How to fix an Automatic Products Vending machine that won't take bills?
If your Automatic Products Vending machine won't take bills, ensure the coin tubes are filled. If the belts or stacker aren't running on power-up, check for 24 VAC at P1. If the belts run but the bill is only partially accepted, consider replacing the validator.
Why does my Automatic Products Vending machine have no power?
If your Automatic Products Vending machine has no power, check the wall outlet for correct wiring and the line cord. If the lights work but there's no power to the board, check transformer outputs and circuit breakers. Also check wiring connections to the board. A defective power board may also be the reason, so consider replacing it. For a blank display on LCM machines, check for 24VAC at the white wires at P1.
What to do if the motor doesn't home on door close in my Automatic Products Vending machine?
If the motor in your Automatic Products Vending machine doesn't home when the door closes, check for correct voltages. If voltages are correct, the door switch or the board could be defective, requiring replacement.
What to do if my Automatic Products Vending machine won't take coins?
If your Automatic Products Vending machine won't take coins, verify the wall outlet, line cord, and voltage. A defective changer or circuit breaker could also be the cause, in which case you should replace them. If the machine only accepts one coin, reprice and test the machine because it may have lost its vend prices. For no power to coin payouts, replace the power board or logic board on LCM machines.
What to do if my Automatic Products Vending machine says 'Use correct change'?
If your Automatic Products Vending machine displays 'Use correct change', first refill the coin tubes. If the message persists even with full tubes, the coin mechanism may be defective and needs replacement.
Why won't my Automatic Products Vending machine payout coins or is returning incorrect change?
If your Automatic Products Vending machine won't payout coins or returns incorrect change, start by checking the voltages. The power board or coin mechanism could be defective and may need replacement. Also, check for and remove any jammed coins in the tube.
What to do if my Automatic Products Vending machine says 'make another selection'?
If your Automatic Products Vending machine says 'make another selection', home the motor and retry, or for LCM, do a mode 5 test vend if motor 1 cycled 2. If a selection lost its price, reset prices. If a motor won't turn, swap shelves and retry. Also check the shelf harness connection to the board, and check 24VAC to logic board (white wires for LCM).
Why do the spirals turn more than one turn on my Automatic Products Vending machine by Automatic Products?
If the spirals in your Automatic Products Vending machine turn more than one turn, it could be due to a capacitor discharging current (re-solder or replace the motor), a loose wire on the motor (repair the wire), a defective motor switch (replace the switch), a defective control board (replace the board), or incorrect vend motors installed (use gray or black bodied motors for LCM).
Why do more than one motor turn together in my Automatic Products Vending machine?
If more than one motor turns together in your Automatic Products Vending machine, check each individual motor for a loose or pinched wire, as one of the motor wires might be shorting out. Alternatively, the control board could be defective and need replacement.
Why does the coin mechanism jackpot on my Automatic Products Vending machine?
If your Automatic Products Vending machine coin mechanism jackpots, check the voltages, ensuring they're within ±10%. The coin mechanism or control board might be defective, requiring replacement.
