hi, went to fill machine, got there and the soda door was stuck open. warm air was blowing out. i didn't have time to investigate. i unpligged unit for about 5 minutes. plugged back in , i heard compressor turn on then kicked off after.
1) should i check for ice build up
2) fans are working. it was blowing hot air and temp was 78degrees!
3) do i check compressor?
4) maybe temperature sensor board?
i have a few of these crane/national combos. they are pretty reliable. only recall 1 problem with the newer combo was that i had to replace the temperature sensor probe. also had to replace ome micro switch on the soda selection doors.
any help or clues would be great thanks gary

It won't blow hot air if there is any ice build up. Did you hear compressor come on or the condenser fan? Does the condenser fan run? when you unplug it and plug it back in was there a 3 min delay before compressor came on? If you checked machine for temp and it was 78 then compressor isn't working, Temperature sensor board is working. Check air flow? Just a thought.

I have a 462 that did the same thing.Turned out the location stuck some signs behind the machine that blocked the back of the machine,once I moved them the temp went back down.
