I just bought this soda machine but really dont know dick about it. I just need to know a few things. One does the machine run all day or is it supposed to shut off perioticly? Can i change the price of this thing or is it set a one price (i found three dip switches behind the coin mec but dont know if thats it or not). I also have it in my garage and i am haveing to empty the drip tray every day . Is this because its outside or is there something wrong with my temp setting? I also noticed that i have a sensor or plug missing .When i look at the wiring diagram it says its an Internal DEX thing but dont even know what that means. Anyway any info is great info .Thanks guys for all your help.Heres a pic and I think that the model is a DMV 72N 8. PEACE!!!

Some information for you.

Ok, woohoo! something I have delt with and can give you some of the information on.
1. Running all day, there is a fan which does run all the time. the compressor will kick on and off to maintain the set temp. (you will notice its louder when the compressor is going)
for temp adjustment, If this machine is like mine when you open the "inner" door where you would stock the soda etc, there should be a control knob on the lower left side, Machines tend to be set at 2 or 3 and can go up to 10. (setting will depend on the charge in the system and how well it cools) Try it at 2 or three and see how it is after about 24 hours.

2. Price. YES. the dip switches behind the coin mech are just that ! adjustment for cost.
You can play with these and figure them out. I don't have the settings off hand. but switch and then test :)
I think you can go as low as a nickel and as high as a buck..

3. Drip pan, I would check the gasket around the internal door, It sounds like it is getting to cold temp and then warm air is getting inside and causing condensation. This is something which also will up your utility bill. if the gasket is tore or missing in some parts,
I would suggest looking at home depot or lowes for weather striping which has an adhesive backing to sick on the missing sections.

P.S. check the "coils" or where you see the refridgerant run through, unless you have the "lintless" which is the same coils but with a outter tin style shell.
you may want to see how clean they are as well..


Ok, Need more information on the make and model, checking around a quick search with the machine type of information provided is coming up empty.
check around the machine on the outside and inside, and you should see a name plate with make model serial ect.
Please provide that information, and I will see what we can find out about the Internal DEX

WOW !! THanks for all the info. Well the systems keeping cold , but the tray is still filling up pretty quick. I think its because its in the garage and i live in FL. My thermo turns on every 2-3 mins and then shuts off.Is this normal or should i turn up the therm. As far as price I bought it in a bulk deal with a nice 60-1 and a minty Sega Outrun for $600 flat .Sold the 60-1 for $600 to a neighbor so I got it pretty much for free. I do love it and it looks cool as hell in the garage . I have two of the selections on it for beer ( Miller light and Yuengling) . If you can come up with anything else let me know the model is a DMV72n. Thanks again for the info.
