Choice vend HELP! Hi there new guy here just got my first Coke machine yesterday

[Mental Health]

Thanks guys I should have mentioned in my first post that the machine is currently filled to the max in all four rows and all of the low product sensors are functioning correctly.  This is really strange it seems to be getting power from the bottom plug on the relay box (coming from the motors).  Like I stated above I hooked up the free play button and as soon as you push it to activate the hold relay it will drop a can from #4 I don't even get a chance to make a selection.

One other thing I did last night was come up with an alternate solution, as a last resort if I can't figure this out I was thinking I could rewire the relay box so that you just hold down your selection until the can drops.  I don't really want to do it this way and was hoping that maybe someone here would be able to tell me what is wrong with this machine.  At least if I do decide to rewire it I can at least get it to dispense any product instead of just one.

Nobody has any info?

Without a wiring diagram, this can be a difficult to trouble shoot or correct...
I personally have no experience on Choice Vend models, but having a diagram would allow me to assist in some way...

Thanks Jim I will see what I can come up with.

Think I found the problem does anyone have one of these switches or know where I can get one in the Dallas Texas area?



Here are some random shots of my machine...

Also I want to lube up the gears for the vend motors what is the best lube to use for them?

Right now I am just using the coke box as a fridge LOL until I find a ne switch, I am about 98% sure that that switch is my problem.  It does not make a clicking sound like the others and it does not ohm out as it should so I am pretty excited that I think I found the problem!!

No idea on the switch but white lithium spray should be fine for the gears.

If my memory serves me, this type of switch may be available from Grainger. It's a standard size and N.O./N.C. contact switch...
Sad part of this is that I probably have one, somewhere...
