5H00283 - Hopper, Mctm, 2.0K, Nickel - Standard Changer-Makers

Genuine replacement coin hopper or hopper component for change machines and coin dispensers. The hopper is the electromechanical assembly that stores a coin supply and dispenses exact coin counts on command from the machine control board. Hoppers use a rotating disc and sensor system to count and eject individual coins. Available in multiple capacities (2K, 3.2K, 4.2K, 5.2K, 6.2K, 9K, 10K coin capacity) and coin diameters for quarters, dollars, tokens, and foreign coins.

⚠ Installation Note

Match hopper coin diameter and voltage (12V or 24V) to your machine specification before ordering.

Q: What hopper capacity do I need?

A: Hopper capacity refers to the number of coins the hopper holds (e.g., 3.2K = ~3,200 coins). High-volume locations (laundromats, car washes) typically need higher-capacity hoppers to reduce refill frequency. Verify the coin diameter specification matches the coins you are dispensing quarter, dollar, and token diameter hoppers are not interchangeable.

Q: My hopper is dispensing the wrong count how do I diagnose?

A: First clean the optical exit sensor with a cotton swab dust and debris on the sensor lens is the most common cause of count errors. If cleaning does not resolve, check the sensor alignment and wiring harness. If the disc is worn or the exit aperture is damaged, a replacement hopper assembly is required.
