IMPORTANT:
REPAIRS & SERVICE are ONLY available for units with normal wear and tear. WE CANNOT service units that have been damaged beyond repair and/or vandalized. WE CANNOT service units that have been altered from their original state.
The repair turnaround of any SmartCoinBox is only 15 minutes or less during our shop's non-busy time also located in the heart of Mississauga Ontario. Since we designed and manufactured SmartCoinboxes, we can diagnose any malfunction in less than 60 seconds while on our repair bench. There are occasions though that we request our customers to leave their SmartCoinBox for further testing or what we call secondary burn-in test. We do not use 2nd or 3rd party group to repair the SmartCoinBox. We built it..we service it. Call us. Text us. E-mail us for help. It's FREE.
For some reason you feel like bringing in the SmartCoinBox to our shop for repair we request the landlords to check the troubleshooting guide below firts. Although SmartCoinBox is well designed and all possible malfunctions carefully analyzed, sample situations below will help end users troubleshoot the SmartCoinBox before they call or bring the box back to our shop.
1. Appliance Washer/Dryer not powered up ( No SmartCoinBox yet)
a. Check your panel circuit breaker. 15A single pole for washer and 30A double pole for dryer.
b. If circuit breaker is ON plug the appliance direct to your house outlet and if is still not powered up call an electrician.
NOTE: Electrical Safety Code states that ONE washer outlet for one washer only (15 A-safe zone) and ONE dryer outlet for ONE dryer only ( 30 A-safe zone). DO NOT OVERLOAD OR ADD AN EXTENSION CORD AND ADD MULTIPLE APPLIANCES as this may cause nuisance circuit breaker tripping, wire overheating or worsts a fire. SmartCoinbox is designed for ONE washer or ONE dryer only. NO OVERLOADING PLEASE.
2. LED not lit on countdown timer
a. Washer/Dryer working without the SmartCoinBox?
If yes make sure that the SmartCoinBox is plugged to the wall and the appliance plugged inside the SmartCoinBox
b. Possible blown fuse. Our UL/CSA listed power supply is equipped with self diagnostic LED (green). This advance Switch Mode Power Supply has a perforated metal cover. The LED is visible from outside. If the LED is OFF its possible that the fuse is open. Unplug the SmartCoinBox and contact us as soon as possible. Do not energize the SmartCoinBox again.

...first of all...did you OR anybody remove the mother/reference coin? ..if you did all coins you put in will keep on coming out!

a. Check diagnostic LED light at the back of the coin acceptor.
For older model (manufactured before March 2021) with LK100M+ coin acceptor. the LED color should be visible.
For newer model with "PUSH BUTTON" the LED color will only be visible
when you held down the button.
SOLID BLUE means mother/reference coin is in place (which is good.)
SOLID RED means the mother/reference coin is missing (need to put one back)
FLASHING RED means the module faulty ( may need replacement)
