Vend Motor Diagnostic
This process helps determine if a vending motor is receiving the correct operational commands, if it is mechanically bound, or if it has an electrical failure.
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.
- burning-smell-or-hot-motor: Immediately unplug machine. Do not attempt further motor testing. Tag motor for replacement.
- If any electrical testing or motor diagnosis is required, immediately contact a qualified technician, as this involves high-voltage components.
