A good test to find out if the lower fan motor is causing the vibration is to carefully wedge a rag or towel to prevent the fan from moving (with the machine unplugged!!) and then plugging it back in to see if the vibration is still there.  Just don't leave it plugged in with the fan jammed for too long, just long enough to source the vibration.

No vibration = Replace the fan motor
Vibration = Keep lookin!

I would also go out and pick up a case of bottled water and load the machine up.  I usually keep bottled water on the empty shelves.  My USS 8 64 seems to run less often when it is full.

Yeah it seems to be getting fairly cold.  I think tomorrow I will stock it up with bottles and turn it on.  I'll put a thermometer in there to find out how cold it is actually getting down to.  After all that, I'll start working on the t-stat and/or fans.  I really didn't want to have to take anything apart but I'm afraid its going to happen.

If you find out that it is still cooling down to a good temperature it's probably the temp. control. Another thought, is the wiring in good shape going to the temp. control, not shorted out?

It sound like I've got a full day of work ahead of me.  Lots of things to check.

Good luck on your machine, but it isn't as bad as it seems!

So I got back out there and started to test some things to try and sort out my problems with my V90.  It seems like the only way to get it to quiet down was to adjust the t-stat while it was running to a point it kicked off.  I assume this means the thermostat has gone bad.  With that said, whats the best way to go about replacing it?  Anyone have an extra or a suggestion of where to get one?  If you have other thoughts, please feel free to share.

Thanks,

Ryan

go to a local refrigeration store.they usually have higher quality ones. Original ones were usually ranco. They are more expensive than from the dealers, but of higher quality. It should cost you around 50 or so and 20 for the fans at a refrigeration place
