Magiccity726 Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 The tray at the bottom of machine filled up with water. The sponges looked really old. Would old sponges cause this? Also, part of the flap where the sodas come out of is broken but it has been broken for a couple years and it never leaked before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 The broken flap is allowing extra heat and moisture into the cabinet, and in the summer heat that has probably overwhelmed the capacity for evaporation to keep up. If you check your product it is probably sweating. You might have worn out the compressor and are having issues with it as well. The sponges allow water in the evap tray to wick up and evaporate faster, if they are submerged they won't do any good, but that's not your problem as far as I can see. Fix the flap and check for other air leaks (condensation around the inner door seals). I sometimes replace or add to the sponges with dollar store sponges; cut notches in 2 or 3 sponges to join them on edge at an angle with space between them and set them in the tray sticking up above the edge. Probably not as good a the factory sponges but it works... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZVendor Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 If you don't have ice on the evaporator but still have some frost, then the freon is probably fine. At the least - put a new delivery door on it. They cannot be broken or warped without causing problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvending Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 If the tray is full of water, you need to clean out the drain tube leading to the collection pan on the floor of machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I think the drain pan is what he said was full of water since he mentioned the sponges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
