Greenwald Coin Box 8-1170-0-6 — No Longer Available from Manufacturer
Greenwald Industries part 8-1170-0-6 is a commercial laundry coin box assembly featuring the UG800 GI Lock Q mechanism that has been discontinued. This part is no longer available through Greenwald Industries or authorized OEM distributors. If your coin-operated laundry equipment requires this coin box, a used, compatible or alternative-source component may be the only available option.
The 8-1170-0-6 coin box is used in coin-operated commercial washers and dryers to accept, validate and retain coins as payment for laundry cycles. A failed or missing coin box prevents the machine from accepting payment and initiating a cycle.
Before sourcing an alternative, confirm the complete equipment model number, coin mechanism type and lock configuration. Similar-looking coin boxes may differ in coin denomination acceptance, lock cylinder type, mounting arrangement or electrical interface.
🔧 Common Symptoms of a Failed Coin Box
- Machine does not start after coins are inserted
- Coins inserted but cycle does not initiate
- Coin mechanism jams or coins are not accepted
- Coin box door does not lock or latch correctly
- Coins fall through without registering payment
Note: Confirm the coin mechanism, wiring harness and control board are functioning before replacing the coin box assembly.

⚙️ Installation Notes
Skill Level: MODERATE — 15–30 minutes. Disconnect electrical power to the machine before accessing the coin box assembly. The coin box typically mounts to the front panel or control housing with screws or a slide-lock bracket. Disconnect the wiring harness, remove the mounting hardware, install the replacement unit, reconnect the harness and restore power to confirm operation. Confirm lock cylinder, mounting pattern and wiring connector compatibility before ordering any alternative part.
💡 Pro Tip
Greenwald coin boxes are available in multiple lock configurations — GI Lock Q, GI Lock R, and others — and these are not interchangeable. Before sourcing a used or alternative coin box, confirm the exact lock type stamped on the original unit. Also verify the coin denomination setting and slide configuration match your equipment. Send us your equipment model and lock type and we’ll help identify the closest available alternative.
