MidStateVending Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I have a customer with a Vendo drink maching. He called saying the cans are dropping out of multiple lanes... sometimes for no reason and others vend multiple cans at once. It is a long drive for me to look at this machine. Any ideas of what could cause this unusual problem, before I run up there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Board shorting out because the offsets are missing. Bad motor harnesses. Bad board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZVendor Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 You might have flickering or burned out lights in or near the machine. Also as Chris said, check that the logic board is secured to the plastic standoffs so it doesn't short out. You might also take a replacement board with you just in case. Also make sure that the ground terminal is on your power cord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feral Vending Mechanic Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 1 ) Make and model. You said Vendo, but Vendo has made many, many machines over their lifetime. 2 ) Are the fluorescent lights flickering or burned out? If so, replace/remove them. 3 ) Loose Ground wire. Check for loose ground wires. Especially if it's a newer model electronic machine, and super especially if it has a Mars 110v.BV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
