    Konica Minolta C280 making clunking noise on idle

    Hi,

    I have a Konica Minolta C280 making clunking noise on idle after moving the machine. I'm trying to see what it is that rotates on idle to make the sound even sometime on the first print it would make the noise for 3 to 4 seconds then stop any ideas? Maybe what ever turns on idle is the problem?? Thanks in advance.

    My first thought would be the fuser

    That's what I thought but I removed the fuser and reseated it just incase and it still made the noise.

    Is that more likely what it can be? I also tried removing the ITB and reseating it back into place and still made noise. I didn't pull the ITB all the way out though.

    is that what moves on idle?

    The fuser is the only part that idles, the transfer doesn't

    Transfer belt DOES periodically move an increment at a time at idle.

    if you have a blocked cleaning section and chute this will be exactly what it is,

    i agree.

    any noise reported on this model, my first port of call is the transfer belt cleaning assy & the waste Shute.
    The gene pool could use a little chlorine.
