Have a problem somehow associated with the bill unit. I bought 2 bill units now thinking the problem was the bill unit.

Problem: Will accept coins fine and dispense. Will not take bills. "Use correct change" light is lit, but Mars changer ( escrow unit ) is full of all 5,10 and 25 cent coins.

Any ideas ? I know nothing about soda machine repair. Bill units are MArs VFM3 's .

Thanks,
Dave.
 
Sounds like the changer is lieing to the bill accepter. Try swapping out the coin changer.

Do you get any trouble indication LED blinks on your bill unit? I have a Vendo that CONSTANTLY goes offline after I fill the coin changer. The bill unit shows DISABLED BY COIN UNIT. I have to unplug and re-plug the bill unit, and then it works fine. I assume this is an issue with my coin changer, but since I can fix it, I have not bothered replacing the coin unit.

No blinkiong led's here, it's an old VFM model bill unit ( they don't have led's ). I was thinking it was the changer/totalizer myself, but I don't have another one to swap out.
