I have a Dixie Narco 501 that I recently acquired after it had sat up unused for two years. Seems to work well except that it will only vend columns 1-4. If you try to get it to vend a selection from columns 5-9, the display reads "try another selection". Any ideas?
amadeo1967,
If could please tell me if it is a single or multi-price Dixie Narco 501? (can each selection be set to a different price or do they all have to be set to one price) If it has a digital readout/display it is probably a multi-price. I need to know which it is and then I can help you.
Thanks for your response. Yes, it is a 501E multi price machine.
I figured out the problem... while the machine was sitting up, 5 of the vend motors locked up due to moisture. I pulled them out and cleaned them, then used powdered graphite to lubricate them and now they work fine. Thanks.
I got a Dixie Narco when I bought a business. Everything was working fine, but I changed the prices and then the unit stopped cooling. I don't know if I did something while changing the prices or it was just a coincidence. I do hear the compressor start up and then kick off right away.
Thanks for your help

fstwyBruce,
I just answered this question awhile back, here is the link to the same compressor problem: http://www.vend-resource.com/forum-topic/vendo-348-compressor-question
PS: In the future please post a new topic when asking a question, I almost didn't see this comment on an old topic.
