JayB Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hello All! I am proud owner of a Dixie Narco 501e for my car wash, and I proudly admit I know nothing about the machine, but would like to learn. I would like any advice with the following: I recently removed the 20 oz. Gatorade and replaced with Dr. Pepper 12 oz. cans. After changing the price, I tested the new selection, and to my surprise, the machine stated it is SOLD OUT, but there are 24 soda cans in the machine. Any suggestions to remedy this?

AngryChris Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Did you adjust the back spacer at least? To convert a 501e from 20 oz bottles to 12 oz cans requires adjusting the cams, exchanging the bottle shims for can shims, and adjusting the back spacer. The sold-out paddle must be depressed in order to make the machine vend from that selection. If all you did was take the bottles out and put 12 oz cans in, then you have several modifications to do. The most minimum is to adjust the back spacer and the cam, but taking the bottle shim out and putting a can shim in will be necessary as well. If after all of that it still reads sold-out, then there may be something wrong with the sold-out switch but I don't think that's your case.

JayB Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hello AngryChris! You're right, I did nothing but insert the cans. I will do the adjustments as you requested, and will let you know the results. JayB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
