Title: Replacing evaporator fan motor in vmc 33
Post by: cccc5151 on May 21, 2014, 09:41:01 pm

Does anyone have advice on how to replace the evaporator fan motor on my pepsi vendolator 33?  I am not sure how to get to the motor as it is surrounded by a tube.   It looks like I have to remove the drum.   Is this correct or is there another way to get to the motor. Thanks

       Don't remove the drum, the compressor and evaporator were made to be removed easily for this kind of service.

Thanks, I know the compressor fan motor is easy to get to but the evaporator fan motor looks like I need to remove the drum and cross bar support. See picture.  Am I missing something?

First remove the line cover.
Then there should be just a few screws holding the evaporator to the tub
and finally a bolt or two holding the compressor assembly.
Whole thing slides out.

For just the evap motor, you could probably gain acces by just remove the line cover and evap screws.
