    Lightbulb Heads up for noise in fuser/exit section on C224-554e

    Probably common on high mileage machines, but it was my first one to go so thought it may help someone. Possible cure for J3003.

    CL 8 - A161M20100 in fuser drive went to pieces. Glad it didn't took out the PRCB as it wasn't far from judging from the coil wire being exposed.

    Tip: If you happen to work on Kyo kit, then Kyocera clutch (303M894090 - CLUTCH 50 Z35R SP) can get you out of jail if you don't have Konica on board. Just swap the drive gear, hub and frame holder.

    I'll confirm all of that. Watch for a pile of rust on the mechanical lever on the right door that engages the fuser drive. Life ~3/4M to 1M.

    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    Wow that thing is toast. I have developed a habit of spraying out clutches with contact cleaner, the amount of rust that comes out...
    Whatever

    That's not a bad habit. I do as well when time is prescious. But this one has slightly few bits inside which completely failed so cleaner would just give another nail in to cofin.

    I used to do that until one time, the contact cleaner ("plastic safe") melted the insides of one. The bad thing is there is no way to know until it happens.



    Just looked in the service manual and it looks like a pain to get to. Any tips or shortcuts, getting to the clutch? I'm sure if I have to do the replacement, I'll figure out any shortcuts along the way but it would be cool to have a heads up. Thanks for the info, @habik !

    And ensure the fusing exit grey roller at the top of the rhs door turns freely, lubricate its bushings as required. These bind up, badly and should be checked on every call.
