The Dometic CFX3 Mega Thread

[Drumber]

I just ordered a CFX3 35 from REI using the 20% coupon, my dividend and REI credit card (additional 1% savings). I'll post my thoughts once I get it and load it up.

Congrats on the new fridge, I saw the new CFX3 range at the 2020 Camping Expo in the UK and they are very nice,

Great find and price during REI's sale!

Be sure to post some photos when it arrives. We're looking forward to hearing your initial impressions!

Any updates on when the CFX3 slides/covers will be available?

The current health situation is affecting our production and shipping, so dates are going to be fluid for a while. Our best estimate right now, if things were to improve relatively quickly, is May or June..

Did you ever get yours?

I also used my REI 20% off coupon to order a CFX3 55IM in March. REI still shows backordered. Do we have an idea when they'll be restocked?

Unfortunately, we don't have any insight into how REI inventory looks on this front right now. We'll have another shipment adding stock to our online store late this week/early next, but I'm not sure if there is also some inventory going to retailers like REI.

I just got another update from the team this morning, and we hope to be back in stock for all CFX3 models (except the 45) by this Friday (earliest) or end of the day next Monday (latest). If there is a size you are interested in head to our site and get an order in as they seem to be going very quickly.

Here is a link to the fridge section of our site

Thanks!

I have not, but my card was charged overnight which is usually a sign that they're getting ready to ship. I'm not too worried as it's just going to sit it the garage for the foreseeable future. I mostly put the order in to lock in the coupon pricing.

That bodes well. Sure hope they get mine shipped soon. Nothing charged yet.

Dometic: Please get those orders filled at REI-Thanks! I really don't want to cancel and buy something else. 75DZ on back-order. Eagerly awaiting.

We recently got the following question, and I wanted to share it as well as our feedback.

Is each section of the cooler individually baffled from the compressor so that in fridge/freezer mode one section receives more cooling than the other?

There is one compressor and one controller. There are two evaporator systems, one for each compartment. A solenoid diverts coolant to each compartment depending on the feedback it is getting from the temp sensor in each zone.

Each of zone is controlled. This is different than other types of dual zone fridges where there is one large compartment with a removable divider. With these you can’t easily dictate the temp in each compartment - you can only use trial and error.

Still waiting.......

Darn.

As of 2 weeks ago I can get down the switchbacks to my off-grid cabin so I need this thing!

Since neither Dometic nor REI seem capable of answering any simple questions, I may just cancel, buy an Engel and call it a day.
