Coin Dispensing Troubleshooting
This section helps diagnose issues related to coin acceptance and dispensing, checking the coin path and mechanical communication before component replacement is necessary.
- Coin jam recurs repeatedly within short period: Evaluate whether coin path components are worn or bent; escalate to technician.
- Wrong coins keep appearing in tubes: Review coin sorting and routing setup; may require mech configuration adjustment by a technician.
- If coin jams are recurring or if the coin sorting mechanism appears misconfigured, escalate to a qualified technician for mechanical adjustment or component evaluation.
