The Advantages of Marwey’s Arcade Boxing Machines

Many common issues with mini claw machines can be fixed with some basic troubleshooting. ​Always unplug the machine before attempting any repairs.​

​

• ​Machine Won't Turn On:​​ Check that the power cord is securely plugged into both the machine and the wall outlet. Verify the outlet is working by testing it with another device.

•  

• ​Claw is Not Moving or is Stuck:​​ The most common cause is a jammed prize. Carefully open the front glass or door and remove any prizes blocking the claw's path. Also, check for any obvious obstructions in the gears or rails.

•  

• ​Claw is Weak and Won't Grab:​​ The grip strength may need adjustment. Many machines have a screw or a setting in the internal menu to adjust the claw's power. Consult your user manual for specific instructions. The claw pads might also be worn out and need replacement.

•  

• ​Buttons or Joystick Not Working:​​ This could be due to a loose internal connection. If you are comfortable, you can open the control panel to check for disconnected wires. Otherwise, contact the supplier for technical support or professional repair.

  For complex electrical issues, it's always best to consult the manufacturer or a qualified technician.
