I just got a Dixie - Narco 6 selection pepsi vend and the problem is, vend slot number 3 will continuosly vend until empty. No coins needed, just activate the switch with soda and it keeps running. Number 5 slot works as it is supposed to and all the rest, numbers 1,2,4,& 6, will not vend at all. I checked selection switches and they all seem fine.Out of stock switches seem fine too. Cam positions are just how the manuel says to set them. Im no expert but everything appears to be the way it should. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
thumperx2,
It sounds like you have more than one problem. So lets start with selection number 3 first. You probably have sticking brake on your vend motor on selection 3, this is usually caused by soda spray building up over time and the sticky residue causes the brake to stick and then the motor doesn't stop and will vend the whole column. The solution is to clean the brake with water & ammonia (Unplug the machine FIRST!)spray it on and work the brake up and down until it no longer sticks. Then let it thoroughly dry before plugging in the machine. I have included a picture of the vend motor and brake and the microswitchs. The brake is the metal thingy under the down pointing red arrow. Try cleaning it and get back to me, let me know if that selection is fixed. then we'll see what else might be wrong.
i need to buy a single column and double column motor for this machine... is there some place you guys buy these at?
owtlawaty,
There are several online vending parts suplliers that have vend motors, but my favorite is www.VendingMix.com Like most online parts suppliers they can't list every type of part they carry. But I know they have vend motors for dixie-narco machines because thats where I get mine. Just call them or fill in their contact form and they will quote you a price.
