    KM bizhub C450 - ''Need to replace fusing unit''

    Hi folks, I am getting this message on display( ''Need to replace fusing unit'' ) .. I wonder, do I need to replace it?does this mean there is problem on fusing unit? or its just some counter?


    Thanks.

    Only if you want to use the machine for printing, copying, or scanning. If you don't change the fuser, it still makes a great doorstop. The fuser is chipped, so only a new fuser will clear the message. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

      Thanks.
      The "Change Oil" light has come on on my dashboard...Does this mean I have to change the oil, or is it a just some counter. Emujo

        you can swap the fuse on the fuser.once you turn it back on, the fuse will blow and the fuser will be reset

              remove the covers and follow the wires. you are looking for a very small green resistor, it will be covered with plastic and have 2 zip ties.
              this little green resistor is what you need to change. the best tip I can give you is to not solder in the new one. Just wrap the wires
              around the ends of the resistor and then fold over the hard wire on the resistor. If you attempt to solder the new resistor in place you
              run the risk of damaging it, then it becomes useless.

                around the ends of the resistor and then fold over the hard wire on the resistor'', so, I dont need a new one, just?...?

                  you do need a new resistor, your local electronics place should be able to match it for you.

                    Hi, I bought 63 mA glass fuse, cut off the old one ( also 64 m A ) , cut the plastic like 1 cm on each wire, put it around fuse's wire, turned on machine,and it works now, but fuse fell off,and machine still works, do I need to place it back? or those 2 wiress are just for reseting?

                      just to reset counter, the fuse should be open now. so you would need to put it back ? why?

                        Cos, machine is giving me strange smell when I turn it on, but it works fine, I tought i need to put fuse back,but no sense since there is no electronical circuit since fuse has blown...

                          just wrap a bit of insulating tape round the 2 ends of wires just to be safe
