Ricoh E5 Error

[imaan]

Hello there

I've recently purchased a second hand Ricoh copier machine: FT 4415
Though the owner was saying it works but when I checked it, it shows E5 error

According to what I read and found so far and checked its service manual it says its related to fusing unit
ok when I switch on the machine I hear like a TIK sound and that's all, I see E5 on the screen

Any idea how to fix it, what the issue is and where to get the spare parts from?

thanks in advance

Purchased? really?
This machine came out in 1991.
You have a fuser error. Good Luck getting parts, and even if you could, don't waste your money!

So now any idea where I can get the spare part?

you can try to enter the service mode......in some cases the error disappears.....it'a a nice (analog) machine....i think you can find an entire fusing unit for a few dollars.......we had 50 of this machines around....
