Fixing Cavalier CSS-96G

[Steve R]

Hello all.  I am in need of any info people can share in trying to replace the refrigeration unit in my Cavalier CSS-96G.  It has stopped cooling and I am thinking that it may make sense to try to replace all the parts, as adding more refrigerant did not seem to fix the issue.  Maybe there is a leak or maybe I don't know what I'm doing when adding more.  Figured maybe just buying new components may just make sense so I know they are new.  Only other option I considered was having a company come to my home to service - but after much searching, I've been unable to find a company that does so.

Any assistance in providing a company that does this type of servicing in the Livingston County (Michigan) area or where I can get parts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't think you'll be able to find many (if any) new parts for a cavalier vending machine.  They have been out of business for quite a while now.

You can get the cooling unit repaired or rebuilt.  Try to find a vending repair technician in your area or a vending company that can do refrigeration work.  That and the coin mech and bill acceptor are the only parts you'll be able to replace on that relic.

Thanks for the advice.  I've done so and believe I have someone who will give me a hand.
