Ive got a AP LCM5 that I got a call about today for the drinks not being cold. Well the machine had been pushed up aginst the wall and the front screen was clogged slam up. I got those problems straight and the compressor kicked on. All fans are working and the high pressure line in back is getting good and hot. The compressor ran for just a couple of minutes and then kicks off, but the machine had not gotten cold enough. Well I started trouble shooting and came across this "timmer" looking thing that is tied into the thermostat. I played with it until I got voltage out and the compressor kicked back on. Now for my question. What the heck is the "timmer" looking thing? A defrost timmer I would guess. What is it called? How is it supposed to be set? Can I bypass it and run straight of the thermostat?

All of your help will be greatly appreciated.

This machine is starting to annoy the crap out of me. I had problems with this machine a few months go. The problem is it will take a bill and keep it in escrow. Shows you have credit. Press a button and nothing happens and you loose your credit. If you wait 30 seconds to 30 minutes it will spit your bill out on the floor (sometimes). It had a Mars VFM3 Val. in it so I put a Brand New Mars (grey plastic) Val. in it. Had same problem so I put a new harness in it and have same problem. I called DN and they said I had a board problem. So I put a new Board in it. All this happened a few months ago. Well I have noticed I haven't been getting many bills from this machine so I went and checked it out today. I caught the guys on break and talked with them about the machine and they said it has been doing this ever since I put the new board in, but not as bad as it did before I put the new board in. Any of yall had a similar problem with this controller?

Not sure off the top of my head but I wonder if I can put MDB acceptors in this machine? I know I will need another harness.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated here!

Hi to all. I have been asked to work on an old Lance machine I believe its a USI 25 selection. It has a Coinco DN150-9802 changer (jones plug) in it that seems to be the problem. My question is what other changer could I install in this machine that would work? A single price would be fine being they only use 1 price any ways.

Thanks,
JC
