Thanks for the info . The machine worked great when I purchased it . Know that the unit is cool it will not release bottle . I don't believe that coil is pulling in all the way to release bottle . I haven't been able to find any parts or a place to get parts . If you could help me get this fixed it would be great !!!! :D


You say it won't work when it's cool? I know this is going to sound stupid....but  live in an area where the humidity is very high. In addition to that factor I like my longnecks cold. This combination causes the bottles to freeze on the rack. Could this possibly be what is happening to yours?

The machine cools great ! General condition is better than good but not great . It has a problem with giving up its cargo after one pays for it . Hoping to fix that .blush

No this isn't what is happening but, it would be nice if it was the problem . When the unit is not chilled the coil pulls in to release the bottles , but when unit is up to temp it will not pull in coil . I believe that I might have a open coil and when it is warm or unit isn't cold the coil generates enough heat to close the circuit . I may possibly even have a bad wire doing the same . I thank you for the help . Do you know of any places that I could get parts ? :D

It's very common in my area. Maybe $300 for a clean one. What problems are you having with the dispensing?

Funtronics and others that advertise here. You could just take a liitle nylon zip strap and force the unit in a free pay position!
