Bill Acceptor Repair FAQ

Is a bill acceptor the same as a bill validator?

Yes. Bill acceptor, bill validator, and dollar bill acceptor are interchangeable terms for the device that authenticates and stacks paper currency in a vending machine.

Why is my bill acceptor rejecting bills?

Common causes include dirty optical sensors, worn belts, a full stacker, or denomination settings that do not match the bills being inserted. Newer currency designs can also cause problems for older validators.

What does a flashing light on my bill validator mean?

Most validators report faults through a flash code, such as a jam, a full stacker, or a sensor error. If clearing the bill path and emptying the stacker does not clear the code, the validator should be sent in for diagnosis.

Is it worth repairing an older bill acceptor?

In most cases, yes. A professional repair typically costs a fraction of a new validator. If a repair is not cost-effective for your unit, we will let you know before any work begins.

How much does a bill acceptor repair cost?

Pricing depends on the make, model, and condition of the validator. Call 770-939-6740 for a quote.

What is the typical turnaround time?

Most bill acceptor repairs are completed within 7 business days of receipt.

Are bill acceptor repairs covered by a warranty?

All bill acceptor repairs carry an 90 day parts and labor warranty.
