MandEmVending Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Hi all, Once again, learning more about this machine. I’ve got the AP LCM4 I’ve been limping along and now I have can dispenser issues. One motor refuses to be timed properly and gets jammed and now another one has started. Would it be easier to replace the individual motors or try to fix the timing? I’m naive on how to do either. I’ve gotten good at taking the can vend door off but lost on where to go from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 You can't fix the timing. The motors need to be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandEmVending Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 Is it a pretty easy fix? Any tips on replacing the motors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandEmVending Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 Also, is this the correct part? https://www.amequipmentsales.com/product/360199-ap-lcm-motor/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 That is the right PN but the wrong motor. You need one that has a hole through the motor cam like this one: https://www.dsvendinginc.com/p-1128-d16700014-01-ap-lcm45-can-vend-motor.aspx You will want the columns empty. The last can will come out when you remove the two screws on the top hinge of the door. Then remove the two vertical screws that hold the motor bracket. You will have to transfer the sold out harness wires and squeeze the end of the crank arm to release it from the motor. When you put the crank back into the new motor make sure you have it timed for the door to be closed when it's all installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandEmVending Posted September 14 Author Share Posted September 14 Very good. I'll try to send some cooler weather down towards you all. This part was on a different site for much cheaper. Looks to have the hole through the motor cam, too. Would love your expertise to make sure it's the right one before I order. https://snackattacknow.com/product/lcm4-can-soda-vend-motor/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 That is the correct one. I never liked that guy because he never uses factory part numbers. He always keeps them secret and he used to have the highest prices but lots of people buy from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandEmVending Posted September 14 Author Share Posted September 14 Silly. If it saves me $$ (ordering 2), worth a shot. Would be nice to have the part numbers posted though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
