We have always replaced the fuser unit, but the yield can be so bad on some of the low volume machines that we are looking into just replacing the damaged UFR.
Is it worth doing this and do you get a decent yield from the Katun UFR they offer. Is it a pretty easy job and worth doing?
Even the machines the same problem, the Roller Up Roller is scratched and therefore the dirty.
I replaced fuser roller few times and it works fine if sensors are not too damaged.
Price is much lower for replacement roller and it is not so difficult to replace roller,about 30 minutes maybe included cleaning, lubricateing...
Has anyone tried removing the fingers?
We dont have this model anymore but always wanted to try this. Figured it would jam
I've done it once and worked fine for a long time. I remember I have installed a Di 2010 compatible UFR, not a hard job just be careful not breaking anything there.
Defects are simple, our mind is complicated
Katun UFR lasts more than original. You can easily get past 500k in total (200k original fusing unit + 300k Katun UFR).Originally Posted by SAR
It won't get scrathed by separators (fingers) or thermistors like original.
Very much recomended!!!
The thermistor is mostly what scratches the roller not the pickoffs. When you replace the UFR also replace the thermistors. I use aftermarket roller ($22) & thermistors ($15) and they work great. I hear the best roller is sold by a member of this forum, Hans from Germany. Haven't tried them yet but hoping to order some soon shipped to USA.
is there a link to his online shop or something? pm me
We rebuild them. Last longer than the original.
