What are you trying to fix now? Cooling?

Yes,only have a cooling issue now as described in post #14. As soon as I get this figured out I'll be smooth sailing.

Thanks

Any ideas on this issue guys?

Thanks

If the motors are not homed and/or the motor switches are not in the proper position it will not allow the machine to accept coins. As vend1ng staes, these motors are in series so when one is out of sorts it effects the whole machine. It is easy to see if the compressor ever shuts off. Take a small piece of paper and out it against the condensor fins. The air being drwan in by the fan should hold the paper against the fins. Come back a couple if hours later and the paper should be on the floor of the machine. If not we will need to diagnose the refer system

Okay guys I'm getting somewhere now. I got the vend motors in the mail today and got them installed and filled the coin tubes up and now all is well on that part. It now accepts dollars and gives change as well as take coins. So one hurdle crossed. The next and probably most important dilemma is the refer system. I'm running it today to see if it will cool the preloaded cans(the ones in the vend bucket) I still think I'm gonna end up with problems in the cooling system though. So If I can at first thank all of you guys that have helped me get this far, and then shift your expertise to helping me sort out the cooling system I'd greatly appreciate it.

100,000,000,000,000.00 THANKS GUYS!!!!!!!!

Today's update is I still have problems. I filled the coin tubes to about 3/4 and the machine still won't take coins or bills. So I still need help figuring that out. I have also come to notice that machine is not chilling the cans down. I adjusted the thermostat, and I can hear the compressor come on. I can also tell that the compressor is not shutting off. It seems to be on whenever I come into the garage, and is not cooling the cans.
Any advice on either topic is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again guys.

If there isn't a mechanical jam (something jammed in the column)Then it might be the motor brake. Just like on the Dixie-Narcos there is brake that stops the motor from free wheeling it needs to be free moving. When someone buys a used pop machine generaly the person before them left pop in the machine it busts from heat or cold spraying inside the machine which jams up the motors. You can either pull the motor apart and clean the mechanism or unplug the machine and clean the motors with diluted ammonia which will disolve old syrup. As for 1 humming and 1 not give me the selection numbers of which. Its possible 1 is in front of the other in a series circuit. Also the motors have internal thermal overloads if they have been humming for awhile they could trip out on overload but should reset themselves. Just a thought.

Thanks for that advice. I did take one of the motors off the vendor and the gearset looks fine and spins freely when the electric motor is removed, When I screw the motor back onto the gear assembly it locks up and won't spin. So you think I can clean something on the electric motor itself?

My next task is figuring out why it won't accept coins or bills. When I put coins in, it bypasses the coin collector and just goes to the change return chute. Does the coin changer need to be full in order for the vendor to accept money? Maybe thats why it won't take a dollar either??

Sorry for all the Q's guys, Just trying to figure this out.

Thanks again
