Best way to replace bottle door handle on VMC/Vendo 90

[drummer86]

Hello:

Just purchased my first soda machine, a Vendolator 90 B-C.

I m looking for the best/easiest method for taking the bottle door apart in order to replace the handle.

Any instructions for a first-time owner would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the Site!

Remove the bottle door from the machine.  You will see probably a security type screw.  It will be a 5/32 clutch head that will be difficult to find separately locally.  Many members have purchased the a security bit set from Harbor Freight Tools.  

After removing the bottle door you will see screws around the bottle door remove all of the screws .  From there it's very easy.  Take a lot of pictures. You will have to remove the metal frame and glass to gain access to the (2) screws that fasten the bottle door handle .

Good Luck!
