  • Burning smell from motor area: Unplug machine immediately. Do not re-attempt vend. Tag motor as suspect and escalate to technician.
  • If the motor appears functional but the issue persists, internal electrical checks involving the vending mechanism require a qualified technician.
  • If the issue involves the motor or internal wiring, always have a qualified technician perform the diagnosis to ensure safety.
