As a laundromat owner you know there is nothing more frustrating than having a coin jammed in one of your machines. Whether the cause of the jam is a damaged coin or a worn out slide mechanism, remedying the problem can be easy if you know how to take the machine apart to get to the stuck coin. If you need a new or used vended dryer or vended commercial washer in Charleston, SC, make the call to T & L Laundry Equipment for big savings.
Ideally, a stuck coin should dislodge from the chute with a press of the coin return button. However, when that doesn't do the trick, there are a few tried and true things you can try to get that coin to move before you take the assembly apart.
If the coin slide, rather than the coin, is the issue you may need to disassemble the coin acceptor. Follow these steps to correct the issue:
The offending coin or debris should be able to be clearly seen at this point. Once you have cleared the slot, test the mechanism with a fresh coin before you reassemble the mechanism.
HOMEMADE COIN MECHANISMS. The simplest is a horizontal slot with a gentle slope behind. The slope has a bit of wire running down each side.
It is important to note the placement of any nuts, screws, connections, or other parts as you disassemble the coin slide. If the problem continues, the mechanism may need to be replaced. The good news is that since you know how to remove it, you can replace it.
