Maytag Skybox does not dispense - I recently purchased a used Skybox Vending Machine. It works great, with the exception of the buttons do not trigger the machine to dispense.

It appears that when the lights are turned on that all four of the lights come on, but I cannot tell if they are coming on by themselves, or if it is just the main lights flowing into the lights. When I press any of the buttons, I do not hear anything triggering and nothing happens with the lights. I have been reading some of the fixes on here, but they are a decade old in some cases. Wondering if anyone has a good fix for this now. Thanks!

SOURCE: Maytag Skybox dispenser

read a post that said to manipulate the sensor a little, but when I found out where the sensor was (it is in the back of the door, behind the panel just to the right of the opening and the flap behind two screws) I found that there was nothing wrong with the sensor at all. The problem was simply that my door flap was not closing completely (and thus not tripping the sensor). It seems that if the door does not close completely that the machine thinks that there is a jam. I held the flap down completely and pushed the button and out came a drink from any button. I cleaned the flap and lubricated it with a little WD40 and BAM, back in business. I could not believe it was something so simple. It took two minutes to fix! Hope your has the same so it can be that simple.

CAN A SKYBOX 'MAYTAG' BE PERMENENTLY INSTALLED OUTSIDE

The Maytag SkyBox is not a commercial vending machine. It is designed for INDOOR use only. The possibility of electric shock is likely from a unit that has gotten wet. In addition, the electronics are not designed to withstand the outdoor elements.

Maytag Skybox

Looks like I found the answer to the problem of Skybox not dispensing. I replaced the sensor in the dispensing door and my Skybox now works great!
Part is available from partselect.com just look up your Skybox model number, mine was Skybox model MBV1976AAB. The diagram on the website should show you the exploded view of the door section of your Skybox. You are looking for partselect.com part number 901892 or on the exploded view it will be number 21. The Maytag part number is 11001182, board flipper sensor. My Skybox had been down for two years and now works again!

Beer won't dispense, last one furthest to the right.

Have you checked the child-lock buttons?  They are located on the right side of the machine and are accessible only when the door is opened.

Maytag Skybox Beverage Dispenser/Refrigerator

TroJo, Try PartSelect.com for Skybox parts. I ordered a part on Monday night and installed it on Wednesday night. The parts are not that hard to find. Appliance repair services can replace your compressor or add freon. Be sure you have plenty of ventilation behind your machine. Jonmon
