P-2040DN paper jam

[Ropariva]

Here you can see how to fix a common problem with Kyocera P2235dn, M2040dn etc. It's about the fuser fixing film and the oil application pad. Its very easy repair, and no new parts needed.

Hope it helps you!
Have a nice day/night!

The amount of disassembling and reassembling rules this out as a repair in most environments. There has to be an hour involved in that? Also removing the pad and lubing the plate underneath? No manufacturer puts something in a machine that doesn’t need to be there. Sorry, I’m not buying this as a viable fix.

I have had a 2040dn with this problem but couldn't find any FFL Electroblue will this grease I found on Amazon do the trick?
OKLILI Fuser Film Grease Oil Silicone Grease 50g Compatible with HP 1000 1010 1015 1020 1050 1022 1150 1160 1200 1220 1300 1320 2015 3020 3030 3050 3055 3300 3330: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

I don't trust these Chinese Fuser-Grease repros, I use HP #CK-0551-020 for that as the (more expensive) #HP300 Grase seems to be too sticky...
Works just fine, no complaints, no smell whatsoever, you can get that over at CET:

I am guessing that the oil pad from inside the fusing film restricts some of the heat produced by the heat lamp therefore causing paper jams? and once removed and new oil application, the heat will increase on fusing film surfaces?

Nope, look how that film looks after ~50k pages:

I've also had repairs where the pad seemed to be okay, maybe there should relubricating the pad with fuser oil have done the job, but I've removed it anyways, better safe than sorry ;-)

It's there to lube the Fuser-Sleeve, but it's not reliable, a big Engineering fail, everyone at kyocera is aware of, but there seems to be no will to change or improve that pad, so the classic way with fuser grease (as done everywhere else, Brother, HP etc..) is the way to go!
