In Topic: Antares Price stickers/decals, etc

Hi Steve,
I did the same in WPB, FL, and had same issue. I ended up getting a small hand held lable machine (P-touch Home & Hobby) and made my own price stickers after a long and uneventful search. Of course I can't mark where the change goes in with little arrows, but every one seems to have figured it out! I found both small & large soda lables on Ebay (bilservices doesn't charge you up on shipping!) and they have some snacks listings.
Good luck! Teddie

Teddie,
I assume that ice is building up and not just a frost?

Either your system is getting low on freon or your system is just working too hard (probably the later or a combination of the two). As far as I know none of the Anteras machines are built with refrigerated snack machines, so this is most likely a modification. Make sure that the thermostat is not set on the coldest setting (it most likley is if they were trying to cool snacks). Tape will do good to cover the holes, but they need to be insulated. Maybe cut a plug of foam to put behind the tape or get a can of great stuff from lowes and give it a squirt of that.

FYI..... I ussually pay $60-80 to have someone come out and add freon to a machine depending on how much it takes.

JD-
Oh yeah, big blocks of ice. Took me a couple of hours to get it all out. (Is there an easy way to get to the back of the machine or are the soda holders permanently attached?)

I bet it is a combo problem. I had Eric suggest a few things, and I have tried those. i.e. seal and leveling issues. Do I just assume that I need freon or is there a way to tell? The soda compartment is really cold, so I don't know if that means any thing! I'm pretty handy for a girl, but that motor compartment is way over my head! lol.
Thanks for responding!
Teddie
