I don't know if this is the best forum to ask this under, but how can I prevent condensation from building up between the glass on my bottle door?

Hello

I think in the hot summer there is nothing you can do. When a cold surface meets meets hot/humid air you get condensation.  I guess we can wat until winter time.

Is the machine inside?  Do you have a small hole on the inside piece(s) of glass (not  on the outside)?

Is it just this way in the summer? (If not, it may be your gasket)
Is it hot or humid in your house?

I just got it back a few months ago from being redone, so I will have to wait and see if it does it in the non-summer months. I don't think it is unusually humid in the house. A/C is on and fan is running. Maybe it is just because it is summer.

You may also check the temperature inside the box. If it's below 35 degree, try warming it up a bit. In the vending world, I tell all of my customers to run their machines around 38 - 42 degrees. This way it cuts back on condensation, less wear and tear on the compressor, and it used less electricty. Also, to help maintain a more even, constant temperature, make sure that the box is always full of product. The drinks inside will have a longer lasting effect in holding temperatures steady, less compressor cycling.

Thanks. I'll try that. Right now it is sitting at about 32 degrees. I am not sure how often it "kicks on". Maybe every 15 min. or so?

Yes Eric is right, adjust it to 38 - 42 degrees and it will fix your problem,  it fixed mine anyways!  I was having the same problem w/ my VF-56 I resealed the glass to the gasket and turned up the the thermo. to 38 degress and now I don't have any condensation, and if I do have some its very little...
