Thanks guys.
I am just about positive it is for a fuse. I bought a threaded twist type fuse holder cap at Radio Shack tonight, but it is too large for the threaded hole.
Here's an establishing shot for you Jim:

Mark,
Have you traced the wires to locate where they terminate...?
There's no plate on the door liner that aligns with this is there...?
Did you say you acquired a manual for this model...?
If so, I'm sure you may have looked to identify this in the electrical schematic.
If you don't have a manual, I'll look and see if I have one... I don't think I do; I think I have the V-144 model...

Thanks Jim.
I'll look into the wiring.
No plate on the door, I don't think it is a switch or bulb holder.
I really think it is for a fuse.
I actually have ordered a copy of the V-216MD manual, but it hasn't arrived yet.
Thanks,

remove the solenoid & take a picture to post, this will help us idendify it better & hopefully find a replacement, Vendo is pretty good about interchangability of components between their model lines...

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

Thanks.
Here is a pic of it not removed yet. That is the solenoid, right?

Well, I called Steve Ebner at Funtronics (my first time) and he couldn't have been more wonderful.
I told him about the solenoid and though he doesn't own a Vendo 216MD machine, he said he thought that though Vendo no longer has solenoid replacements, a (#97a)replacement Cavalier solenoid would probably work.
So I ordered one plus his catalog and he even made me a copper condensate "nipple". What a great guy.
Well, sure enough, it was a perfect modern twin of my old burnt out solenoid!
I switched them out and now my final bottle chute works!
Here are two pics of the good, the bad (which is also the ugly):
