Bizhub C280, error code C-3721, [Service Manual drops the hyphen: C3721], one of three codes for "Fusing abnormally high temperature detection":
- C3721 (Center of the heating side)
- C3722 (Edge of the heating side)
- C3723 (Pressurizing side)
Fusing unit appears normal, certainly not over-temperature. (After resetting the code, I set fuser temperature to its lowest limit. It still threw the error after restart.)
But the Service Manual's 2nd troubleshooting step (after checking the fusing unit installation) is "Check the open/close operation of the right door." What is that about? That is consistent with other problems the machine is having (duplex jams because duplex transport sensor fails to trip, because door is out of adjustment), but I don't see the connection. How is fuser over-temperature related to the door?
Related question: getting the door closure adjusted properly seems impossible. On closer inspection, it appears that the door frame itself is out of plumb, as if the right rear corner took an impact causing geometry distortion (though I'm not sure how functionally significant it might be). Have you ever seen this?
