I looked on the MEI site and didn't see one for the 6200. I see one general one for the TRC series, but in the manual they only mention the 6000/6010, 6510, 6512, and 6800.

I didn't seen to be getting voltage between socket 7 and socket 2 with the free vend on or off, though the little "Have a Coke" light on the front lights up when the free vend switch is tapped. I did discover that I seem to be getting 120 volts between socket 2 and the chassis though. I don't think that should be that way?

I unplugged the machine and tested and I have continuity between sockets 1 & 2. Is that right?

Sounds like a short to the cabinet. With no power applied check every inch of the wiring. First any bits touching the shell. Will get this sorted. Just takes longer sometimes.

If only I'd discovered this problem when the weather was lousy out and I didn't have tons of yard work to do... Hopefully I'll have time this weekend.

So, I'm really getting perplexed. I've been tracing the wires and I can't seem to find a short between the hot and the case. Doing some more tests with the meter. When the unit is plugged in, I get 120V between the case and the #2 socket of the Jones socket. I also get 120V between between#1 and #3. I get no voltage between #2 and #3, so I assume there is no short with the Neutral, Its with the case. BUT!!!, with the unit unplugged, I get no continuity between the case and #1. I do get continuity between the case and the ground prong on the plug, but not with either blade (Hot or Neutral) on the plug. Any thoughts?? My only guess is there is a short from the secondary side of a transformer? I'm not any kind of electrical expert so I'm looking for other explanations for this combination of readings?

Trying my best to understand, so bear with me. First step is to make sure you aren't in a vend cycle, so try to vend product, put a bottle in a row and turn the lever to vend. That will reset back to 'ready to accept coins' status. Test continuity between pins 1 & 6, it should be a closed circuit.
If you want to try a little further, use the free play switch to engage the solenoid, but don't vend. Check the continuity between 1 & 6 again, it should be an open circuit.
Problem that I'm trying to isolate is the carrier switch at the base of the vending stack, a common problem that the free vend switch won't necessarily troubleshoot.

I assume I should take those readings with the unit plugged in, power on?

Actually it doesn't need to be powered on, just make sure you are not in a vend cycle, the switch works regardless of being powered.
