    Well these videos were extremely helpful in a way to me. Everything is going well with the venture I told you about. I started having column 6 double on me. I kept staring at the motor. Completely familiar with how it works now. No video i have watched showed the complete interaction of both the rotor, motor, and shims. I was thinking it was a motor but everything I could tell indicated it was fine. The motor kept stopping in cam position two with a empty rotor. Kept eyeballing and eyeballing below until I figured out they sent the wrong shim. Two of my columns are partially configured for cans and bottles. Bottle shims with can rod. This setup works for 16.9 bottles but I do not know how well and it doubles randomly with cans. Glad I found the issue. Thank you. I think somebody needs to do a video about how they all work together in harmony. Maybe its something I could do but I am not very videogenic. Thanks.

    I have 8 Dixie narco motors in my machine. On one of them, the motor switch is pressed down and stuck in the middle of the cycle. The rest of the 7 motors work when I press their switch. My question is: if one of the motors doesn’t work, does the whole line of motors lose the ability to be activated by the buttons?

    If it is a newer machine that runs off a control board, it won't be an issue. If it's an older electro mechanical machine, it could stop the other motors from running. Just replace the motor switch and you should be ok. You can also try cleaning it with some windex because it probably got covered with soda.

    I have been binge watching your videos for 2 months now we have 5 machines now and getting ready to put them all out 11-1! Do you know where I can get a new wiring harness for the 276e? The wires going to the micro switches are corroded and falling apart

    Did you contact Crane? If not, try contacting some used equipment dealers near you....they may have parted out an old machine and will sell you a used harness.

    You should check and see if the machine has a "tube fill" mode. If it does, empty the change from the coin mech and refill it while the machine is in tube fill mode. That will tell the machine how much change it has in the coin mech. If that doesn't work, you might want to switch out your coin mechs and see if that is the problem.

    My Royal Vending 804 has a motor that dispenses automatically, (eg. No coins are inserted, and it will start dispensing randomly.) Would it just be the switch going bad?

    The 804 only has one motor that vends all 12 columns. That's odd that it would vend a column without any credit in the machine. Does it always vend the same column? Does it vend normally when you put money in the machine and make a selection? Is it displaying any error messages?

    Why not swap that motor with a known good motor in the machine and see if the problem follows that motor? I didn't know those machines had sold out switches.

    Hi, I’m having a issue with my machine. Before I filled it. 1/2/3/6 slots worked. 4/5 stopped working long ago. Now nothing is working. Number 3 will turn the cam when pushed manually and drop a pop. None of the other ones that did work, will work now. This machine is set up on a bypass switch. Tap the switch and select a drink and it would work. But not no more. Any suggestions? Any service people available in northwest Indiana? Thanks for any help.

    What model machine do you have? It might be that the switches on the motors have gone bad. You could try purchasing some new switches and see if that gets the motors going again.

  • @HappyVending

    2 жыл бұрын

    That's a vend sensor error. It could be that one of the actuators on the chain got messed up, the vend sensor is bad, or the vend motor is bad. You should download the GIII manual from the Royal website and read the troubleshooting section for that error message. It should help you narrow down which problem you have. I've replaced the vend motor and sensor on one of my Giii's and it wasn't too hard, but the motor is expensive. Hopefully your motor isn't bad.
