Service Manual
Action
If the fuser lamp comes on and a fuser failure light error code displays, be sure
the thermistor is contacting the hot roll, and the thermistor cable is firmly seated
in connector J2 on the controller card.
Check for excessive toner buildup on the surface of the thermistor. Clean as
necessary.
With the printer unplugged, disconnect the thermistor cable from J2 on the
controller card.
Measure the resistance of the thermistor. The resistance measures from
approximately 7K ohms immediately after printing or POR to approximately 450K
ohms when the thermistor reaches room temperature. (It may take 30 minutes to
cool.)
Replace the fuser assembly as necessary.
