fuser noise on HP2420

vedder · 10-09-2009

MOrning all, just wondering if anyone had any tips for this problem, I have a HP 2420 with poor copy quality due to a faulty fuser, I have replaced the fuser, but with the new fuser in it makes a loud grinding noise as if the gears are not meshing correctly, took the new one out, put old back in, no noise, spoke to the supplier who mentioned something about a "drive train" may need replacing, but looking on the parts list im a little unsure which part this is.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The funny part is that the machine doesn't get really noisy until you replace the fuser. Then it sounds like it's going to jump right off the desk.

I bought a couple of these kits from TSA and it works as advertised. Thanks, prntrfxr. =^..^=
