dccd Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Hello, my DN - 169 Dr Pepper machine will make a noise and stop and do it again and again every 30 seconds or so. Is it the compressor? Nothing is cold, fan works still (I replaced it a couple months ago). I have had it unplugged since it started doing this. Any help is always appreciated!

allen watson Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Compressor is stuck. I had one do that. I hit it pretty hard with a 2x4 on the big round part and it started working again only to quit a few weeks later. I replaced the unit and put the bad one on the bench to play with. I found that if I dropped it from about 3' off the ground it would work for 2 days but if I whacked it with a board it would work for 3 days. Lol. Still sitting on my bench 1 year later.

dccd Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Located in New Mexico. Thought there is some sort of site I could just order from. Do I need the complete deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of things to check. Make sure the vendor is at least 4" away from wall and condenser is clean. It could be getting hot and kicking off on the overload. Also make sure it isn't plugged into a light 18 gauge or long extension cord. Both will cause it to run on low voltage and do the samething.

KychrisKy Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Hit the compressor if that doesn't work out put hard start on it but that will only buy you some time to look for a another compressor deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHX1 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I have had compressors do this, I think as KychrisKy said the hard start fixed it. Rarely actually have to replace a compressor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
