Dudding Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I have a beverage machine that I'm selling. It's been unplugged and empty for couple months. I've recently plugged it back in and it's cooling. But the dollar bill excepter won't except bills. Is it because I don't have any cans in the machine?

Do you have any coins in the coin mech? If the machine can't give change, the bill changer won't work unless all your prices are set to a dollar. The bill acceptor has no way of knowing that the machine is empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudding Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 No I emptied that too. It worked fine when I moved it. So I figured I didn't do something right haha. In the morning I'll go out and fill the coins. Oh another thing is there's no lights on the bill excepter. Is that OK or a bad sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 When you open the door, there should be a red light on the bill acceptor. Since it's not functioning, that light should be flashing a certain number of times, which then indicates why it isn't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudding Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Ugh. Is there a reset button on the acceptor? Why would it be working fine before? I don't think I unplugged anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 It's there a light at all? What are the make and model of the machine and validator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the few times I will disagree with Moondog. Most Soda machine will stop accepting coins and bills when no product is holding in at least one sold out flap. Without knowing the make and model of machine you have no one can be certain of how your machine was designed. Walta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 501e will scroll "sold out" and not accept anything when there isn't any product in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
