Hello all, just found this site and thought I'd ask a few questions about a Vendo 6 Case Vertical machine I bought about 10 years ago. When I bought the machine it worked like a charm, cooled good ,cycled ,everything. However my ignorant self laid the machine down for the trip home. Got home plugged it in and no workey. Only after this did I find out that it is not good to lay anything down that has a compressor. I've also heard that a replacement compressor package will slide in to place(slide out old,slide in new) is this true? If so how much? If not where can I get a compressor (if thats the problem)? Also what other replacement compressors will work(refrigerator/freezer)? Thanks for ANY input on this problem.

Welcome aboard David!
How long was it on it's back?
How long after puting it upright did you plug it in?
How long did you leave it plugged in after this?

It was on it's back for about 45 minutes, when I got it home I immediately plugged it in. I left it plugged in for the rest of the night. Next morning is when I found it not cooling. Very disappointing to say the least.
Thanks for the welcome as well as the info. I appreciate it.
David

Few more questions:
(First, plug it back in)
-Do both fans work? (underneath and next to the compressor)
-Is the compressor running? (you may need to actually feel it, but use a gloved hand since it could be hot) If yes, does it keep running or shut off?
-Have you tried adjusting the thermostat?

Plugged it in just now both fans came on. Compressor doesn't seem to be coming on. It also has oil mist coming from somewhere inside the compressor area. The compressor and lines are very rusty probably a pin hole leak from just sitting. I worked the t-stat back and forth and the bottom fan by the compressor will shut off in the off position on the t-stat. On the deck right above the compressor (the evaporator?) the fan in there feels like it's bearly blowing but I can hear it on.

You need say no more. The oil mist you see indicates your freon escaping.
Remove the unit from the machine, clean as much rust as possible, plug it in again and see if you can find the leak.
I suspect a line may have got punctured or broken in the move. |

If there is a leak in the lines, wouldn't that ruin the system beyond repair? Air and moisture in the lines, etc.
