One of my fellow techs is having nightmares about this color machine. Keeps popping C6050, C6030, C6000 errors. Resetting in u codes doesn't work. Thermistors are actually junked out and the fuser unit needs to be replaced (can't buy just thermistors apparently). This poor bugger is on his 3rd or 4th fuser. Any suggestions?

We had one machine blow the thermostat on the press roller, not the one in the heat roller described in that service bulletin. Our tech rep suggested replacing the engine board and we haven't had a problem in 10 months.
I've seen that main thermostat bend into the heat roller as well. It makes a wonderful coffee-grinding noise just before it codes out.Comment

The earliest versions of the fuser had a couple problems. Usually the thermostat inside the fixing belt rubs against the teflon roller. In my opinion it's the vibration that causes the thermostat to blow. The vibration-that's the coffee grinder noise.
I've seen the other thermostat blown also.
The part# ...054 in the US market solves most of the fuser problems. And yes, individual parts are not sold separately for these fusers. We are too stupid to rebuild fusers any more (at least, according to Kyocera).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.

kyocera is currently going through all the affected machines and corresponding s/n, and they are shipping out new fusers under warranty. the fuserproblem is known all over the world, and it makes no sense to dismantle the fuser and change the thermostat. it's a pain in the ass and takes a long time, and time is money. if it makes the coffee grinder sound, it needs to be replaced. just a question of time before it blowsComment

I don't know...
Personally, I don't see the HVT having anything to do with C6000 codes.
Regardless, Good Luck. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
