KYvendor Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I got a call today from my best location: a coin laundry with a brand new routemaster triple head machine; the owner stated that the PMM's were Misvending or only vending one or two at a time. Upon further inspection, even removal of half the product, I noticed the problem was every third vend. I brought the machine home but have yet to inspect it. Do any of you have any idea what it is? The only thing I can think of is that there are candies jammed into one section of the wheel, unable to refill that section or vend any candy. Any other ideas? I'll let you know once I've checked the machine tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adog Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Is the wheel lines up correctly? I always make sure the wheel drop hole is right over the chute. I think if its off it can make like every third vend misspend? Maybe I'm wrong? Thats how I do it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treadmill Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 For gumballs the hole in the gumball wheel should line up over the hole. For candy the pie shaped opening must be split in half over the opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 if there's candy jammed in the wheel, then thats probably the culprit.also, you mentioning that the problem only happens every three vends also tells me that its the jammed section because the jammed section will line up over the chute every three turns of the handle but not give any stuff out..

KYvendor Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Okay, I'll take the wheel out and check to see whether the pie shaped section is half way over, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagesVending Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 It sounds like it could be the gear on the mech. Check to make sure it's not messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Track Amusements Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Yea, it sounds like the wheel is out of time. Check to make sure you have it aligned properly with the hole in the hopper and do several test vends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
