Obviously I'm new to this Vending venture, I have read through the Vendo literature that has come with the machine, and the only possible explanation
I can find is that some how the selection has been turned off on selection 1 , 2 , and 3? All other selections still vend, just 1,2 and 3 which are filled with cans display sold out once credit has been established and selection has been made?
Just a week ago all selections were vending perfectly?? Then I sold out a column and replaced a couple old flavors with new ones, then closed it up and tried to make a selection just to test it and the 1,2, and 3 selections which are full display sold out?
Any help would be appreciated?
Try to open the vendor door. Then wait 10 sec. Then hold down the vendor door button for 5 sec. and release it. Then try again.

This is probably a single price machine. If it is you might have a loose connection on one of your top 3 selection buttons. Check those switch connections first. Second, you might have a jammed product in the column you didn't change flavors in and they you may have incorrectly loaded the columns you did change the flavors in, or possibly all three are loaded wrong. There are two vend mechanism designs of the V407 - one with round rotors under each column and one with "lowering shelves" in each wide column. If you could post which style vend mechanism you have I can give you more help.
curious bud I have a vendo v407 I loaded 12oz bottles into column 4 and one of them got stuck, I opened the machine and unjammed the water bottle from the column, closed it back up and put in another dollar to try it out... it worked one more time, and then that column read sold out... checked it... looks like the round rotor is stayed open on the top side and the selection motor doesnt look like its click in... Is there a way to reset it or make the column go back to the closed position? or did I break something... I read somewhere I can put in 16.9 oz water bottles... which is what I'm trying to do in the first place... Any help is much appreciated.
Don't try to use 12 oz bottles.
I also made one mistake and that is that your machine with grey cam motors can handle bottles 2 deep. Because of this you'll need to set your cam setting to #2 and then push your bottles back against the rear spacer before pulling the spacer forward. The goal is to have a finger's worth of space between the butt of the front bottle and the depressed sold out paddle.
