  1. You went about this all the wrong way. You might have had low freon in your old unit, or it had a bad evaporator fan or fan wiring, or your door doesn't seal and air leaks in which could still be the problem. Make sure the machine is level so the door can seal correctly but check that seal too. Check the manual for a defrost cycle. If it has one (I never worked on that model of National machine) then yours might be set up wrong or you have a bad defrost element. Your cooling deck might also not be sealed correctly or it's installed wrong. Keep the machine away from the wall and make sure the vend screen underneath is kept clean.
  2. Nothing wrong or illegal with that at all. Just don't do laundry products or anything that smells in it. No scented deodorant, soap or ladies products. I also wouldn't give up on the snacks selling unless you already know the hotel would be competing with you. You'll need hasps and padlocks on it to prevent breakins. I also wouldn't do the snacks if I couldn't do the soda. Soda is where the money is. Try merchavend.com for sundry products.
  3. Just stick to the mainstream flavors and they will sell. Just remember that the teacher's lounge is the worst place to put it and you're putting a 10 or 12 selection machine in there. That's where a lot of machines go to die. Teachers aren't paid well and bring their food and beverages from home. That's one location I always regretted doing. I would do them only when we got all the machines that the kids used too, otherwise no bueno. But you're new to the business and you need to learn this all yourself.
  4. Let's see.... let me find a machine designed for 12 oz cans and 20 oz soda bottles and then see what oddball, non-conventional products I can cram into it.....
  5. That doesn't sound very good buy I can only hear a noisy fan running, not the compressor. It definitely needs to be away from the wall so you may have cooked the compressor. Turn the machine off for now so it can cool down. When you return then see if the compressor runs. If the condenser fan is noisy then you need to replace it. If the compressor won't start but the condenser fan does then your problem is in the compressor or it's wiring. Both should run at the same time.
  6. Post them here first so you know if it's a decent deal or not. Test with coins and bills and make sure you can change a price in it.
  7. Yeah, I forgot the BA30 could do that. It was the only one that could.
  8. That machine wouldn't be capable of running a 110v bill acceptor so you must be mistaken. And please remove your advertisement from your posts.
  9. Isn't it supposed to do that? When the user closes the claw and misses, shouldn't the claw go back to home and open for the next attempt? Or are you saying that the claw closes on it's own as it's going down to the products? I don't work on these but your description sounds normal to me unless you left something out.
  10. Junk the Seaga. They have an odd way that the temp sensor reports to the logic board and it can be problematic. All Seagas are junk. Both of the Bevmaxes have temp controls. They are located on top of the power supply inside the coinage door. They use a capillary tube that terminates in a coil that is clipped to the front of the evaporator. The 5591 might have the end of the capillary tube pushed into the fins of the evaporator. The 2451 needs to have the aftermarket thermostat removed and a correct one installed and then replace the bad fan. On the 5591 I don't know what you mean by "condenser kicks on." If you mean the condensing fan comes on but the machine doesn't cool then the compressor is bad or if the compressor also runs then it's low on freon. Due to your lack of understanding of vending machines you need to have an experienced vending tech look at them.
  11. You need a 4 wheel tilt back dolly like a Dutro. An appliance dolly will require some help.
  12. Yes, if the part is still available from Dixie. It's possible that they won't be since this is a Coke door but you can try.
  13. Special order from D&S or Vendors Exchange.
