Title: Vendo 110 Freezing Compressor Post by: genudoc on July 06, 2017, 05:20:17 pm This is a very famous machine.
This is the 110 that i fought to get back from our friend in NC Any advice on how to fix this. I do see some gasket is missing from the door of the machine and will replace and see if that helps Title: Re: Vendo 110 Freezing Compressor Post by: Slapshot42 on July 06, 2017, 05:23:20 pm Make sure the evaporator fan is working if it's not working it can't circulate cold air in the compartment ..

Talking about the fan under the bottle compartment Or is there a fan elsewhere I see no fan unless those coke polars stole it Is it in the unit freezing up ? Title: Re: Vendo 110 Freezing Compressor Post by: 88fordman on July 08, 2017, 07:56:36 am Ok, so I have had the same issue with my 110? What I did to get by is wire the fan so it runs all the time, and then I have the compressor on a plug in timer so it will run for 1/2 hour and shut off for 1 hour. The temp stays a nice 40-45 degrees and now I never have to shut it down to defrost.
I do have to empty the tray for the water drain every week, but I am usually filling it with cans anyway? Good luck Title: Re: Vendo 110 Freezing Compressor Post by: johnieG on July 08, 2017, 09:03:37 am Ok , i am sure this is a stupid question but are u Talking about the fan under the bottle compartment Or is there a fan elsewhere I see no fan unless those coke polars stole it Is it in the unit freezing up ? Yes, The evaporators fan is located in the back of the coils ( the block of ice shown in your case :tounge: ) It's between the back wall & the coils, it has to have one, or if not then it has been removed for some stupid reason. I'd suggest defrosting the poor thong & have a look-see. You'll have to get ambitious & remove the bottom shelf too.

Good luck OKaaaaaay..... you do know that the evaporator fan's supposed to run continuously on these old machines regardless right? So maybe you should fix your wiring problem first before applying too much By-pass engineering to the situation. :biggrin: |
