Laundry Coin Slot Stuck

NEVER use any kind of lubricant on the path that the coins go through. Just about any kind of lubricant will pick up dirt or lint very quickly and make a mess over time. This comment comes from 30 plus years(damn, that much?) experience in the coin vending business, of some kind or other. You can use silicon, such as WD-40, to clean the path way but then you have to remove all of the silicon. The best way to clean the coin paths is with warm, soapy water and a tooth brush. If there is any question of any residue being left on the coin mech, use alcohol to clean off that residue. Alcohol evaporates quickly and won't leave any residue behind. If the mech is clean to the eye, and no residue can be felt with the fingers, go after some sort of alignment problem. See Kitty's post below. I've also had some mechs that didn't seat correctly in the machine, causing them to not be aligned correctly in a vertical position. Hence, gravity wouldn't make the coin drop. |
There wasn’t a lot of room to work with, but an x-acto blade, slid into the slot next to the coin, was able to move the coin upright. The coin slot went in, deposited its coins, and started the wash. WHAT WAS THE CULPRIT? Jammed laundry coinslot at apt? I have called the management company over and over again to no avail. I need to do laundry desperately because I fogged my apartment today and now I cannot wash. Is there a way to bypass the coin slot? For those who don't know the inside of a coin laundry machine, when the coin tray is pressed in all the way a arm pushes the timer spring loaded lever back and allows the tray to move the timer forward engaging the machine. Simply removing the coin part would allow me to do the same function with out the need for the coins.
