As a laundromat owner you know there is nothing more frustrating than having a coin jammed in one of your machines. Whether the cause of the jam is a damaged coin or a worn out slide mechanism, remedying the problem can be easy if you know how to take the machine apart to get to the stuck coin. If you need a new or used vended dryer or vended commercial washer in Charleston, SC, make the call to T & L Laundry Equipment for big savings.

Ideally, a stuck coin should dislodge from the chute with a press of the coin return button. However, when that doesn't do the trick, there are a few tried and true things you can try to get that coin to move before you take the assembly apart.

• Put another coin into the slot and attempt to use this action to dislodge the stuck coin.
• Slap the side of the machine where the coin slot is located to get the coin to move.
• Place a piece of wood or something to protect the finish of the machine and tap on the wood with a hammer to unjam the coin. Use caution not to hammer so hard that you cause damage to the machine. A gentle vibration may loosen the coin.
• If the coin has tipped inside the coin slot, the coin slot may not move. Using a utility knife to push the coin upright may allow it to pass through normally.
• Attempt to pull the coin out of the slot with tweezers.

All you need is a smartphone that gives you Quarter Stuck In Coin Slot Washing MachineInternet access via 3G, 4G, LTE, or Wi-Fi. Most of my jams on the vertical slides have been due to bent or damaged coins. Remove the coin mech from the washer, then unscrew and remove the cover over the coins. You may need a pair of pliers to pull the bent coin out of its slot. While you have the mech out tighten the four screws that the mech 'hangs' on when mounted in the machine.

If the coin slide, rather than the coin, is the issue you may need to disassemble the coin acceptor. Follow these steps to correct the issue:

• Remove the coin store tray and empty it. Check to see if anything is blocking the coin shoot inside.
• Take off the maintenance panel on the top face of the coin slide housing. The panel is usually locked in the back with a key.
• Remove the long bolt that runs from the maintenance panel to the front of the housing.
• Disconnect any wiring from the slot mechanism and carefully free the mechanism from the housing.

The offending coin or debris should be able to be clearly seen at this point. Once you have cleared the slot, test the mechanism with a fresh coin before you reassemble the mechanism.

It is important to note the placement of any nuts, screws, connections, or other parts as you disassemble the coin slide. If the problem continues, the mechanism may need to be replaced. The good news is that since you know how to remove it, you can replace it.

How does a smart card system work?

Fundamentally a smart card system is a secure electronic 'token' system for business owners who need to eliminate cash from their laundry rooms. Instead of using quarters, your customers insert a proprietary card that stores value on a secure microchip that issues the vend to start the washers and dryers. To re-value the smart card your customers can do so at a Add Value Station installed in a secure location on your property or via a secure internet website.
