Re: Problem with bizhub C253

Dont give up. You have already gone this far, may as well give it a go. There was a video just posted about the auger mechanisms getting pulled out and cleaned. Doesnt go into much detail about disassembly, but you can have a look at what the parts look like and how far you need to go. Good video overall. Have a peek. Might help. I have never had to do the job yet....looks icky. Oevrall might learn something. Have a good one! All the best. Last day!

Develop Ineo +253 Toner Compacted in Toner supply auger (machine view) - YouTube

hoooly s&*t

that's cool to see but there is no manual on how to gut 99% of the machine.

Those guys just took piece after piece after piece after piece off. Said it was a 2 day job, with no proof they put all that crap back together. crazy...thanks tho

Update?

So, I spent almost 3 days removing everything. I didn't manage to remove the hoppers because the transfer belt guard refused to come out! I decided to put everything back together to see if it would print or at least it would print temporarily and require me to vacuum every 20 prints or so. I spent another 5 hours putting it all back together two days ago (minus a few panels and a bunch of nuts and bolts). It seems to be doing fine so far. I have managed to print about 400 pages without any problems. I was worried it wouldn't work at all since I accidentally messed with the gear boxes.

All in all, the printer is back to life! BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE!!!

We have had this a few times. Even replacing the auger hasn't always cured it for long. Pipe cleaner and vacuum toner pipes from both ends and pray. If it comes back, bin the machine!

Re: Problem with bizhub C253

You've got toner clodged on the Sub hopper, have two ways to solve it.

first, you have to remove the back cover, and look for the big black gear at the right upper side, turn the machine on and you will see it trying to turn and you will hear the noise, you can turn off the machine and turn the gear to the side that turn the gears from the hoper, you will figure that the gear is very heavy, turn it a few times and power on the machine, keep doing it untill the noise is gone; i've got it on Magicolor 8650 and Bizhub C200;

Just editing this; on Bizhub C200 there's no PWB-BOX on the back side, so the gears are visible, on C203, C253, C353 and Magicolor 8650 you have to remove the PWB-BOX to get at the gears...

The other way is quick but makes a lot of mess and dirty, you just have to remove the output table and remove the toner cartridges, you will see the toner hoper, just give a pressurized air shot on each of it... the place will be very colorfull... don't forget to use mask, i've done that and got lots of toner on my nose, mouth and face... i really don't recommend this way.. but it works too...
