EFL8 Error Code (Incorrect Motor Count)

Our Elevator vending machines are designed with the latest technology to gently deliver fragile items like yogurt, salads, sandwiches and more! These machines are refrigerated so the food will remain fresh for your customers. 

This video seeks to educate the reader on the steps to troubleshoot an EFL 8 Error Code.

Here’s how to fix an out of service machine because of an EFL8 error code . Push the service mode button on the machine control board to put the machine in service mode. 

Then press 2 to perform a motor count. Check to see if the motor count corresponds with the number of trays in the machine. If this doesn’t match check that all the trays are correctly plugged into the machine harness. If the controller  detects a mismatch between the number of trays connected and the number of tray magnets seen  it will go out of service. 

If it was necessary to plug-in one or more trays repeat the motor count step, exit service mode by pressing the *star key and then close the door to see if the elevator resets correctly.
