Title: Thermostat on Cavalier C-55D Post by: jimstl99 on April 01, 2022, 05:07:20 pm Here is one I can't seem to figure out....
I picked up a Cavalier C-55D recently and have been sprucing it up a bit. Finally plugged it in and it vends properly (with coins) and lights work. Hurrah! However, I don't ever hear the compressor kick on. I thought I would check the thermostat to see if it was turned off but I can't find it. Where is it hidden? I'm baffled. Thanks in advance, Jim Title: Re: Thermostat on Cavalier C-55D Post by: Jim on April 02, 2022, 07:16:27 am Can you locate any electric wires headed toward the evaporator...? One would be for the fan, the other would be a thermostat. There will be other wire(s) for the vending mech as well.

Thanks. jim Title: Re: Thermostat on Cavalier C-55D Post by: johnieG on April 15, 2022, 10:07:47 pm some machines ( like Westinghouse's) had the thermostats control & dial mounted remotely down by the compressor area & only the sensing unit ( sometimes called the"bulb") in the evaporator area or clamped directly to the evaporator or located ina thermostat "well" ( a hollow length of copper tube) to protect the sensing end of the capillary.
