Vendo V345M-193 Questions

[hubbell23]

Hello, I am new to this forum and a new owner of a soda vending machine. I was hoping for some advice on a few questions relating to my particular machine. I have not been able to find much information yet.

1. When I first plugged it into test, it seemed to cool just fine. Then, after I moved it to its final resting place, it is not cooling like it was. Neither the compressor or condenser fan are running. I am struggling to tell if it is the compressor, starter relay or overload protection unit. Any tips on how to test the continuity and resistance and what readings I should be getting?

On the compressor: common to start is about 11.xx ohms. Common to run is about 2.7 ohms. And start to run is about 13.8 ohms. Is this normal?

2. I can not find where the temperature control knob is located. I have learned that it should be near the evaporator coil but I can't find anything that resembles a temperature knob or screw.


Any help figuring out these couple of issues is much appreciated.
 
Thanks
