A friend of mine has this same machine. His won't respond to the selection buttons, even after putting the right amount of money into the coin mechanism. He did replace the coin mechanism but nothing yet... it's like the board isn't acknowledging that the money has been inserted. It will vend if you trigger the motors like you're doing in this video.
Thanks for sharing this! I love watching people fix things. It's therapeutic. :)
Thanks for the comment, and I know what you mean about it being therapeutic (feel the same way). I only have experience with the issues I worked through in this video series (as this was my first vending machine). However, I think the first response in this thread should point you in the right direction: vendiscuss.net/topic/22608-dn-368-wont-vend-please-help/
Good luck!
@@anythingmechanical3399 thank you! Will check that link. :)
your credit relay could be defective, thanks
This video brings back memories.
Appreciate your knowledge and experience and the time you put into these videos it's on my bucket list to start my first vending machine route soon. I figured while I'm saving up to buy routes I'll learn how to repair the machines in the meantime
Very thorough repairs...nice work!
Thanks a lot! I appreciate it
Extra points for the JB-weld hack (hack in the good sense).
That 2000s Pepsi machine brings back a lot of memories.
Great video. just purchased a used Dixie Narco 348, this video explains so much. Very much appreciated. Thank you...
Best video I've found so far on fixing vending machines your the man
Thank you!
I've been lookjng for this for about a year
Awsome my number 1 and 4 keeps vending sodas. So I will be looking into giving my motor mechanisms a good cleaning should do the trick. They all work jus a matter of that park arm falling intoplace🤙
Very thorough explanations. Thank you!
Awesome good to know just started my business learning all I can
Best of luck!
How did you fix the one that didn’t have a any power
This was really helpful, you should do more vending machines videos, subscribed!
Great video helped me fix the machine at work.
Awesome! Love hearing that!
Nice video. I'm having an issue of one of my motors crushing cans. Not enough to pop them but it does jam that tray up.
@scirockalot8v Thanks. I had the same problem when I first got the machine and I think it led to some of the gears getting stripped out. Here's a good thread on how to fix motors that crush cans www.vend-resource.com/forum-topic/dixie-narco-crushing-cans
your vend cup is BENT, thanks
I have this exact machine with this exact problem I troubleshooted today! Three questions to you are what’s the model number to this machine? I’m seeing Dixie Narco CMB in Google images…maybe…not sure. I can’t find an identifying sticker anywhere! Secondly, is this a single price machine and how do you change the prices? Also, an update…is the JB Weld still holding? THANK YOU FOR THIS!
yknow i searched up for the food machine meme video but, this is good too.
Excelente video y buen consejo para reparar engrane
Nice job explaining everything
Where do you find those springs for the "park gear"
Thank you for the demonstration
You're welcome. Hope it helped
The product you spread on central shaft was JB weld; thank you very much for this video. Which gear was this? Aedin
Cotter pin would cause a problem, I kept rewinding for basis of repair. Which gear was this? I remember one of the gears not turning. I will rewind again. JB weld is a product you spread on central shaft to adhere to drilled areas. Aedin
Great video , learned so much , thanks
LOVED THIS VIDEO THANK YOU
Awesome, thank you
Nice to get a score like that for free! Nobody lets anything go without a price around here.
Or only was it free, once I got it open I found about $20 in quarters 😂
Do you know how much this machine weighs?
hi I have the same machine but cannot find the model. What model is your machine? Awesome video!
Thanks. Sorry, I don't have this machine anymore so I can't look for the model number.
What did you clean the inside and gears with. Then what grease do you use
I fused the gear to the shaft with JB weld. I used glass cleaner to clean all the pivot points (outside the gearbox). For the gearbox grease, there was plenty of grease in there so I didn't feel the need to re-apply. Had I thought it necessary I would have just used bearing grease, available at any auto parts store.
At first I thought u will make a new gear for it
Didnt know u can buy a complete motor as well
I thought old vending maschines dont have replacment parts
In the case of the cam mechanism being broken for any reason and not vending products, does the machine have a way of sensing that nothing was vended? Or does it just take your money and "think" a drink was vended?
Worse, it would just keep running since the switch never got tripped and this wouldn't allow the machine to reset. So it basically made the whole machine a big paper weight.
Man I got two vendo Pepsi machines. I’m having an issue in a column where you pay once and it will let you click the same one again and get free ones out until you click on a different selection. Any idea how to fix it? It’s not the partition either.
Is this something one must learn owning a vending machine?
Not necessarily. If you want a turnkey business you'll buy new machine and employ a maintenance person/company and won't need to know any of this stuff. If you want a higher profit margin business that will involve getting better deals on older machines and troubleshooting/fixing yourself (in which case some of this knowledge may be helpful)
I have a vending machine. Money gets insterted and it eats it. No product comes out why?
Is it reasonable to repair an old motor harness that is no longer made?
Sounds like you don't have much choice. But, yes, depending on the extent of the damage.
were can you get the break???
Hi, what is the exact name of the compound you placed on the broken gear? Thanks
JB Weld
How could I change the prices? I have a cash flow 560
What is the Error
Do you have any social media besides TH-cam?
Kinda. I put a few videos on rumble, but I don't seem to get any views over there.
@@anythingmechanical3399 I have a problem with my vending machine. and I was wondering if you’ll be able to help me
spending way to much time, just take a spray bottle with hot water in it and spray it on those microswitches that is what is causing the motor to drift..syrup and stuff gets in there
the white part on the top of the motor is called the break. spray that with your hot water. maybe the reason the other motor doesn't turn is the switch could be bad or you have a bent vend cup
That sounds like a good short term fix if you're operating a bunch of machines. For me, this was my only machine and I wanted to restore it to good working order. The motor that didn't turn ended up being not plugged in correctly, so not woth mentioning in the video.
I’m ❤
thanks?
I’m looking for a person who knows how to do machine repair
nice video. i sub to you. i wish i could find a soda machine.
