IRC 3080i Premature drum wear.

[johnyb]

Hi I have a IRC 3080i that is wearing the drums out prematurely, I loacted the fault to the coupling that is rotated when you turn the black handle, it has snapped causing a toner build up in the PCU then developer spill and drum wear.
My question is .... has anybody else had this issue?? if so what part number do you replace ?
I have the parts catalog already but it is bloody awfull and so hard to recognise what part is needed, has anybody had this issue.

Thanks in advance

It's ok sorted now, I've found a bulletin.....

It is quite a common problem and the couplings can usually be re-attached in-situ. They clip into a gear in the Waste Toner 1 Feed Assembly, and usually become detached rather than break. The gear slips out of view and needs moving back into position before re-attaching. If the 2 plastic clips on the couplings are still intact, then re-attaching in-situ is your best option. Otherwise, you'll need to remove the Waste Toner 1 Feed Assembly, which isn't a great deal of fun. Part number for the assembly is FM2-5530-010 and the couplings are included with it. I don't think the couplings themselves have a separate part number.

NO coupling parts

NO coupling parts

The couplings are there, it just isn't very clear from your picture. If they were missing you'd see a gaping hole where the Drum Waste Ports are.
