KYOCERA FK-8550

[EDSNOW]

Just wanted to ask if anyone has had to replace one of these fusers due to noise and also a buildup of rust colored powder within the fuser.
I suspect bushings wearing out.
I have had about three on various 52/53 series machines both color and mono products.
I also have had to change a couple of these fusers that either give a error code and also in the case of some color machines have caused the toner covers to open.

Just putting it out there to see if others have had any of these issues.

Up to this point doing RMA replacements has helped without costing too much other than freight.

I appreciate any responses.
thanks
Ed

Re: KYOCERA FK-8550

look for confidential information about modified FK connectors from new Iris series (coming soon) regarding FK errors on Iris 1 + 2 (Seems to be well known on KYO side....)
Also maybe the FK unit wasn`t the reason
Look for both other bulletins

Appreciate the information.
I was aware of foreign material getting into connectors. (Bulletins)
The rust colored material is what I have encountered in most of my units.
Thanks
