What to Do When Your Vending Machine Loses Power

Sometimes vending machines may suddenly lose power, stopping all operations. This can be caused by power outages, faulty wiring, blown fuses, or internal electrical issues. A few simple checks can help restore service quickly.

Practical Steps to Solve Power Loss:

 
  1. Check the Power Source
    Ensure the outlet is working. Try plugging another device to confirm. Check for tripped circuit breakers.

  2. Inspect Cables and Plugs
    Look for frayed wires, loose plugs, or damaged cords. Replace or secure as needed.

  3. Check Fuses and Internal Power Components
    Some machines have internal fuses or breakers. Replace blown fuses following the manual instructions.

  4. Test the Machine
    Once power is restored, test vending operations to ensure proper function.

  5. Contact a Technician if Needed
    If issues persist after checks, contact a certified technician for inspection.
 
Safety & Preventive Tips

Always unplug the machine before inspecting electrical components. Avoid attempting internal repairs without proper knowledge or tools. Do not overload power outlets. Keep cords and plugs clean and dry.
