Bizhub C451 Fuser problems

[abscopiers]

Thanks Mike, We have used the drum mods from KM but I like your idea of the pads, we will try that. I think that we might try soaking the fusers completely submerged in 30 weight oil overnight. Seriously, we will make sure to reference your new part number when ordering fusers. And I agree with the grease, what they recommend is kind of irreverent, since they are the ones that designed it in the first place. We have been using "field mods" for years to fix problems, and I am sure that they aren't recommended either.

Fuser noise

Not evey machine we have does this. The ones that do however seem to all come back. Some a month, some a few days. We have tried all of Konica's Solutions. Some work some don't. Like I said eventually you will be back. T

The one thing I have not seen on here is Konica's newest solution. The auxiliary roller is shifting over. Anyone have any comments on that? I know for sure that is one of the main culprits but KM only put this out as a temporary solution. I can go to machine, re center that roller apply the grease and the noise will instantly go from loud to dead silent. Problem is yea the first time you do it you get some time. The 2nd time you go though, while it will silent it, you will be back within days. Konica put out this temp solution weeks ago with still no permanent fix. Anyone have any answers.

I have changed the fuser and the plug per the book. next is the coil and pcb. Has anyone seen this code and what did you do?

Re: Bizhub C451 Fuser problems

i rarely have fusing failures on these machines and we have many hundreds of them in the field. the biggest issue was the fusing drive/eject drive/fuser/exit guide squeaks which if lubricated properly arent an issue.

make sure you have power save settings set to something reasonable like 30/60 minutes, half the problem with these machines is bright sparks thinking its a good idea to disable power save mode so the fusing drive runs for hours and hours on end.

It literally takes about 10 seconds for the first printed page to come out from power save mode - there's no need to leave the fuser turning perpetually.
