout was much better than expected with the option of either top or bottom opening systems. Even better is the vent which allows for airing when not in use. That was an unexpected bonus. 2. Fridge has only run for 24 hours (240v) so far. It cools down much better than the unit I had before. 3. Product I had before was much cheaper, but the quality of the Waeco 80l was so far in front of the other that the Waeco was clearly better value for money. Very happy with my purchase.

Putting it into a custom made lift off camper. ( Still installing it ). Removable freezer compartment is nice for more room. Super light weight. Flush mount kit trims it out real nice.

A Practical Cooling Solution Review by
This 12v 240 volt fridge uses power economically (including a variable speed compressor) We found it drew at least 20% less than our old style fridge of the same size. The LED temperature display is clear and unambiguous while the LED interior lighting is bright and clear. There are other design improvements as well - simple things like relocating the position of the 240 volt plug and the rear facing 12 volt inputs means that the sides are free of obstructions making it easy to slide the fridge in and out of confined spaces. Overall this is a first rate product, we couldn't be happier.

Product Q&A

Ask Us a Question
  • The manual refers to a red/black cable to connect to the battery. But all I can find is a white/black cable?

    Yes it is a white/black cable. Simply follow the cable back to the compressor model to see which is labelled as negative and which is positive.

    For any Waeco technical support simply call 1800 212 121. Thanks!

  • How often do I need to service my Dometic RV/Caravan appliances?

    Dometic recommend servicing their gas appliances on a yearly basis, even if the vehicle has not been used. Additionally, bear in mind that insects can built nests in the gas appliances which will cause the appliances to stop working. It can also cause potentially dangerous scenarios.

    For other appliances, such as refrigerators and air conditioners, to ensure the appliances to work efficiently and last longer it is recommended to clean the condenser.

  • Hi, what compressor is used in the Waeco CoolMatic CR fridges?

    Hi Jake;  the Waeco CoolMatic CR range of fridges use a Secop compressor. 

    In Summer 2016, Dometic Waeco will release a newer version of these models known as the Waeco CoolMatic CRX range, and these fridges use a Waeco compressor. These newer models are available in the same size, and offer a couple of additional benefits such as removable freezer compartment, slightly reduced noise, and slightly better energy efficiency.  

     

  • The manual for the latest CRX models mentions that you need a MPS 35 Rectifier (listed as an accessory) if you plan on connecting to 12v and 240v, is this correct and where are they available from and the cost?

    Hi James, great question. The latest version of the Dometic CRX Manuals do make reference to an MPS Rectifier as an accessory... which is a little confusing because you definitely do NOT need this rectifier to run any of the Dometic CRX models on AC (240 Volt) mains power. All of the Dometic CRX models can be operated directly on a 12/24V DC or 240V AC power source. 

    The reason it is mentioned in the manual is that it is a universal manual, intended for a world wide audience...and there are some versions of the CRX models sold in other parts of the world (outside Australia) which are slightly different than the models in Australia. 

    In summary;  the latest versions of the Dometic Waeco CRX Compressor RV Fridges that we sell here in Australia do NOT need any sort of adaptor or rectifier to be able to run on either DC or AC power. Many thanks. 

     

  • Can you confirm which Dometic Waeco CRX models have the LAC (Low Ambient Control) (winter kit) fitted as standard? The CRX product manual states only CRX 110 & 140 models have this fitted.

    Hi there, the Winter Kit/LAC function is built into the Dometic Waeco CRX110 & CRX140 models only. These two CRX models have a permanent freezer (the 3 smaller CRX models have a removeable freezer). The LAC winter mode ensures optimum operation at ambient temperature of below 16°C.

    There is no LAC function inbuilt to the CRX80/65/50 models...nor can a 'winter kit' be fitted to these 3 smaller models.

    The Dometic CRX units are tropical rated fridges, which the specified operating temperature is 18-43°C. They will still maintain a normal fridge compartment temperature when the ambient is lower than 18°C, but will cycle off for longer periods, and depending on stock level the freezer temp may rise...Hint: if the freezer is stocked fully with dense products, then the temp will hold over for longer in the off cycle. 

    Many thanks

  • With regards to the Dometic Waeco Upright fridge models. Can I choose which side of the door the hinge goes on?

