I am re-wiring an old Cavalier Pepsi machine and need advice.  There is some sort of sealed junction piece that the power supply feeds into along with supply to coils, compressor and aux. controls as well as a ground.  Since I can't see inside this sealed thing (which is broken) I'm not sure how it all hooks up.  I sure don't want to hook it up wrong.  If you have some time, I could use the help.

Here's a wiring diagram from the manual...
It doesn't seem to reference the refrigeration unit though...?

If you have problems viewing this because our system limits dimensions, just right-click and view image to see it slightly larger. You can print it if necessary too.

Thanks for the info.  I actually have that same diagram on the inside of the front door of the machine but it is just for the lights and stuff.  If you find anything else or can point me in the right direction, I certainly would appreciate it.  You're really nice to help us green beans out!

Hi "Pepsimom" what you're looking at is the main wiring Harnesse's molded plastic junction-block. The attached sketch
shows how the wiring is done inside the junction-block, you can replace the damaged unit with a weather proof metal single-gang type box from the electical department at your local hardware outlet, I use a heavy-duty outdoor extension cord for the power cord into the machine,(after cutting off the female end) and a single outlet for the compressors plug.
some wire-nuts,& an angle bracket for mounting it to the deck-plate, you'll also need some strain reliefs/clamps for the wires going into and out of the new box.(so wires don't get yanked-out.) it's not to hard to wire up if you're handy with wirirng, or you can buy a replacement harness for a V56 from any of the suppliers listed in this site. hope this helps...

Thank you soooo much!  I had already bought a plain junction box and was just waiting to find out what hooked up to what.  You have solved my problem.  I really appreciate all of the help I've rec'd on this site. Yall are ACES! '<img'>

My machine has 2 cords coming from the top (cold) sections.  One looks like it comes from the fan and is the plug that goes to the compressor.  The other comes from the thermostat.  What does this last wire hook up to? ':p'

do you mean the cord (with two wires) that comes from the thermostat?, the fan-motor, or the vending relay?( I assumed it was a manual-crank machine)the cord that comes from the thermostat is wired just like a wall switch & lightbulb in a house the "switch" (thermostat) turns the "light" (compressor) on & off. the cord that come from the evaporator fan (cold side) is wired in Parallel with the incoming line cord just like the diagram above. which is for a manual-vend machine, got a picture of the bugger?

It is manual.  It has the long, thin, glass vertical door which you open and pull out the bottle you want.  I have hooked the wires coming from the thermostat back up to the black and white on the main power supply.  The 2 wires coming from the fan were hooked back up to a new cord to plug into the compressor.  Does that sound right?  

I wish I could just send you a photo of all of this but my desktop is in the shop.  If you need the photo, let me know and I will send that as soon as I get the big daddy back from the techs.
