No Power Diagnostic Flow
Systematic check from wall outlet through power cord, internal fuse, and controller to isolate power loss.
Qualified technician handoff: stop before live electrical testing, sealed-system refrigeration work, compressor service, or protected-compartment access unless a qualified technician is handling the work.

- 1
Check Wall Outlet
operator-intermediatelowPlug a known-good lamp or outlet tester into the wall outlet serving the machine. Confirm the outlet has power.
Outlet TesterStop conditions- spark-or-arc-from-outlet-stop-and-call-facility-electrician
Expected: Lamp illuminates or tester shows correct wiring.
Evidence to note: note
- 2
Inspect Power Cord
operator-intermediatelowVisually inspect the full length of the power cord for cuts, kinks, discoloration, or exposed conductors. Confirm it seats firmly in the machine inlet.
FlashlightStop conditions- cord-feels-hot-stop-and-unplug
- visible-exposed-wire-stop-and-unplug
Expected: Cord is undamaged and firmly seated.

Check Internal Fuse
operator-intermediatehighWith machine unplugged, locate the main fuse holder. Remove and test fuse for continuity using a multimeter.
Digital MultimeterStop conditions- fuse-blown-and-scorch-marks-visible-stop-and-escalate
- burning-smell-stop-and-do-not-reapply-power
Expected: Fuse shows continuity (near zero ohms).
Evidence to note: meter-reading

Investigate Short Before Fuse Replacement
operator-intermediatehighBefore replacing a blown fuse, visually inspect internal wiring for signs of short circuit: melted insulation, discolored connectors, water intrusion, or pinched harnesses.
FlashlightStop conditions- widespread-wiring-damage-stop-and-escalate
Expected: Root cause of short identified and documented.

Check Controller Power LED
operator-intermediatehighWith power restored, observe the main controller board for any power indication LED or display activity.
FlashlightStop conditions- burning-smell-from-controller-area-unplug-immediately
Expected: Controller LED is lit or display shows content.

Visual Product Position Check
operator-intermediatelowThrough the glass, examine the affected selection position. Is a product visible and properly seated in the spiral groove or belt channel?
FlashlightExpected: Product is correctly positioned with no visible obstructions.
Evidence to note: photo
- 7
Test the Affected Selection
operator-intermediatelowAttempt a test vend on the affected selection. Observe whether the motor turns, product moves, and whether the machine registers a successful or failed vend.
Stop conditions- motor-humming-loudly-stop-cycle-unplug
Expected: Spiral or pusher completes a full cycle and product falls.
Evidence to note: note
- 8
Remove and Inspect Tray
operator-intermediatelowWith machine powered off, carefully slide the affected tray out. Inspect for debris, broken spiral tines, belt damage, or pusher track obstructions.
FlashlightStop conditions- tray-resists-removal-do-not-force-may-damage-harness
Expected: Tray components move freely without binding.
Evidence to note: note
- 9
Check Motor Harness Connection
operator-intermediatelowWith tray removed, examine the motor harness connector for bent pins, corrosion, or loose fit. Confirm the connector is fully seated.
FlashlightExpected: Connector is clean, pins straight, and fully seated.

- 10
Check Motor Rotation
operator-intermediatelowWith tray reinstalled and power on, attempt a test vend while observing the motor at the affected position. Does the motor shaft rotate the expected amount?
Stop conditions- motor-hums-hot-to-touch-stop-cycle
Expected: Motor completes one full rotation cycle without hesitation.
Evidence to note: note

Basic Cooling Verification
operator-intermediatelowPlace a thermometer in the refrigerated section away from the door. Allow the machine to run undisturbed for at least 30 minutes. Record the temperature.

Clean Condenser Coil
operator-intermediatelowUnplug the machine. Using a coil brush and vacuum, carefully clean dust and debris from the condenser coil fins. Do not bend fins.
Qualified technician handoff: stop before live electrical testing, sealed-system refrigeration work, compressor service, or protected-compartment access unless a qualified technician is handling the work.

Where to find this
Use this as orientation before touching the machine. It is location help, not a repair instruction.
Start outside the machine at the outlet and cord, then identify the power entry area before any protected-compartment inspection.
