Laundry Coin Slot Stuck
- Jammed laundry coinslot at apt? I have called the management company over and over again to no avail. I need to do laundry desperately because I fogged my apartment today and now I cannot wash. Is there a way to bypass the coin slot?
- There wasn’t a lot of room to work with, but an x-acto blade, slid into the slot next to the coin, was able to move the coin upright. The coin slot went in, deposited its coins, and started the wash. WHAT WAS THE CULPRIT?
- Get shopping advice from experts, friends and the community! I have a Kenmore coin operated washer model number 0. It worked great, but power was off for 2 weeks and now the washer won't start.

NEVER use any kind of lubricant on the path that the coins go through. Just about any kind of lubricant will pick up dirt or lint very quickly and make a mess over time. This comment comes from 30 plus years(damn, that much?) experience in the coin vending business, of some kind or other. You can use silicon, such as WD-40, to clean the path way but then you have to remove all of the silicon. The best way to clean the coin paths is with warm, soapy water and a tooth brush. If there is any question of any residue being left on the coin mech, use alcohol to clean off that residue. Alcohol evaporates quickly and won't leave any residue behind. If the mech is clean to the eye, and no residue can be felt with the fingers, go after some sort of alignment problem. See Kitty's post below. I've also had some mechs that didn't seat correctly in the machine, causing them to not be aligned correctly in a vertical position. Hence, gravity wouldn't make the coin drop. |
Laundry Coin Slot Stuck Buttons
However, if your school has older machines, quarters getting stuck in the slot is a likely pitfall. The quickest solution? Choose the correct laundry settings. All of those buttons and knobs! If this is your first time doing your laundry in college, the washer and dryer may seem only slightly less complicated than your calculus. Answer (1 of 4): I have a stuck coin slide on my coi-op washer, GE manufacturer. I was told you have to remove a arm or spring. I see both, the arm has two standard screws holding it in place.
