For starters , this question has been asked many times before and there are even videos on the subject . But I'm still having issues with it and I'm wondering if there are any new tricks out there to help me ? The problem at hand are the workings of a 36621 Automatic refrigerated Milk Car . Sometimes the cans get stuck right where they are to drop down and at times they get jammed next to the little rubber man . So, has anyone come up with any new tricks or ideas on how to remedy these issues . I did try to bend the little tab that pushes the can to the "man" and that didn't help out as much as I would have liked . I'm working on a project and right now this problem is the only thing holding it up . Thanks in advance for any helpful information . Cheers .

Check the height and diameter of the cans. Mark and set aside the ones that get stuck.
All cans are not created equal.
I have found a little unmelted candle wax applied to the car floor, under the sweep arm the rubber man is attached to, does the trick. Works on this car as well as on the older ones.

I will keep this in mind . A little wax where the cans drop down can't hurt . Thanks .
one thing that makes the biggest difference is the amount of voltage applied to the car mechanism, you have to experiment and adjust the voltage and test to high a voltage and it will throw the can past the metal platform where the can is suppose to land and too little voltage and the mechanism wont even move the cans out of the car out of the door because the door wont open!