    Yes.

    Some models require the customer to choose a hinge position prior to delivery. You will notice a Left Or Right Hand hinge option on the product page.

    With all the other models you will be supplied with a hinge conversion kit. The door will come with the hinge on the right hand side as standard. You can easily change it over using the kit. Feel free to view the Installation instructions on the product page for each model.

  • Does the fridge auto select between 12v/24v?

    Hi - Yes it does!

    Thank you :)

  • Is there a FULL 3 year warranty Cheers

    Hi Al,

    The Dometic CRX range come with a 3 year manufacturers warranty. 

    All Dometic warranty information can be found by clicking here.

  • Hi there,Can the fridge be mounted through the base? Ie fixings on the bottom on a 4wd canopy rather than through the side walls?

    Hi Chris,

    There are no mounting holes in the base of the fridge,

    The fridges require mounting through the side walls.

  • Hi, I have just tried to connect my fridge through the A.C. power and power button inside doesn't seem to work / isn't showing power / no lights / not working. We have testing the power in the cables and it shows 12v running from the battery. Can you ple

    Hi Hilary,

    The only powerbutton is on the inside left of the fridge, which should simply require pressing to turn on.

    If this does not work, we would recommend testing the fridge on mains power to determine if it is just a 12V issue.

    If it is, we would recommend contacting Dometic on 1800 21 21 21 for service.

  • I was told the Waeco CRX has removable freezer compartments- is that correct for all models?

    Hi Sam, in the CRX range, only the CRX50, CRX65, and the CRX80 models have a removable freezer compartment. 

    The two larger models in the ranf (CRX110 and CRX1140) do not have a removable freezer. Thanks

  • Is the frame (Standard or Flush frame) required as part of installing the CRX fridge?

    Hi there, the answer is No. The frame is not required as part of the install. The frame is an option to help with presentation within your cabinetry; it tidies up the fridge perimeter in either a flush style or standard style (fridge door sits out proud). So the frame is just an option. 

    The fridge is fixed to your vehicle typically by the screw holes in the floor and there are side screw holes as well. Thanks.   

     

  • We currently have an old Waeco CR model refrigerator in our camper. How is the performance and offering of the newer CRX models in comparison?

    Hi there, the latest versions of the Dometic Waeco Compressor fridge-freezers are known as the 'CRX' range, which replace the old CR models.  The new CRX range has the same physical dimensions as the previous CR models, but slightly improved performance including;  greater temperature control, reduced noise, and better energy efficiency. More specifically:

    • Custom built Dometic Waeco compressor (Variable speed compressor) replaces Secop (Danfoss) compressor from previous models
    • Improvement in energy consumption (-10% to -30%)
    • Tropical rated:  designed and rated to work up to 43 degrees C
    • Interior Temperature Range:  Freezer -15 °C to -5 °C, Fresh: 3 °C to 12 °C, rapid cooling (without freezer): min. -6 °C ± 2 °C
    Our staff use them in their personal RV's and our customers have provided excellent feedback. We would not hesitate in recommending them. Many thanks. 
  • Are the Waeco CRX Fridges Tropical Rated?

    Hi there, yes is the answer. The Waeco CoolMatic CRX range is classified as having a Climatic Class of 'T'. 

    Fridges graded 'T' (which stands for Tropical) are designed and rated to work up to 43 degrees C. Thanks.

  • Hi, I purchased this fridge from you, just have a quick question I'm regards to the temperature settings, I can't find in the manual what temperature the different settings actually correlate to. Could you enlighten me?Thanks.

    Hi There,

    Dometic advise the following:

    Four temperature ranges from +3 °C (37 °F) to +12 °C (54 °F), and a fast-cooling function, are available for selection

  • I am interested in placing this in my camper trailer. Can this be mounted on a fridge slide and does it come with an anderson plug.thanks

    Hi There,

    Securing the fridge on a slide may be very challenging. They are designed to be installed in a cabinet.

    The connections this fridge comes with are a standard 10A 240V mains plug, and a red and black 12V connection.

  • Hi there. Could you please clarify the mounting options. 2 questions asked by others about this have been answered 'Yes there are 4 mounting holes in the bottom of the fridge'. However in a 3rd question the answer was no, only mounting option was thro

    Hi There,

    The CRX range of fridges are only designed to be mounted by securing the fridge through the sides.

