[Help] Royal GIII - double vending after cleaning in one column

TL:DR; cleaned a sticky column, now it double vends the Pepsi. How to fix it? Help!

Note: Sprite next to it for comparison, works as intended.

Details:

I got a Royal 550 Coke Wavefront as part of a deal. I test vended each column a bunch of times, no issues. The Pepsi column had a can leak out so I had to remove all the cans and clean the column. The syrup was also on the product stops, pivot, pivot end, and the anti-tilt spring that sits in-between the two product stops.

I wiped everything down clean.

I loaded a few cans back in. They sat well above the pivot and product stops. I started to test vend them.

The cans load into position. The short product stop drops the first can, then about 3/10 or 4/10's of a second later, the long product stop drops the second can.

No config changes, program changes, including no sdep changes, nothing.

Maybe I broke or moved the anti-tilt spring or rotated the pivot out of alignment?

All other columns are fine.

[Need photo 🙏] Royal 550 Coke Wavefront (RVCC-550-8) - where is the service mode button on the control board?

Can someone who has one in use, please help take a picture of the button and its location? I need to service the machine ASAP. Its on location and causing issues for customers.

​

I've never had this model before, and I couldn't find a specific service manual for this model (its lumped into other GIII manuals here and there).

​

I see in a manual where it's supposed to be, but on my control board, I don't see it. Maybe it was busted or something happened to it.

What are you using to lug product to the machine?

Any suggestions? What are you using?

I've been using a folding wagon and repurposed a couple of old, small sterile bins to load up cans, bottles. and snacks from mv SUV to the machines

Lately, I feel like I need to transition to something bigger as I have started to get higher volume locations or multi-machine locations
