Vendo 110 / new wiring harness / diagram needed

[Vendo Guy]

Does anyone have a diagram for the wiring harness for a Vendo 110??  I purchased the harness, but it did not come with a diagram.  My major concern area is the junction box for the compressor...lots of terminals to choose from!!

Does 120v flow thru all the wires of the harness??  (i.e. the wire on the harness that runs to the thermostat??)

Also...any tips on connections to check voltage / amps to insure correct wiring would be appreciated!!

Thanks,
SW

Who sold you a wiring harness without directions...?

Is there a tag on the refrigeration unit? If so, what model is it...?  VK-1, VK-7, VT-1, VT-7, VT-17...  Or something else...

Perhaps you could take a photo and post it so we can see the refrigeration unit...

This way we'll be able to assist you better should you have something other than what I've listed...

I could give you a generic schematic but prefer to see what you have before I go that route.

Here is a picture....

I could not find a model number...where is it usually located??

If you look at the junction box on the compressor, there are only two terminals you need, they have screws, one on top and one below. Your lower fan motor attatches to these. Also add a two prong plug onto wire long enough to reach your terminal block location, and attatch to the same two terminals. (an old black appliance cord works well here)
       So this plugs into the new block, the power cord leads to the wall, and the only other wire on the block comes off the side and is to be used only for the thermostat. When the thermosat is cold enought it switches off, and cuts power to the compressor and fan.
        You will need constant power for the upper fan motor and door light. Two terminals are provided for these inside the terminal block.

Perhaps this will shed a little light on the subject...
Remember, this is generic and I didn't have one of the after-market terminal blocks to reference.
I'm also not sure but I didn't see a door switch for the evaporator fan so this isn't on the schematic but easy to wire to should you need it... This also applies to a light switch...

Thanks for the info!!!  I'm going to attempt to dig into it this weekend.  I'm sure I'll be coming up with more questions....

Also note that the light switch is a "push to start" type         ( there is no F2 starter (little silver can) on the earlier models)
you push & hold it till the tube glows then release it just an FYI '>

I pulled the entire refrigeration unit out last night.  In comparing it to my restored V110, it looks like I am missing the Condensor Fan and bracket (see picture above)....am I correct??  If I do, is Funtronics the best place to buy them from??  Which part numbers do I need??

Also, I tested the Evaporator Fan directly and it works fine.  But when connected thru the wiring harness, it would not turn on....could it have anything to do with the thermostat??  (How does the thermostat work...isn't it basically a switch??  Can I wire nut the two wires going into the thermostat to each other?? (Would that bypass the thermostat??)....will that let me determine if the thermostat is bad??)

Thanks Again,
Shawn

I NEED SOME MORE HELP!!!

I am attaching a picture of the junction wiring box on my Vendo 110 compressor.  I know that I need to connect both the Compressor power cable and the Condensor Fan power cable to it.....but I am not 100% sure of WHERE to make those connections.  

Also, I am not sure if anyone can look at the picture and let me know if there are any wires/connections missing.

Thanks,
Shawn
