What to do if my Automatic Products Vending machine won't take coins?

  Colin HaleyAug 14, 2025
  If your Automatic Products Vending machine won't take coins, first ensure the machine has power by checking the wall outlet, line cord, and voltage. If the machine only accepts one coin, it may have lost its vend prices, so reprice and test. A defective changer or circuit breaker could also be the cause, so consider replacing them. For no power to coin payouts on LCM machines, replace the power board or logic board.

  If the Automatic Products Vending machine has no lights, check the wall outlet for correct wiring and the line cord. If the lights are working, but there is no power to the board, check the transformer outputs and circuit breakers. Also, verify the wiring connections. If the display is blank on LCM machines, check for 24VAC at the white wires at P1. If none of these steps work, the power board may be defective and require replacement.

  If your Automatic Products Vending machine won't payout coins or returns incorrect change, start by checking the voltages. If the voltage is correct, the power board or coin mechanism may be defective and need to be replaced. Also, check for jammed coins in the tube and remove them.

  If your Automatic Products Vending machine won't take bills, ensure the coin tubes are full. If the belts or stacker don't run on power-up, check for 24 VAC at P1. If the belts run but the bill is only accepted halfway, consider replacing the validator. Also, check the shelf harness connection to the board. If a selection lost its price, reset the prices. If 'Motor 1? cycled 2', home the motor and retry, or for LCM, do mode 5 test vend. If the motor won't turn, swap shelves with another shelf and retry.

Why do the spirals turn more than one turn in Automatic Products Vending machines?

  Matthew WilliamsSep 3, 2025
  If the spirals in your Automatic Products Vending machine turn more than one turn, it could be due to a capacitor discharging current; try re-soldering the capacitor or replacing the motor. A loose wire on the motor could also be the cause, so repair the wire. Alternatively, the motor switch or control board may be defective, requiring replacement.

  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 may be shorting out. A defective control board could also cause this issue, requiring replacement. For LCM machines, ensure gray or black bodied motors are installed, as incorrect vend motors could be the cause.
