Hi, I have a small combo (3 cans, 6 chocolates, 6 snacks) machine (an Australian made RP Vending machine RP 252 model) that has been in storage for 2 years. Recently moved it to a new site, filled it with products and coin change and nothing is vending at all. No error messages at all. It had forgotten the prices but accepted new ones and remembered them. We have gone through the reset process for the rows etc but it looks like there is no power to any of the motors. Also, down the bottom inside the machine but on the outside wall, opposite and below the coin dispenser, there is a printed circuit board that contains a fuse, transformer and LED. The fuse appears to be ok visually, but the LED is not lit, when the one on our other identical working machine is lit. We live in a regional area in Australia where there are no repair places for vending machines. My husband is pretty handy with this sort of stuff, so if he knew what to look for and how to replace/repair it he could. Any advice on this would be gratefully received!
We used a multi meter to test the fuse and while it looked good, it was not good. 1 new fuse in place and the machine is vending and purring nicely again! Fortunately just an 80 cent fix
