S+ Newbie 3300 error

[galaga]

Hello
This is my first attempt to repair a slot machine
I have an IGT s+ triple diamond
error code is flashing 3300 then 17, looks like it tried to pay out
Hopper has about 10 quarters in it, it spits out one or none then flashes,
Do not have the reset key, I have opened and closed the door serveral times
I have pushed the white self test, but not sure what the out put means, nor how many times I should press the button
Thanks for any help !!!

Put some quarters in the machine (assuming it is a quarter machine/hopper) and let it finish the cash-out. 


The machine will not be playable until whatever amount was cashed out has been paid. No need to mess with the test button etc. Let us know if there are any error codes after payout. Should be good to go.

Is the hopper trying to pay? Can you hear it run? If not you may have a hopper jam and will need to check to see if you can turn the hopper by hand. Sometimes people throw pocket change in the bowl and a dime or nickel gets stuck. If it is spinning then stopping then you need more coins in it. Like Harvs said it has to pay out the coins. It will only run for like 3 coins not paid before shutting down.

As linked to in the FAQ for IGT Error (Tilt) Codes and Resolutions (here), 3300 is a Hopper Empty error.  The machine is trying to pay out however many credits were on the meter when someone hit the "Cash Out" or "Cash/Credit" button (depending on the legend insert), and has decided that there aren't any more coins in the hopper since it hasn't seen a coin exit the machine in "x" number of seconds.

You mentioned that the machine does pay out one or sometimes no coins after you close the door.  Although 10 coins in the hopper is a pretty low amount, it should be able to pay out most of them.  Chances are that the hopper knife is either broken or misaligned, causing the coins in the hopper to not be diverted to the hopper exit.  As the hopper spins and no coins exit, the machine then assumes that the hopper is empty and throws that error code.

Search in this section for posts about the hopper knife to learn its function in the hopper and how you can try to adjust it to get it to pick up the coins in the hopper from the shelf wheel.

As Harvs said, the machine just needs to finish its current cash-out right now.  You cannot stop that by pressing the self test button or turning the jackpot reset key.

Filling up the hopper fixed the issue


Thank you all very much !!!!!!!


Do you have any recommendations for setting this up for home use ? Is there a place you would recommend to buy tokens ?

There's a topic for typical home use settings at the top of this page. I can't help with tokens, sorry.
