Estudio 230 shows jam lower cass @ pwr up

[Dexor]

It frequently, but not always, shows jam @ lower cassette - tells me to open the right bottom door (no error codes) - after a few sec (5-10) I power up the machine. At times it begins to function ok, but usually after overnight shutdown and then pwr up it shows jam. I removed lower feeder, cleaned all the sensors. No go. Problem is erratic, not constant. LV power supply? Bad/flaky sensor? They have steady 115V in their power line.

I had today a 280 doing basically the same thing. I changed the jam sensor that is mounted to the bottom of the bypass unit. It didnt do the problem anymore while I was there. Only time will tell. This sensor is pretty common to get flaky and go bad. Hope it solves this problem.

a couple of times iv swapped this sensor with the top duplex door sensor, they are the same part #, the sensor will work fine in the duplex door because gravity is helping it, but the one under the bypass has gravity against it... i guess the spring losses some tension over time.

thank you guys for your input, this has been lifesaver. That sensor @ the bottom of duplexer - cleaned really well seems to be working fine. But will swap with the top door @ duplexer.
