Motor Turns But Product Does Not Dispense
This focuses on mechanical troubleshooting to determine why a product fails to drop or dispense even when the motor successfully actuates.
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.
- If the motor runs but the product still fails to dispense, this often points to mechanical binding or sensor failure, requiring a qualified technician for precise adjustment.
