Condenser Fan Replacement in Vendo V540

A Pepsi Vendo 540 was too noisy. This machine is in a Hotel and the customers were reporting their sleep was disrupted. Often the bearings in a condenser fan will become worn allowing the fan blades to contact the cowling. A simple fix is to replace the motor. This is accomplished through the front of the machine. No need to pull the refer deck. See Pic...

This is intended to be written as a help guide for the novice vending machine refurbish/repair person to follow.
I have worked in the vending industry for almost 30 years and I often answered the question "How do you do this business"? With the answer "I can't tell you but the education will cost you a fortune". For this reason I thought I might enlighten others with an on-line journal/blog of some of my projects and repairs.
