Title: vendo compressor trouble
Post by: Tay on April 14, 2012, 08:41:45 am
still pretty new to this great hobby but i have a question? my vendo machine is holding a correct charge and when plugged it the compressor starts up for about 4 seconds then kicks off then kicks back on after about 90 seconds? i have heard you guys talk about overloads but dont fully understand how they work? or where to get replacement parts? any help is greatly appreciated

The compressor is showing it's age, you can try a 3-in-1 start/run booster & see if that helps, but remember it's a 40+ year old compressor living on borrowed time
