Single Column Motor Failure Diagnostic
This procedure is designed to pinpoint why one specific product dispensing column fails to operate, even when all other columns are functioning correctly.
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.
- Motor area produces burning smell during test vend: Unplug machine immediately. Mark column out of service. Technician required.
- Repeated vend attempts cause machine controller to reset or display errors on other columns: Stop testing. Issue may be affecting other systems. Technician required.
- Because this involves high-risk components, a qualified technician must diagnose the motor failure, particularly if burning smells are detected.
