Mod # of my machine shows 1USS-96101. What is a USS-12-96? Older or newer? Having trouble finding a service manual.

USS is a bottle/can vendor. It will have a rocker to dispense product. A CSS uses a yoke and only will vend bottles. The 96 refers to amount of product that can be loaded. Best I can tell the 12 means 12oz.
Post a pic and then we can be sure. Cav's are very well built, a manual may not be required. What is it doing or not?
Welcome to the board!!!

Also what is the difference in the mod CS-96 compared to the USS-96?

Thanks Creighton. Makes sense when somebody explains. Just bought the machine and believe there's a short somewhere. Turn on compressor and breaker blows. Keep thermostat off and has power and a fan blows. Posted on the refrig forum and was told overload protector looked burnt.

I could very well be wrong, Josh and others will correct if so but think the CS is a roundtop where CSS is square top.

Not to worry,
Great folks here, problem will get solved. Have you talked to Eric at Global? Ask any and all questions, that is how we all have learned.

I thought the twelve referred to how many shelves the machine had... I have been curious as to what the twelve meant as well.

I'll bet you are right CoolCat. Mine is USS-8-64 with eight shelves.
Thanks!

Guys,
If I'm not mistaken,
CS is the bottle, round corner, forked gate.
CSS is square corner, bottle, forked gate.
USS is square corner, twist knob, bottle or can.
I think that's how it goes.

Although the early model square corner cavaliers were also CS's. Yes the 12 is the number of selections. The USS model machines were made somewhere between 1974 and 1982. Your machine is just a taller USS-64. The manual for the USS-64 is available.

Thanks for all the info. I have a Pro coming out to look at it, as it's blowing the GFI or breaker. The mechanics look rather straight forward, but not as simple as my trusty Vendo-83! I'll leave the refridge unit to the Pro.

Have found no manufacture date stamped anywhere in the machine. Mod # is 1USS-96101, Ser #437066. Refridge unit has a metal plate stamped: CAV-816 6 85 and #584275. Any clues there?

You have narrowed the problem to the wire feeding the compressor or the lower fan motor.
First remove the cover from the compressor and you'll probably find a pinched or bare wire.
Wiring is being discussed in another post, change those wires before you pay a pro to come out and do it for you.

Thanks Glen. The Pro Guy said the compressor is a sealed unit. Not being a HVAC guy I wouldn't know the difference. I'll check it though.

yes, the compressor is a sealed unit. It can be recharged if needed, but not serviced. As far as age goes, its not really that important. A square top is a square top for age concerns. Paint schemes and logos may change through the years, but the 95% of the components are all the same.
