Hello

Can you post a picture of your machine?

First I would try plugging the compressor directly in with an extension cord. Let it run for a few minutes & then check the upper coil for frosting. If this works then you have an electrical problem if this does not work ( compressor not running) you most likely have refrigeration issues.

Well, if the compressor started up OK with the extention cord, the good news is that you won't need a 3-in-1 starter/booster! the bad news is that somethings not allowing the compressor to start normally (when it's pluged into its power socket on the wiring harness) I'd start by unpluging the machine, remove the wires from the Thermostat & connect them together temporarily with a jumper wire & electrical tape. then plug the compressor back into the socket down below (on the wiring harness, that is) & plug the machine in...now if the compressor comes to lif, then it's simply a bad thermostat, if not , you'll have to start digging a little deeper into the wiring harness...we'll start here & see where it gets you...here's a basic wiring diagram of what you're working on...hope it helps

Hey

If it worked on the extension cord. Go to Soda Jerk & buy a new wiring harness.

You might have a vendo h126b ??? Usually the wiring harness will do the trick,those machines are pretty much bulletproof. I have two and they work great after cleaning and new fans,wiring harness.
