I have tried 4 or 5 brands of water and they all seem to have that problem. I now order all my water from Pepsi and I raised the price to $1.25 and have had no complaints. I'm actually selling more water with the Pepsi brand name.

I do not mean to be funny here. but are there nickels in the coin mech when you try the bill acceptor. most machines will turn off the bill validator and go to a exact change only state when the coin mech runs low on nickels. We know your getting power to everything because it cycles and accepts change. when you try the coin mech did it give change back or did you use exact change?

let us know

Snack dude, thanks for the reply. Since posting last night I have worked on this machine and talked to the company that does my validators and coin mechs. We checked the machine and found out it is setup for the 9300 110 volt and I installed a refurb. I also located the origional ba30sa that was just refurbed and installed it. Same problem machine accepts coin, will payout coin but validator cycles once and led light flashes once then light on logic board goes out and val. won' accept bills and coin mech is full. I then took the validator to another exact machine a few miles away and put it in and it works like new in the other machine. I have inspected the harnesses and they all look ok. I checked the setup on the machine and it seems to be setup right and the dip switch on the logic board is set to serial. I don't know where to go from here. Ken
