Coin operated machines: slide mechanism is not moving back.

I had a coin washer and dryer.The slider has little fingers(metal)that slide over the coins.If the coin isn't placed and the slider is pushed hard will jam. Mine had a side cover with a lock. Open that and there is a long rod that has to be unscrewed to remove the lock box,then you should is what went wrong.Hope this helps>

SPRAY IT WITH W-D 40 AND THEN HIT IT HARD ,IT SHOULD COME BACK IF THE COIN YOU PUT IN IS NOT BENT.

My coin op washer was overfull with quarters by tenants until the coin slide jammed. I emptied it and the slide was still jammed i could not unjam it! I got some help then I tipped the washer back (had to undo the water emptying hose from the back) then I shook the washer and I could hear the coins shaking inside. So I sprayed WD40 in the slide slots and where the slide lever was stuck pushed in then I shook the machine back and forth while on its back legs, while someone else pushed and pulled the slide lever back and forth with the little movement that it had. We took the coin box out so we could see if anything happened. And sure enough a quarter fell out into the coin box area, then another and a couple more. We tried tipping the machine onto the front legs and side to side but the back legs worked best. We shook it more and the coins started to have the WD40 on them when they came out but slider was still jammed and when we started to lose hope another coin came out and the lever pushed in and came out! The six coins that had been in the slots fell into the coin area and the machine came on!!! All together there were 21 coins that had been jammed up inside above the six coins in the slide! We reattached the hose to the machine. It's fine now.
