Compressor problems with vendo 144

Eric,

  A dryer is exactly that, a dryer. It's an in-line filter that is filled with a silica media to absorb any left over moisture from breaking the system. It's always a good idea to change this when a repair, to the system, is preformed. As far as a fair price to have someone do the repair, you will find as many different prices as there are repair techs. Between $100-200 should be about right. Remember the old saying, "you get what you pay for". Don't go with the cheapest price at Bubba's refrigerator depot. It may cost you more in the long run. Find someone who is experienced in soda machines and understands how the system works.

I'm still not clear on the freezing coil thing. Have you reinstalled the unit back in the box? Don't call a service man just because the coil is iceing out of the box. You need to have it back together and running to trouble shoot the problem. Re-read your first post. Was the unit working before you pulled it out? If so, put it back in and forget about it.
ALL units freeze when left running out of their enviroment, unless it's low on freon, then you might get nothing or just a hint of frost at the cap tube.
