Cav 96 has steady stream of water
firemun:
It does sweat a a greaet deal around both the main door and ther bottle door. It was restored with new gaskets...I just “assumed” the new gasket qualioty was poor and i would not be able to improve on what was done. Maybe I need to rethink that.
johnieG:
New gaskets should have helped, but it's also important to align the bottle door itself to sit & close squarely in it's opening, sometimes the door springs are broken & can't hold it closed snugly. same goes for the main door, if the latch doesn't pull the door closed with enough tension to seat the door frame against its gasket to seal any air-gaps. On machines like the Vendo V110 & 6-case coolers ( and even the venerable V83) with wooden framed door hinges can loosen & cause the door to sag & not sit squarely & tight.
here's a good test, put your ear near the bottle door & listen for the Evaporator fans noise level, now push in on the door handle with your finger, does it get "quieter" ? this is an clue that it's not seated correctly.
firemun:
I physically have to push the bottle door closed or it hangs open. The bottle door glass is always covered in condensate. As for the main door, I have tweaked the latch a bit a few times to get it pulled tighter but I still get condensate around several areas of the door, most prominently near the top corners. It seems the gasket is flattened in some spots. Maybe I should order new gaskets.
Jim:
Sounds like a bottle door spring could be broken OR since you stated someone restored it, perhaps they did not properly "load" each door spring which would increase door pressure on the gasket sealing much better...
firemun:
The bottom of the door doesn't close well. I will take couple pics tomorrow. I have had enough moisture to cause some mold. And yes, someone who you know restored it...
