The Official Dometic CFX Fridge Feed!

[Dometic]

We'd love it if everyone running one of our fridges could post their setups! We love seeing new and unique setups!

I just purchased the CFX-75DZW. I bought it for the same reasons. I want to have a dedicated freezer area when I want to. Tired of playing the stacking game to try to keep some things frozen and others not. I just end up wasting food.

I just need to get the proper fridge slide and finish my updated platform.

If you still needed a fridge slide head on over to https://shop.dometic.com/store/dometic/en_US/home/ThemeID.4841888200!

while mine is NOT a cfx..... but just a cf. I seem to have read more than once about it being best (generally speaking for all of the mini top load camp fridge actually) to keep them plug up even when not in use. Am I imagining things? Just unboxed mine (blim CF110) and plugged it in shore power. Turned temp up so compressor not on too often. It has been unplugged some time. so far it is cooling down slowly

UPDATE: Put it at its highest temp which is 50F. It is now sitting at 48F 5 hours later when returned home

Pulled the trigger on the cfx50. Very happy so far. Am going to employ a small battery fan as described to better circulate cold air. Currently keeps the beer plenty cold
Wiring into house battery (optima yellow top group 34), supported by 100 watt solar on roof/20 amp controller and split charger rig when engine running.
Will come back with progress and hopefully no issues.

Not have the cfx fridge yet but work in progress.
I Need info on your 12v cable.

Nice build. Question on the box-
- is there any issue with heat and air movement after putting the fridge inside the frame/box? Appears to cover the vents on the sides.

Thanks

So I'm testing out my CFX-40 with my ArkPak and I wasn't able to get more than 16hr or so of use (plugged in via the 12v port). Seems weird. I've tested it with both an 88aH battery and 100aH battery with similar results. When I noticed the fridge was off, I checked the app and it says "Compressor System Faulty." My local service center said they were able to trip that code when they reduced the voltage down below the cutoff - but that doesn't explain why people are running their fridges for DAYS on smaller batteries. Why wouldn't the code indicate it hit the low voltage cutoff vs showing faulty compressor?

Any insight? I should be good for at least two days without issue with my setup. This is super frustrating.

@DometicOutdoors - do you have a list of error codes that you can share and what would cause them?

Which battery protection setting are you on? I think the default is the medium which I believe is designed for a starter battery. Something is definitely up I have gotten almost 30 hours in really good conditions with a goal zero yeti 400 which is only 35ah. When I did that it was set on the lowest battery cutoff.

I have it on low. I have since done a re-test with adding the insulated jacket, prechilling the fridge on AC power, and filling it up about half way. I was able to get over a day (maybe 30hr) without issue. It still seems short given the size of the battery based on what others have written.

Did you chill your fridge? Was it full? Ambient temp?
