Ok I'm breaking down my Secectivend A9 and I came
across some wire that came out of the wiring harnes
and ran up inside the cabinet and all around the opening
of the main door.
I've never seen this before. Any ideal's ??
Thanks
Pat

Maybe it is standard wiring for the machine in case an optional lighted sign or something was to be mounted to the top of the machine or something like that.
You got me? '>

I would think that it is a mullion heater.

I'll through in my 6 cents(six sense)...
Although I cannot confirm this and this is in conjunction with Glen's statement| Quote | | I have found this wire surrounding the selecton window of the main door |
I think these strips are installed on machines in cold climates to keep from freezing the doors. These seem to be located in areas of the machine that are prone to condensation which will freeze in colder climates. This could prevent a paying customer from retrieving their drink...
On older machines, you may have seen a flat resister mounted behind or on the coin mech to keep from freezing up. I'm assuming this is a similar principal...

An insulated wire wouldn't transfer any heat - would it?
I looked up mullion in the dictionary and a mullion is a divider of some sort on window panes. What it might have to do with a vending machine, I can't figure out.
If there was a mounting bracket on top, I will stick with my first guess. Unless you want to put a light of something on top, I would leave it off.