    There are no base mounting options as this would be very unstable.

    An alternate option would be to create a cage, or strap type mechanism that holds the fridge down across the top and sides to prevent movement. This is becoming very commonplace in cannopy installations. 

  • Hi, what is the height of the door itself? My canopy door opening is 623mm high so wondering if this model will fit

    Hi There,

    The total height of the fridge is 640mm.

    We unfortunately do not have the exact door measurment sorry.

  • How many decibels does the fridge put out for the 80l noise wise and is it suitable to put in rear of prado

    Hi There

    Dometic do not provide decibel ratings for any of their fridges sorry.

    With that said, their fridges are designed to be very quiet.

    It could be installed in a Prado provided it is mounted securely.

  • Why does my crx80 freezer go below-20 ° C, yet the fridge compartment only gets to 10° C. Both the compressor and condenser fan runs continuously flattening the battery.

    Hi There

    I would suggest contacting a Dometic Service Agent if you are concerend about your fridge, as the temperature Ranges for the unit are below;

    Freezer: -15 °C to -5 °C, Fresh: 3 °C to 12 °C

    Kind Regards

  • Can I use it as only freezer? Thanks

    Hi There

    Yes you can. The freezer compartment of the CRX80 is completely removable. The coldest temperature this unit will get down to as a full freezer is -8c.

  • Can you please advise the depth or cut out requirement without the door? I only want the door protruding so require this information before making a final decision. Regards Timothy

    Hi Timothy, the depth without the door for this model is 475mm. Thank you

  • Can this CRX model be run as fridge only with the freezer compartment removed?

    Hi Ty, yes freezer compartment of the CRX50, CRX65 and CRX80 can be removed. This means you can choose between having: a fridge, freezer or both at the same time! Thank you.

  • Will this fridge tolerate operating in a semi-closed space? E.g. Mounted to the side wall of the cockipit on a boat.

    Hi, it is advised that there is sufficient ventilation around the refrigerator, especially behind it near the cooling unit. 

    The fridge does not come with mounting brackets. However, there are four screw holes inside the base of the fridge that allows you to fix the fridge to the floor.

    Hope that helps - cheers, Steve

  • The opening in my camper is 530wide x 440deep x 735hi. What do you suggest to attach the crx80 in this space between existing cabinets?

    Hi, on the product page under the main product images there is an Accessories List which includes a Standard Frame and Installation Frame to suit the fitting of the CRX80. Thanks.  

  • Is the price the same for Left Hand hinge? How do I order?

    Hi, the Dometic Waeco CRX range of upright RV fridges come with variable door mounts & hinges, so they can either be left hand hinge, or right hand hinge. They come delivered right hinged as standard, but you can easily change them over to a left hand hinge. So there is no price difference when it comes to hinge side, it is the same unit and you can choose what side hinge you want to use. 

    In terms of placing an order, you can either add it to the shopping cart on the website, and then fill in your delivery and payment details online...or, you can call us on 1300 400 122 and place an order over the phone with our team. Many thanks :)

  • At what voltage will the fridge shut down?

    Hi, The refrigerator can be operated with a 12 V or a 24 V DC voltage supply.  To protect the battery, the refrigerator switches off automatically if the voltage is insufficient:

    12V cut-off voltage:  10.4 Volts

    24V cut-off voltage:  22.8 Volts

  • ** Dometic Troubleshooting Tip ** - Try the fridge on 240 V AC mains power

    If it works normally on 240 v mains power, then the problem is almost certainly with your vehicle wiring, not the fridge.

  • ** Dometic Troubleshooting Tip ** - Is the Fuse In the Cable Blown?

    There is a fuse in the plug of most Dometic fridge cables.  The fuse can be accessed by removing the single screw.  Replace the fuse (with the same rating as original fuse) and reassemble.  This is not a common problem, but it can happen and should be the firwt thing to check.

  • ** Dometic Troubleshooting Tip ** - Have you cut or extended the cable supplied?

    Unless you do this correctly you will prevent your fridge from getting enough voltage to operate correctly.  The cable provided is the minimum thickness required for that length.
