A search for "Rebuilding fusers assy for Canon 5180" brought me to this site. Is there information and parts available to rebuild the fuser (or 'fixing assembly) for this machine, as replacements seem to cost around $2000?

5180 fuser issue
The machine is demanding the fuser be replaced before it will do any work. There is no damage to the unit, but the last we looked, the clicks on the finisher were pretty high, so I suspect it is just calling for a periodic replacement, as it's likely past it's recommended usable life. We can't double check it's percentage of usable life, but it won't boot past or around the error message.Comment

It won't either. The error code needs to be released in service mode.
There may be a problem with the unit-this model does not trip an error based on metre count. It is expensive, but best to have a tech inspect the old unit or replace. It's not simple to replace, an untrained hand could cause more issues. What error code? E007?Comment

Canon 5180 fuser
Seems like you're right. Machine looks/sounds good until you ask it to print/copy anything, the it offers the "E000007-0201" code and demands to be shut-down. Menu won't let us go around- bypass secquence fails to do anything.
We are, however, comfortable working on this. The Canon techs used to leave us spare drums/fusers/etc., to save them trips out here for 'minor' problems.Comment

The origional question was: Is there rebuilding materials available for these fuser/fixing assemblies?Comment

Error code
Thanks for the input!! Obviously, I'm not a tech, just the owner.
I don't know if it matters, but there are five zeros between the "E" and the "7". I know with part numbers on some machines, each place holder is important.Comment

Your better off replacing the fuser unit.
No dealer would want to try to rebuild a fuser unit for a couple of bucks. They would rather the customer buy the fuser ass'y.
It will benefit your more to spend the money, these fuser ass'y are always revised. There are coded with a color dot. What ever color dot your fuser unit has, this determines which version you have.
When a brand new fuser unit is replaced with a latest version, its recommended that the main unit be upgraded with the latest firmware.Comment
