    BH 223/283/363/423 Fuser rebuilds

    Anyone rebuilding these units?
    A new fuser is over $300. Konica Minolta does not list individual parts. Many of the parts are the same as BH350 but the thermistors are different, looking for a part# or source for thermistor.

    I've found heat rollers at Katun, but have not found heat roller claws yet. These fusers typically last 240K before the heat roller peels at the claws. I believe that the pressure roller and bearings will last the full 480K.

    Does anybody know a part number for a compatible hr claw, and/or a source? =^..^=
    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.

    We have quite a few of these showing problems very early on, 36 & 42s as well.

    The 200 series fusers would last forever.

    These are failing very quick for what they cost.

    You can get the specified life out of most of them if you take a moment and clean the thermistor at each service call. I'm not saying they don't fail early though, even the new 4 series fusers are crapping out around 100K. Emujo
    If you don't see your question answered in the forum, please don't think it's OK to PM me for a personal reply...I do not give out firmware and/or manuals.

    It does mark at the safety stat but we also get wear at the claws.


    Like at the rear, and the line is a short way from the top.

    I seem to recall reading something on CSES about upping the fuser temp by 5 Degs to help reduce the wear.
    I will see if I can find it.

    I rebuild the Bh200/2510 fuser with a $100.00 kit. VS. $300 fuser at Minolta, but it takes a couple hours to do all the parts/orange rollers, etc. and clean + lube. I did one on site at busy law firm and it was stressful with everyone holding reams of paper looking at me. I'm wondering if it's worth the time vs. just buying it?

    I re-build these all the time 423/250. I've found the oem fusers are all over the place in yields. I've got some that last usually 100 - 150K and I've had some go almost 300K. I just replace the ufr (muratec branded) p/n DA14705060. I can replace these in under 30mins. I also get rid of the the grounding clip that's rides under the ufr on the right side so theres no squeaking. Been doing it for years and no problems

    Same to me for the BH-350 series. I need about 40 minutes however but I reinstall the grounding clip, perhaps that's why?

    Are you sure the BH3510/350 upper fusing roller will work in the BH363/423 series fuser units?
