Title: noisy machine
Post by: ademster on July 29, 2016, 05:56:05 AM

my red white and Blue machine is very noisy after the reels stop. loud hum.

If I slightly hit the side of the machine it stops.

I believe it is coming from the reels but not 100%

Any ideas?

After inserting a coin in does the noise stop?

I don't know I haven't tried. We have Bout 3k in credit so never put coins in because we have young kiddos that like to put small objects into their mouths. :banghead:

Press the "bet one credit" button until you've reached the maximum number of coins the machine will take for a single spin (usually 2 or 3, depending on your game), but don't spin yet.  Does the buzzing stop then once you've reached the maximum coins (credits) in?

If so, as Ohio Gaming was getting at, the sound is likely the solenoid for the coin diverter in your coin-in assembly.

I put one credit in no change, did 2 more one bets to do max bet and it goes quiet.

It's the coin diverter solenoid as stated above. Home users generally unplug it and stuff something behind the rake it operates to hold it open

I unplugged the whole coin accept er for now it is quiet.

I will take it off and undo the solenoid later.

Hi Kevin

I'm having this problem too with one of my machines (just happened tonight while sitting idle, the machine starting making that terrible noise like something was running/clicking).  Anyways, I found your previous post where you helped someone out.

I seen the user "cowboygames" comments too, but he's been off line for a couple of months and I thought you could help.

The steps you posted worked and made it go quite!  Thanks!!

Is that wire to unplug the one behind everything in the coin assembly?  I would guess the coin assembly is pulled off for access.

Is that part something of importance and should be replaced?  I'm in the early stages of learning about my recently acquired machines.

Any info or guidance is greatly appreciated.

Jim
