It's time now to play: "name those parts"!

Announcer:
Ladies and gentlemen, thanks so much for tuning in. I hope you are all ready for the game that is taking America by storm, let's play: "Name Those Parts"!

Game Show Host:
That's right. What we have today is random parts found within Markito's Vendo 216MD. So let's not waste any time and get right to it... oh, I should mention that the prizes our contestants are playing for include Markito's deep admiration, a year's supply of Turtle Wax, Rice-a-roni (the San Francisco treat) and our home game.

O.k., here we go. All photos will be placed on the board and then you have the chance to name and give as much information as possible with each corresponding letter.

Good luck and get ready with those buzzers...

Host:
Now for the next item, Markito thinks that the long metal items in the chutes are spacers for converting the chutes from holding bottles into cans. And the wooden dowels are merely there to hold the spacer in place. Is he right?

And if so, he assumes that he can't fill the chutes past the top of the spacers, or else the cans would get stuck. Correct?

Host:
And finally, for the Visual Daily Double, please explain what these mysterious hooks at the top of the chutes are for...

Um... was it something I said? '>
I thought this would be fun as well as helpful.

Word of advice would be to look for a manual for your machine. See if they have one available on this web site. Otherwise, H looks like the hooks where the spacers hang on.

A: Holder for Condensate Pads

D: Condensate pads that go into ...

F: Condensate Pan

E: probably a Bottle shelf slider spring OR a master link spring for the bottle gate itself.

B: Cover for something electrical

C: can't tell how thick they are, but either a bottle shelf slider OR a Door stop, or something like it....

Home-made can spacers, the dowel rod ids to keep the thing from collapsing, & yes the cans will fall backwards if stacked above the little buggers''' the rack/notches where for the original bottle spacers for the machine, move the cheapy "can" spacers & you see their "mate" on the bottom of the stacks.  :'>

johnieG,
Thanks so much for the great info. I think you win the Rice-a-roni by the way. '>

As we all know, I am new to this, so could you please explain the whole "condensate pan, condensate pads & holder" thing?

Here's my (uneducated) guess:

1) A condensate pan is the same thing as the drip pans I've heard of around here. It's called a condensate pan because after any condensation in the refrigeration area forms, it drips down the hole, through the tube to this pan.

2) The pan is semi-shallow and long so that any water that ends up in it can eventually evaporate.

3) The holder somehow lays in the pan (please tell me/show me how) with the condensate pads. The pads are there to wick water up out of the pan and make evaporation quicker and easier?


Is any or all of this right?
How many pads should be in the holder/pan at a time?
Have a pic of how they are held in the pan with the holder?
As you can see from the first photo, my pan has a couple tab-like things on the side. Is it supposed to hook on somewhere?
What's best for me to start using: my old pan or a glass mason jar?

Thanks so much.

Mark,

F - will hang onto the cabinet louvers or a bracket on the condensing unit plate. It's usually located on the side where the condensate drip tube/line is located
A - sits inside of F in an upright fashioin so the wafers will stand upright, just squeeze it so it fits into the tray.
D - stand vertical in A allowing air to pass through and assist in evaporating the water in the tray.

The stainless holder is capable of holding 8 wafers which is available in reproduction as are the wafers. So is the pan come to think of it...

Thanks Jim.

I forgot to include another (attached) part.

Am I supposed to put a fuse or tiny lightbulb in this?

See the photo below.
Thanks.
