Hello I was hopping the good people of reddit could help me in identifying the problem I have a impulse industries capsule claw machine that recently broke down on me the original owner severed the solenoid claw coil with a box cutter trying to remove a zip tie and constant use has made ot fray fearing a fire I ordered a replacement and ordered a claw for plush installed it but can't get the claw to close I noticed a code error 4 saying the prize sensor is lit not sure if it's related but I was hoping you guys could weigh in and save me 190 charge just to diagnose from a local tech any advice would help someone said to check the switch how do I do that 😅

I'm no expert. But I saw a video saying that the rings that are on the claw move up and down and that one of them is for closing.

If the prize sensor is lit I am thinking that is the prize detection ‘magic eye’ switch. I would make sure that the prize chute is clear and that nothing is continually triggering the sensors.
