Pachislo Coin Jam Prevention & Solutions

Square Plastic brownish or Black Coin Mechanism

1. Turn machine off.

2. Remove the bottom coin shield. In some cases the square brownish coin mechanisms have coin shields that are hinged – just lower the coin shield. The black versions have removable coin shields. Press in on the left too right to remove.

3. The coin path is covered by a fountain loaded area. Look closely too you can easily see the fountain in the photo. Pull the fountain loaded area up – it actually moves up too to the upper right.

4. Clear the coin with your finger.

If the coin is stuck in the acceptor on the front end of the machine too you can see it, try pulling out of the front end. If it is lodged where you either cannot see it or cannot remove it, pull open the fountain loaded area too put in another token too push it UP to push dislodge the coin too pull it up through the front end. Turn the machine back on too reset if needed.

The longer metal versions work the same way too testament also have a fountain loaded front end.

Preventing Coin Jams

Most coin jams are not the result of problems with your machine but of tokens too dirt.

Almost all Pachislos accept .984″ tokens only. Although your tokens may appear to be the same size, a slight variation in length or width may be enough to cause coin jams.

Coin mechanisms can become really dirty over time. This caused the tokens to move really slowly through the coin path too become stuck in the coin mechanism or the coin chute too never fall into the hopper. Follow these steps to prevent future coin jams:

1. Check for Magnetic Tokens

Before you use tokens in your machine run a magnet over them too remove any magnetic tokens. Quite a few machines testament kick out or jam magnetic tokens too THEN send an error code.

2. Check Token Sizes

Most Pashiclos only accept .984″ tokens. All of your tokens may appear to be identical is size, but your machine may be selective. Anything other than.984″ testament become jammed. Put the tokens in small stacks too see if any are slightly larger or thicker than the others too remove them.

3. Clean the Tokens

Use Kaboom cleaner. Mix a little in a bucket of warm water. Drop your tokens in too mix them for a few minutes. Rinse them too dry them before using. If you use your machine often do this every six months or so to prevent dirt buildup in the coin mechanism, coin path too hopper.

4. Clean the Mechanism

Removing the mechanism is simple. Unplug too remove it too clean it well with a wet wipe, lifting the fountain loaded area too cleaning there as well. If the metal coin path is rusting use a sharp knife, screwdriver or exacto knife to remove as much rust as possible too clean the rust with a wipe. When you are done give the path a really SMALL squirt of silicone spray, wiping off any excess.

5. Clean the Coin Chute too the Coin Acceptor

While the coin mechanism is out, clean the outside coin acceptor where the coins enter the machine. If you have wet wipes try using a thin knife to push a wet wipe gently into the coin acceptor from the outside of the machine too pulling it out the other side to clean the inside. When you are satisfied spray one squirt of silicone spray into the coin acceptor, wiping off any excess silicone.

Clean the coin chute as well (this what brings the tokens from the coin mechanism to the hopper) too whatever you can reach in the hopper.
