J and T Vending Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 My Royal Vendor GII drink machine t handle want lock. It is aligned correctly but it just turns and want lock into place to push in. How do you replace a t handle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 You have to remove the retaining clip, washer and spring from the threaded stud inside the door. Then the T-handle assembly will slide out of the flange. Your handle is probably rounded off on the inside or the cross pin is worn If you need either one let me know and I can ship it to you.

allprovending Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Thanks for the info AZVendor......I need to replace one as well and remember someone had asked this question. I was thinking that was the way to do it but wanted to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Since we are on this topic, I have a problem with a machine. One of my 501-E's has had a funny t-handle issue since I purchased it. Once the screw engages, the handle wants to immediately pull itself in (as if to lock the machine) as you twist. However, the screw will not turn.. but the t-handle will just spin as if something is loose. To tighten the machine, you have to PULL on the t-handle while twisting simultaneously (after the screw has initially started to twist into the nut). I'm not sure what the problem is as I obviously cannot see what's happening. I have never replaced a T-handle or any parts as I (thankfully) try to be as gentle as possible with my doors and t-handles. Do I just need a new t-handle assembly? It looks as though all of the parts are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Check that you don't have a cross threaded cage nut. You probably also have a worn out T-handle that won't stay engaged with the cross pin. That causes it to slip off the cross pin and 'skip'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
