klix dilemma

[alc]

Any Klix vending machine experts here. Desperately need assistance.

Hi, What is the problem and what machine is it? - Outlook, 450, 900?

[r1ot]

we had one of those in the office we found if you kicked in just the right place you got a free vend. Although I do remember the vegetable soup did look like sick.

Its a klix 3000. Water heats up ok, water chills ok but on closing the door carousel fails to turn in readiness to vend. Call operater keeps appearing.

Sounds like a Cup Jam - that has then locked the Carousel.

Take out all the cup stacks, and clear any obstruction to the Splitter mechanism - located above the hole where the cup falls through to the Black Arm.

There are 2 motor drives - 1 for the rotating Carousel and another for the Blak Arm. Ran from a Cam drive. If a Cup jam has blocked either machanism, the machine will go P.C.O.

The machine might try and clear itself when the cups are removed. You can operate the machine with the door open... Push a stubby screwdriver in the Square hole top right if the cabinet - (door closed switch)

Be aware the machine is LIVE. you can gently give the arm a nudge to clear the jam or lock up.

HTH..!

Just what is the point of suggesting something useful! Just tell him MX-5, and job done!


(Seriously though, well done on giving assistance, esp on a sunday morning!)

Thanks for coming back to me. The carousel spins freely. no cup jam. I have put some cup stacks in so the machine will register their presence. All accessories are in place e.g drip tray etc.

I have now found that the motor for the cup arm does not seem to have power. Should the micro switch near the cup dispenser action the arm. Also tried the switch on the motor itself does not switch the motor on.

How long have you been waiting for this topic to come up?

Brilliant I needed a laugh

Bookmarked for future updates.

Slightly off topic, but do they still do them talking Klix machines? I remember one in about 1985 at a railway station and it was pretty magical to a 13 year old, the talking bit I mean.

But it was flipping annoying in the "buffet".

Ok, apologies for resurrecting an old thread;

Just acquired a Klux Outlook 600 machine for cheap. Problem is that none of the lights or digital display on the door want to turn on. It's like there's simply zero power to the boards on the door.

Other stuff seems to work - water heats up, carousel turns, etc but nothing on the door operates.

Anyone got any suggestions as to what to look for.

Is that the model that only makes white coffee?

Thread hijack but I've got the warnings "engine 1 flameout, stall, stall, terrain, terrain, pull up, pull up". Any tips?
