Pittboy26 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 If someone can help me trouble shoot. I have been having horrible problems with this machine. Got there today, (Royal Vendors 660) and the dollar bill validator, Coin Mech and Refrigeration were not working. It all sounds like it works when I start it up, and machine sounds like it’s cooling but nothing works. Any tips? thank you. Having so much trouble here.

orsd Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Does the display say anything? By everything sounds like it’s working do you mean you hear the chain homing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pittboy26 Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 Display shows nothing. No lights on at all. Yeah, when it could be chain homing I’m not sure. Doesn’t sound like normal, but I hear it moving somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savend Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Did you check the fuse. It’s a black rectangle, could have been loose or popped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pittboy26 Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 No I didn’t. I’ll have to. Where can I get a replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savend Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I think it’s just a 3.0amp fuse. Should be able to get it at any parts store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 If the chain and compressor are running then the main cabinet has power. I think the Royal cold control comes thru the board so that may be why it's not cooling. If nothing in the door is powering up then the fuze like Savend suggests, or some other problem with power getting to the door. You might want to download the manual for your vendor and run thru the power diagram so you can check the wiring and any transformers.. https://www.royalvendors.com/customer-service/technical-info/manuals/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pittboy26 Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 I took the fuses out and when I closed the door nothing powered on but when I put the fuses back it started up but no lights. No coin mech or bill validator. Bill validator says disconnected from system. On way to Ace to get 2 new fuses to see what happens. I’m not mechanical if this doesn’t work idk what I’m gonna do......

savend Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 When you said no coin or bill I assumed you mean you had now power to them. If they are flashing diagnostic codes then you have power & the fuse will not matter. Can you tell us what brand the coin changer & bill validator are & if they are flashing any codes? Have you unplugged the machine for 15 seconds & plugged it back in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pittboy26 Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Bill Validator is Flashing twice, meaning Disconnected from System. Coin Machine is a G6XUS-BB-KO. No power whatsoever to this one. No lights or anything. The only light there is is on the back of the bill validator saying disconnected from system. Yes I unplugged for 1 minute then plugged back in.

Pittboy26 Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Changed Fuses, no change. Sorry guys not trying to sounds weak here or anything but I’m just defeated. Guy sold me this machine for $2500 and promised it made $200 weekly and it’s been broken down 6 out of 8 weeks I’ve owned it and maybe gets $10 a week.

lacanteen Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 That coin mech is crap. Get an MEI CF7512 or Coinco 9302GX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savend Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Just to make sure, on the front of the machine there is nothing on the digital display? Coin changer is not working (no lights, display or excepting any change)? Bill validator is displaying an error code that probably means it’s fine, just turned off from either the changer or the board. It is not refrigerating either? Did I miss anything? You can take a separate extension cord & plug in the compressor to it to test & make sure you don’t have a problem with the compressor. It should be plugged in on the bottom left & will look like a regular plug end. That way we can rule it out. If the display on the front of the machine is working then you should see a message when the door is open that says “error”. Let us know if you see any of those things.

lacanteen Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 The coin mech should be plugged into the bill acceptor. If the bill acceptor has power and not the mech, it's either a bad bill acceptor harness or bad coin mech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pittboy26 Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Coin mech is plugged into Bill Acceptor. Was working fine until recently. No savend, no light at all in front of machine. No error codes. I’ll test plug sometime this weekend hopefully had to take kiddo home. Everything was working fine until the one day I checked it the other day. Bill acceptor has light. Coin mech does not. No light display on front. Machine is not cooling but it sounds like it’s making noise back there, just not like normal. that’s everything guys to sum it up. Lacanteen I’ll look into new coin mech if I can fix the machine at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 If you are in a big city try finding yourself a vending tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 This is getting all over the place... some random thoughts we may have missed: Does the coin mech have change in the tubes? You might also want to check the door switch, if it is damaged that might account for both the cooling problem and the disconnected from machine error message. If the machine thinks the door is open due to a bad switch it would not activate the compressor and may have the validator inactivated also. Switch could be broken from overtightening the door, or just knocked out of place so that it is not being activated properly, or have damaged wiring. You may want to take orsd's advise and find a good repair tech. What area are you in? I see your prior post about this machine was about losing pricing and having coin mech issues. It helps to have someone who can get your machine going and also help you learn maintenance yourself. As for here, you may want to post some pictures of the inside of the door so we can see the validator and coin mech, along with the wiring. Something might stand out in a photo.

Pittboy26 Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 Where would the door switch be? I’m in the Topeka Kansas area. I can’t find a vending machine tech around here at all. Most are in KC area and won’t come down here. (About 1 15 hours away). I’ll post some pics next time I’m there. Thank you guys so much. Light in a world of darkness!!

The switch makes sense, except that there isn't anything showing on the front display. I think the compressor can be ruled out if he'll plug it in separately & see if it runs. Though unlikely a wire pulled loose on the board or chewed in two somewhere along the way might play a role. Come to think of it, down at the bottom lefter where the compressor plugs in, there is a mess of wires. One of those going have come unplugged & leading to issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 The door switch may be in several locations depending on when the machine was made. Look for a switch on the lower part of the cabinet on either side. Savend is correct that the display should still work if it's the switch, but you may have more than one problem going on.
