Wont accept any coins ?

[pandaanda]

I have got a lucozade bottle vending machine and it has suddenly decided not to accept any coins, none of the selections are jammed as they all vend fine on test vends, the coin validater seems to have power as there are three led's on it ,one with a green tick not lit up , one with an exclamation mark not lit up and one with a cross on it , this one is flashing on and off. no matter what coin i put in it just goes straight through to the reject coin tray.
Any help would be appreciated as this is a very busy site and i dont want to upset them.
Cheers

Probably coin jam or coin routing problem, remove acceptor and clean + check no coins stuck in mech anywhere or got routed wrong but would hazard a guess coin is stuck in acceptor.

forgot to say push the 4 buttons from the left one at a time and make sure a coin ejects ok on each one.

Thanks Matt , ive just been back and done all the things you said but still no luck, i cant see anything stuck in there and i pushed all the buttons one by one and it ejected a coin each time. I dont have a clue about these machines , i only have two drinks machines and never had a problem before. What next , do i need a service engineer !

As its mdb protocol it could be machine disabling mech or acceptor is knackered , ring coin solutions Monday ask for Darren tell him I passed on details , he can tell you if it's mech or machine, if its mech they can sort for you or just ebay an Mdb mech, Best go for a cash flow as they are most reliable mechs

Just wondering why your only charging 60p for your drinks pete!!!

do these have a ribbon cable running off mech? sounds like that or coin mech needs reprogramming?

Machine is at a busy riding school but they were moaning drinks like lucozade were too expensive at £1.20 a bottle so i now put in cheap drinks like happy shopper citrus drinks pm 55p cost 31p at bookers sell at 60p. also put in pepsi , pepsi max , 7up , etc all cost me around 39p from home bargains and sell at £1.
Done a deal where because i now supply them with cheap drinks they no longer get any commision from this machine, so everyones happy
