When you call and talk to Janet let her know that you need both fan motors for your Cav 64 and they can set you up.  |

Ok finally discovered more problems,
Now when we plug it in it causes a ground fault just to the outlet, it does not trip the breaker inside.
We isolated the following items,
The thermostat works fine
The evaporator and condensor fans work
There is a new service cord and all wires work
Coils on the compressor work
Started to test the switches
Now we also tried to hook the compressor motor to the outlet with jumper cables (sort of) and we got nothing
I really hope that it isnt the compressor motor but something still is not working.
One last question
What should be the ohm reading on the compressor?
Please if anyone can help, it has been a great experience so far

Where are you located? I may have a spare cooling system if it is dead. It is not the exact system but it will work.
Let someone else chime in to confirm this first but I would try a 3 in 1 starter before declaring the compressor dead.

I think there was something posted awhile back about plugging into a GFI outlet.. Mine seem to work fine, but I believe there was a discussion about not using a gfi outlet..

Most old soda machines have excessive leakage current to ground/earth due to deteriorated wiring insulation both in the wiring harnesses & the internal windings of the compressor motor itself, some machines chug-along just fine until a evaporator circulation motor or condenser cooling fan motor gets wet or damp & "CLICK" , Your compressor seems to have developed a problem, so don't be surprised if your GFI protected outlet trips.
Every compressor has a different Ohms reading for the start vs the run winding, (as measured from the common terminal) but generally speaking, the start winding is typically double the run windings reading, see the attached diagram for an example, hope it helps...

That makes sense . So the first step troubleshooting is try an unprotected outlet.

Ok so once again I the soda machine gods blessed me with a simple fix. When we rewired it, 2 hot wires accidently crossed so that's what caused the ground fault. Lets see how long it takes for something else to happen....  |
