IVS Vend-IT vending machine

[fastlx]

I have a IVS Vend It machine and the coin hopper is always giving too much change? Put 1 dollar in the bill acceptor and hit cancel or refund and it dispenses 8 quarters? Or for change for a product it gives approx. double the amount. The coin hopper is fairly new, If I remove it and the coins, use compressed air to clean the hopper, etc. and put new coins in, it will work ok for a day or so and then go back to giving too much change. Any one else seen this before?

Thanks again. Vic

Define "fairly new". I've seen then have to be changed in a year or two and others last 10 years. I would recommend cleaning it thoroughly with rubbing alcohol and not just air. If it persists, then the pin mechanism that counts the coins is defective and the hopper will need to be replaced.

Thanks Dan, I will check it out this weekend.
