I have a Canada dry dr pepper unit bottles on the side MFG BY S-V CO Model 3A The unit goes on and the machine gets cold for a few minutes and you hear a clicking noise back and forth then eventually gets hot. Does anyone no whats going on with it. Do you think it could be the thermostat if thats it where can I get one.

Thanks Bob

I've got the big brother to your machine, (An S-V co. model 4a Dr Pepper) and sounds to me your low on your freon charge, and it's causing the over temp/current breaker to trip (click) on & off as the compressor stuggles to keep itself and the cabinet cold, best have the pressure checked before you fry the windings ??? also make sure the condensor fans still running, that'll overheat the compressor too. let us know how it goes!...JohnieG
