Sgolembiewski0903 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Hi all! I have a few machine with issues I was hoping to get some insight on! One is an FSI3132... the machine works great except literally HALF of the selections don't work. I bought it this way and none of the other selections have gone bad since I bought it a year ago.... Any ideas? The other, I don't even have a model for it... it's an old Vendo Can 1 Price...6 select...cold drinks logo on front... front of machine is flat, not round. This one went through 2 bill acceptors in about a month. I'm hesitant to put another one on....? The account is no good, nice people though. They are okay with just change, but of course I would like to 1) explore options for them for an acceptor and 2)understand the issue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Swap both acceptor and coin mech for known good ones. AT THE SAME TIME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coin mech can cause bad bill acceptor problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Which selections aren't working? I have a 3141 that the #6 button stopped working on, so all those selections wouldn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falls Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 yah, "literally half", is there a pattern? All odd work, all even, every second shelf? It could be as simple as a bad keypad, could be pinched or broken shelf wiring. In the worst case Could be a board but unlikely - I've just gone through a machine that had a board that drove shelf 6 in combination with any other selection (A1 =A1+F1, B3=B3+F3, etc...checked all the wiring ended up being a board error) so you can never rule anything out.

savend Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I was taught early on that if you unplug the mech or bill acceptor without first killing power to the machine can cause problems on the mech & validator. If you have ever done that you can see that little arch when you plug it in. Makes sense that it could jolt the board. It just takes a second longer to unplug or turn off the power to the door before you work on those. Any error codes on the 3132? If you do a motor count does it pick up all of them? I had one similar that the wires were dangling in the back & when the customer would roll the shelf into place it eventually cut some of the wires.
