konica C287/c227 SQUEAKING

[vedder]

Hi everyone, we are having some squeaking issues on a c227 and a c287, we have fit a new fuser to the c287 along with new bushings, nylon rollers etc in the fuser exit ( that is where we are sure the noise is coming from, somewhere up there anyway) which cured the fault for a couple of days, then returned. The noise doesnt happen with the door open and interlock cheated, so we stripped and lubed the top section on the door and the section on the fuser with the plastic rollers on (the bit which doesn`t come with the fuser) and again, the problem was cured.... until today, this one is driving us mad, and it doesn`t help that one of the machines is an hour and half away from the office.

Any thoughts on this is appreciated.

just in case anyone has this problem, here is the solution, it has been weeks now and it hasn`t returned.

Had that very problem this week - caused by the exit roller.
