I think he is telling you to check if the fan is spinning in your machine...  Hence if its not then you wont get cold air coming into the machine.....

Yes.  There is a fan inside (where the cans are) that is on all the time.  There is also a fan by the compressor that turns on only when the compressor kicks on.

Oh, you are the one with the Rock-Ola.  I'm not sure if anyone here has a Rock-Ola machine (some of us have Rock-Ola jukeboxes though ':p' ).  What is behind the can holders that you are trying to get to?  I know on my Westinghouse push button machine you have to take the whole vending rack out, but there is also not anything behind it.  
Have you tried the sponsors here for a manual?  I know that Victory Glass bought out all of Rock-Ola's jukebox parts a few years ago.  Maybe call them too to see if they may have a manual.

How do you access the rear of the machine ? with great difficulty my friend..

I don't know about all machines, but to access the fan/coils on my squaretop you have to first remove the can chute (metal tray that cans drop onto and out of the machine), which then gives you access to remove the vend solenoids.

With the vend soloids removed you can unscrew and remove the can rack, which pulls straight out but is rather heavy (and a pain in the neck to get back in again !).

Once you remove the can rack you have to unscrew a couple of metal guards that hide the coils and fan.

Finally with the guards removed you have access to the fan.  If you unbolt the compressor plate at the bottom of your machine (usually 4 large bolts) then the whole assembly top and bottom will slide right out for you to get a closer look at everything (though you'll probably want a hand with this part as it's not exactly light !).

These two pics show the complete vending assembly on mine, and also what you see with the whole assembly removed.

You can't actually see the fan because it's hidden behind the coils.

These two show the empty shell and the cooling system itself after removal from the machine.
