Ricoh mpc 2003 Fuser unit

[copier tech]

This work practice sounds down right dangerous.

Unplug the machine & CALL A QUALIFIED TECH!

I second this!! Copier fusers aren't something you want to have "Cobbled together"!!! Because of the voltages and temperatures involved, you run the risk of a fire.

If you're LUCKY, you'll just burn down the building!! If you're NOT, lives could be lost!! Unplug it, and call a QUALIFIED service technician!!

came the next day with another lamp and all he did was use a wire to make it hold it in the middle.

Seriously?!!
I hope you have a fire extinguisher handy.
This is the biggest hack job I think I've ever heard described!
You'd best get someone in there NOW and fix it properly, or your problems are bound to be far worse than just a fuser problem

I would suggest that you contact the repair company and have them send a qualified repair person.
