sbb Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 We have a DN501E coke machine that we got program and it is working except for the buttons vend wrong. When we test vend it and push the second button the second slot will vend. When we put money in and push the second button the 3rd slot will vend and the 3rd will vend the 4th and so on. Any ideas?

Chard Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 On a Dixie 501e you can assign buttons to whatever column you like. There should be instructions on the inside of the door panel or you can download them online. Look under the STS "Space to Sales" information.

cvending Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Coke branded machine normally have column 1&2 ties together. When button 1 is pressed it will alternate Vending columns 1&2. So 2is3, 3 is 4, etc. you probably have nine columns but 8 selection buttons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 If the space-to-sales is programmed properly and you still get misvends then you may have a bad selection membrane if you don't have actual select switches. Email me at rbepic4gatgmaildotcom if you need one for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbb Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 The machine we have does have 9 slots and 9 buttons. The first column is a double wide column and all of the rest are single. We have the first column/button set for $1 and all of the rest are $.50. When we have the door open and do a test vend all of the buttons work correctly and vend the corresponding column. When we shut the door to vend then only the first button and column correspond all of the other buttons from 2-9 vend one off. So 2 vends 3 and so on. I think the STS is set correctly since it does work when we do the test vend, but when we shut the door something goes wrong. Is it a bad membrane?

cvending Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Did you look at the STS? With the door open and you test the machine you are only checking to see if that motor work. Go into your menu by pressing the service button. Display will read HD. Now press and hold buttons 1&2 until you see USER then release. Press button 1 til you see STS. Now press selection #1 and it will show you which columns are assigned to that button. It will happen for each button you press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 When you are in test vend mode you are testing columns, not buttons. Your STS is out of whack or your selection membrane is bad. Look behind your select buttons and if there are no individual switches there then you have a selection membrane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magiccity726 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I’ve never seen a dn 501e “coke” machine. But I have 501e “Pepsi” machines. If they are the same, it sounds like your green strip membrane that is located behind the buttons went bad. If so, it’s a simple and cheap fix.

orsd Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Coke used 501E's pretty extensively in some areas. But this one was not an original Coke unit, all DN machines built for Coke since the old Ranson built single price machines of the 80's have one less button than columns. As for the issue, probably STS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike4 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I am having the sam issue with my 501e. Just realized it when I was told everyone was complaining they were getting wrong drinks. 1-9 selection buttons vend columns 1,9,3,4,5,6,7,8 then selection 9 does nothing. did you find a solution? Do you know what caused it? I am wondering if there is a bad battery on the board. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Nope. You probably have a selection switch membrane behind your buttons instead of individual switches. You have to replace the membrane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 If it is a machine that is new to you check the space to sales first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cvending Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Mike, according to your post, it seems button 2 vends column 9. This will be a STS issue. Go into your User menu, go to STS and press each button. The display will show you which column is assigned to each button. When you press button 2- it should read 2-2 meaning button 2 is assigned to column 2, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
