Action
The fuser may not be fusing correctly or not fusing
at all.
Disconnect the fuser heater cable CN602 from the
power supply. Check for continuity of the heater
(11G0348 115 V, 11G0549 230 V), thermostat
(11G0349), and thermal fuse. The thermostat must
equal 240K Ohms at 25 degrees C (room
temperature).
Replace the failing part.
With the paper exit cover interlock activated, check
for approximately 120 V or approximately 240 V on
connector CN602 pin 1 and 2.
Be sure connector CN119 is securely pugged into
the printer controller board.
If the problem remains, unplug connector CN119
and short pins 1 and 2 on the connector together
with the power on. If an error code displays, replace
the printer controller board. If no error displays,
replace the Thermistor (11G0353).
Be sure the two large springs that hold the fuser
rollers together are securely in place.
Be sure the fuser roll and the press roller are not
dirty or damaged. Replace as necessary.
Be sure the detach fingers are not dirty, damaged,
or out of position. Replace as necessary.
Be sure the fuser mounting guides are adjusted for
proper paper exit tracking. Replace as necessary.
