C558 noise

Re: C558 noise

Say it isn't so. Please don't spray WD40 on anything ... except maybe a feed roller or metal fuser inlet guide. WD40 is not a lubricant and attacks most plastics.

TRIFLOW! thats the way to go.

WD40 will dry out brass bushings.

Thanks BC for pointing this out again! been saying this for years!

Never used triflow but will look into it. I realize we kinda hijacked this post, but I felt like ranting (even though i have talked about this before). I will be back in a year or so to remind everyone

Re: C558 noise

Yeap! Funny how WD40 claims it is a lubricant--blatant false advertising.

Rant:
WD stands for water displacement. I think WD40 is mostly paint thinner (and other petroleum blah blah blahs).
The real problem is that WD40 simply dissipates--WD40 again claims it continues to work after application which in my experience is pure snake-oil-nonsense. It is also a terrible rust prevention solvent--it is amazing how WD40's marketing team makes so many blatantly making false claims and yet so successful in their inculpability. I would be willing to bet that their sales would be cut in half (if not more) if people simply used WD40 properly (by the way that is a net income of a mere nearly 60 million USD for 2017).
WD40 even claims it is safe of plastics and rubber which is sort-of-true.
Wiping such materials down with WD40 is safe because it evaporates relatively quick; on the converse, long-term exposure will result in issues. So in my opinion, WD40 is only good for cleaning on MFPs and its residue should be cleaned off of plastics and rubbers (as a mere precaution). I guess if you have some rusted screws it would be useful otherwise, but if that is the case, you are probably having bigger issues.

For rusted nuts/use pu blaster.
Yes if you need to remove water. WD40.
There are so many better lubes.
High speed low temp situations..blue waterproof bearing grease.
Plastic bush/bearings.. triflow..even good on fishing reels n non heat related areas of you firearms..personally tested

Re: C558 noise

Hey all

I have a customer with a C558 that is producing a noise. I have been there twice without hearing it, but she recorded after I left this morning and sent it to me.
I am unable to attach it to this post, possibly because it is too large. The noise seems to be coming from the exit area, but in the recording it i difficult ti tell. The noise is a medium pitched steady whine. The volume fluctuates slightly. She tells me it happens in the AM more often. I removed the fuser and turned it by hand and no noise there.
I realise there isn't much to go on here, but does this sound familiar to anyone?
Any input is appreciated
Thanks

Does it have a finisher? Remove the middle transport section between the exit section and finisher, turn it over and grease the bushings for the transport rollers in that unit. I had a squeak before in that section on an brand new machine.

Hi was it ever resolved? I have a c658 making the same type of sound in that area.

Re: C558 noise

The clicking noise is easily resolved by removing the cleaning brush and it's paraphernalia. There is a sector gear on the heat sink roller that cannot seem to reach the flat spot ... and clicks off that last gear tooth continuously.

The keening or screeching noise is usually the bearings inside the heat sink roller. They are 16mm OD, 7.5mm ID, (1680 or 688ADD) but they were troublesome to remove, and hardly worth putting back on. I also removed the heat sink roller and it's paraphernalia.

Re: C558 noise

I always try to follow up if there was a solution, but I obviously missed this one. The solution was to replace the fuser. Sorry for the delay
