Coke machine not working???

[coop6008]

I was given this coke machine and every time I plug it in it throws a breaker in my homes fuse box. Can anyone help?

Trace all wire harnesses for brittle insulation and possible shorts.

I'll check the wiring and see what I find. Thanks for the advice.

where are you located?

One thing to try is to turn the thermostat to the off position, then try plugging it in.  This can isolate a few different circuits, specifically the compressor and lower fan unit.

I'll try these suggestions this weekend and hopefully I can fix it. Thanks for everyones input. I am located in Florence, Ms. About 10 minutes south of Jackson.

was it working before? ( or did it ever work would be the better question) as suggested, you can trun the thermostat to the off position ( fully anti-clockwise/left) or some compressors have a plug on a what looks like a short little extension cord that plugs into the main wiring harness socket, you can also just unplug it at that point to help isolate the trouble, also if that doesn't work, you can unplug the coinmech too. next I'd disconnect the light-up sign's harness ( a bad ballast will cause lots of trouble)

I was wondering is you circuit breaker for that plug a standard 15/20 amp type or is it a GFI type?
