Left popper (moat eject) not working
« on: May 07, 2016, 05:38:11 AM »
Hi all, my left popper (moat eject) stopped working tonight. I tested switch # 36 in single switch test and it reads as closed. When i do a switch edge test, and roll a ball into the left popper, it triggers switch 36 so I think the switch is working. I tried a solenoid test and none of my solenoids seem to be firing. Although when I start a game, and activate trolls or flippers, the solenoids are firing during game play. Any idea on where I start? I'm a novice at repairs.

Weird. Well I guess I fixed it. Not sure what I did but after all my tests a 2nd time, the left popper started working like normal. Now I'm just concerned about the solenoid test not firing in solenoid test mode. Any idea why they are not firing while testing?

 Make sure you have the coin door interlock switch pushed in or you don't get power to coils while testing with the coin door open.

Thanks Drew! That had to be it. I had the coin door open while testing

When testing, you can pull out the knob on the top white switch to enable testing with the coin door open.
