Maintenance intervals for vending machines
Are there fixed maintenance intervals?
No. The maintenance intervals are very individual, as they depend on many different variables. These include, for example, whether the vending machine is located outdoors or indoors and also how much the vending machine is used.
However, the manufacturer of our vending machines, TCN, generally recommends the following maintenance intervals:
| Maintenance Interval. | Task Description. | Examples. |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly. | Basic maintenance tasks requiring minimal tools, such as cleaning, inventory management, and functionality checks. |
|
| Quarterly. | A thorough inspection, cleaning, and testing of the machines every three months. |
|
| Annually. | Yearly maintenance to extend the machine’s lifespan and ensure optimal performance. |
|
| Immediate. | Immediate repairs required to fix downtime caused by cash handling or network connection issues. |
