I have a single price Vendo machine. I can't seem to find a solution to my problem. It vends free sodas sometimes it gives out more than one. Sometimes it doesn't even need money to vend. The motors and all the mechanisms seem to be working ok. I feel like the control board is to blame (if this machine has any) not necessarily the mechanics, but whatever controls the whole operation. Does the coin or bill mechanisms control the vending process? or does it have its own control board. Should I replace any of these parts? Please Help!!!!!!!!!!
macomakako,
It sounds like your selection motor brake is sticking. Since I just answered this question today in another post and previously a few weeks ago in another post and my fingers are tired of typing I will direct you these posts right here on our forum:
http://www.vend-resource.com/forum-topic/vendo-480-keeps-vending
and
http://www.vend-resource.com/forum-topic/dixie-dncb-276-162-5-random-dis...
the first is about a Vendo (your make of machine) and the second is about a Dixie-Narco but they both are very similar machines in this respect.
if this doesn't help get back to me and we'll figure it out.
