Title: V-39 problem Post by: Sodak Bob on January 25, 2007, 04:10:28 pm I plugged in my v-39 that I recently bought and it is freezing up. I assume the cabinet fan should run all of the time ( and it does), but the compressor does not want to kick out. I have adjusted the control - and even in the off position the compressor runs. Do I have a thermostat problem?? Any ideas??? THANKS

Does it have a wiring harness or is the wiring spliced together?

Do I have a thermostat problem?? Yes, most likely! Title: V-39 problem Post by: cvb141 on January 25, 2007, 07:44:47 pm Unplug it from the wall, and disconnect one wire to the t-stat and isolate it. Then plug it back up and you will now for sure if it was a wiring problem or bad t-stat. More then likely, the t-stat contacts are stuck closed.

Did you buy your machine from a guy in N. CA? I saw a post on ColaMachines concerning your problem, but it looks like it is posted by the seller. Title: V-39 problem Post by: Sodak Bob on January 27, 2007, 07:29:32 pm I am replacing the thermostat.... Thanks
