Dislikes: Ricoh MP C5502 with about 40,000 copies. Copy speed and quality seem fine, but it makes this terrible squealing sound. Tech came and put some grease on the fuser assembly gears, but it hasn't helped.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi there!
I bet it`s the antistatic-brush of the papertransferroller. There is a modified pn: D1446205.
Thanks for the suggestion. Any idea what causes this failure?Originally Posted by Zeldaman
X2 on the PTR. Had a customer running special envelopes through the machine that bent the anti static teeth upward. They went through 3 ptr's before I figured it out.
Hi there!
Paperjam, cleaning bends the spikes (red arrows), bending them back is only temporary solution. Install the modified - OK.

WHY would you have a tech come out if you list yourself as a tech?
I say an end user...........you need to be honest here
I didn't list myself as a tech. I noticed that too, but I didn't do it.

Sounds to me like a motor or fan singing.
it sounds like a resonance, dont understand very well from the video, try to use the "output check" in sp mode to test the motorized parts one by one ... personally it sounds like the noise of the heavy metal bar inside the sleeve to keep / distribute the heat that has loosened screws well, but this is only a supposition
Whom ever the tech was didn't pursue the issue with any desire to actually solve the problem. Running various output checks would have been a good place to start to help isolate the problem.
Sounds too loud and not the right noise to me for it to be the PTR. In MY experience the PTR generates skewing and jamming often in conjunction with scratches on the paper and the noise is more of a hiss and not a vibration.
The noise in the video sounds more like a driven roller rubbing against something immobile. I have seen the rubber rollers slip on driven shafts to make contact with surrounding parts. I have also seen plastic guides warp such that they make contact with a moving part. If it is in the fuser there could be a build-up on the stripping plate or the belt assembly's pressure pad has gone dry (this means the belt assembly should be replaced).
