Title: Coke leaked inside vendo 63....help!
Post by: on January 27, 2003, 04:20:41 pm
You guys will probably get a kick out of this one.  Anyway, been bottling my own Coke and Diet Coke for a while using 8 oz bottles.  Anyway I tried using a couple wider mouth root beer bottles the other day.  I thought the cap fit okay over them still but apparenly not as one of the bottles leaked about half its content below.

I don't see any coke remnants near the evaporator at all it looks like it drained down below mostly to the pan near the compressor.  

The machines still works however, when i went to touch the key to open the door this morning I got a nice little electric jolt!!!

I emptied the pan and don't see any puddles or anything near the compressor but I have to think something in the machine that's electrical is either still wet or fried.  I obviously have the machine off right now.

Any thoughts or solutions to this?  Thanks in advance.

sound's like the evaporator motor got soaked & is still damp inside, pull the evap. coil out & check your fan motor.
