Title: That can't be good Post by: kev_7680 on May 22, 2015, 12:49:01 pm I have a coke vendo 39 that I replaced the thermo about a month ago. Everything was working great up until yesterday. I went to get a coke out of the machine and when I opened the door a gush of warm air came out of the door. I opened it up and it was circulating warm air not cold. I unplugged it and let everything go back to room temp, then I plugged it back in and turned the thermo back on. The compressor felt and sounded like it came on and the compressor fan was running. I don't see any liquid coming out of it. It is the original compressor. I cant see it being the Freon since it was cold 2 days ago....Any clue what has happened and what I need to do...p.s I live in Toronto Canada so I know I cant get anymore Freon to top it up...thanks kevin :hopefull: :hopefull: :hopefull: :hopefull: :hopefull: :hopefull: :hopefull: :hopefull: :hopefull:
Title: Re: That can't be good Post by: SIGNGUY on May 22, 2015, 03:24:53 pm Most likely you have moisture in the cap tube that when it's getting cold that moisture is freezing up the cap tube.. so Freon can't flow , but the unit thinks it still needs to run and will stay on trying to pump that Freon through there.. but it can't.
you'll most likely have to get a dryer installed on the line and have it checked out by a service tech. sorry can't help you out much more than that! Title: Re: That can't be good Post by: kev_7680 on May 22, 2015, 03:44:05 pm I unplugged it for the night and plugged it back in today and now it's cycling like it should and everything is cold again...should I let it go and see if it does it again??

The ice melted overnight and although it may take a while, it will probably form again. Title: Re: That can't be good Post by: kev_7680 on May 22, 2015, 05:57:15 pm ok I have unplugged it. When you say have a service tech check it out do you mean a fridge repair man?

Perhaps you've wired the thermostat in backwards...reverse the wires & try again. :tounge: Title: Re: That can't be good Post by: davethebirdman on May 23, 2015, 05:33:32 am Hey JohnieG nice to see you posting... Title: Re: That can't be good Post by: MoonDawg on May 23, 2015, 09:03:10 am I didn't even know a thermostat could be installed backwards. Thanks Johnie....
Title: Re: That can't be good Post by: kev_7680 on May 23, 2015, 09:36:13 am It's not thermo worked cold for 3 weeks. Unplugged works again. I'm thinking it's what the others said frozen moisture . When you say get tech do you mean freezer repair guy?
