Max Bet button sticking.

[scooby_doo_m2002]

My max bet button is sticking on my Street Cats machine. I was wandering how to get the button out to clean it? looks as if I would just pry it, but it is going to take more prying than I wanna pry for the fear of breaking it. Is there a cleaner that I can spray around the button to loosen it up a bit without hurting the machine?

Thanks...

It probably has crud built up.
Best way is to open the door, unplug it and unscrew the big bezel ring/nut and take it apart and give it a good cleaning .
or without dis assembly you could try to spritz with tiny amount of light mineral oil, like electric razor lube or Spray stainless steel cleaner. A tiny bit really.

contact cleaner sprayed around the button while pressing it a lot, make sure you have the machine shut off !!!!!!!

there usually is a big plastic nut inside that you can take off to remove the button if you have too. I used long channel locks to get to mine to loosen it up.

the small circuit board pops off the bottom to disassemble the button for better cleaning

Looked at it better and had one of the things where you squeeze each side and it came right out.....

It appeared to be all one piece so I added a couple drops of electric razor oil to it......

would recomend silicon spray it wont damage anything besides being a lubricant it is non conductive .

I take it that was a bad idea jc1444?

Hey it worked!!!

oil can destroy rubber components as well as conduct electricity.

rot row raggy!!!!!!!!

a little contact cleaner to flush it out then a little silicone spray and all will be right!! remember to do all this with the power off!!!

I'm not so sure about using contact cleaner, some contain solvents that will damage plastic. Check the label to see if it's safe for plastic or else you just might glue the button together.

i wouldn't use contact cleaner you aren't getting to the contacts anyway unless you take it apart completely your just trying to free the button of grime build up from tons of fingers the silicone spray will do it nicely . if you decide to tear it down completely then you might want to use the contact cleaner sparingly

I had similar thought about using contact cleaner. I have a can here now.
Most razor oils are just scented mineral oil, manly smelling baby oil. LOL The Kontact Restorer I use is Chemtronics brand it is safe for most plastics and elastomers, it cleans and lubes all types of electronic contacts. so it should be able to clean and lube the non electrical parts of the button as well. Most guys shave but most don't have Kontact resoter handy.
it is spelled with a K on the can
