TKK Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 So today I pulled out the sliding door to take out the cash and it was stuck. I pulled it so hard that it sparked and threw out a breaker.....the powerchord was stuck in the back, plugged it back in and the transformer had some black on it like a firework. How can I fix it
FrCorey Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 thats really bad. those dont have good fuse protection. you prolly fried the electronics. maybe lights switches and motors too. unless you can trouble shoot it yourself, like one other said here, it's prolly trash. you cant get parts for them, so you would have to buy a working one and use it for parts. slim chance, check the fuses. and see if the computer responds. try unplugging it and see if it restarts. good luck, sorry.
TKK Posted July 3, 2013 Author Posted July 3, 2013 I believe it had warranty from pirahna . Com. There's got to be a way to fix it...
AZVendor Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I was just going to ask if this is your Seaga machine. Are you saying the machine doesn't work now? You will have to do some troubleshooting with a voltmeter to see if you get 110V to the transformer and whatever light system they might have in it. If you have 110V to the transformer, then do you have 24V out of it? If you have 24V out of the transformer, test if you have it going into the board power connection. If so and the board doesn't work, then look for a fuse on or near the board that may have blown. If you find one, replace it with the exact rating in volts and amps as well as type. Before you replace any fuse make sure you have corrected the short circuit you created when pulling on the panel. You don't want any bare wires in the machine.
TKK Posted July 4, 2013 Author Posted July 4, 2013 I'm going to post a pic as I'm not electrically wise at all
TKK Posted July 4, 2013 Author Posted July 4, 2013 heres a pic of the thing that burnt. the spark was where theres a connector connected from 3 wires to this relay thing. its like a plug that connects the rear cable to the wall, to the plug connected to this relat thingy. it was just because I pulled the tray too hard I don't see any peeled wire or anything. I hope I can just switch a fuse or something, its not a gold mine but it does make an easy $10+ a day

AZVendor Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 You need to get the transformer loose so you can inspect the wiring. It sounds like the 110V wires go right into the windings and you pulled hard enough to short the black and white together. As I said before, you need to troubleshoot your voltages to and from the transformer, but I think you have probably damaged the windings and will need a new transformer.
AZVendor Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Try Grainger or Johnstone Supply. If you send me photos front and back of it with all information from it I can send one to you. Measure the mounting holes and we'll see if we can match the holes too.
TKK Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 I'll remove it tomorrow and send you detailed pics az. I'd greatly apreciate it
TKK Posted July 13, 2013 Author Posted July 13, 2013 Az I can't send you messages could u send me ur cell phone #? I'm wondering how much this transformer would cost me? I wanna fix it asap
AZVendor Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 My phone number is 602-696-2826. You can text me or leave a message if I can't answer. Sprint is not working at my house right now. Randy
TKK Posted July 15, 2013 Author Posted July 15, 2013 Az I replied to your texts please reply as I could use the part asap
