    [Error Code] Kyocera 3553ci LSU Cleaning Motor (c4600 error)

    Hello everyone,

    I'm currently experiencing an issue with a Kyocera 3553ci that keeps showing a C4600 error. It also makes a loud clicking noise, so it seems like the motor is basically locked up. I looked up the error code, which points to a problem with the LSU Cleaning Motor.

    I've removed the LSU, and all the gears seem okay. The cleaners slide perfectly by hand without issues, but I can’t understand why the gears won’t turn when I try. I also removed the gears from the motor, and the motor spins freely by hand. I'm considering disconnecting the motor altogether, but I wanted to check here first for any advice or suggestions.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

      Hi,

      I have had this issue before, took the LSU off the machine and took the motor off and swapped the motor with the one at the back of the waste toner - The error never came back which is strange, this was 2 years ago and the machine is still working.

          That motor must be able to move the cleaner or it will error out. Disconnecting the motor is not a solution, you'll still get the error. I haven't looked at this specific cleaner, but I suspect that it will look like the previous Kyocera models. Previous models use a spring to press the cleaner back into the threads of the worm drive. If that spring is too weak, or there is friction in that worm drive, the cleaner will not re-engage with the worm, and will not be able to complete it's cycle. Let's see if I have a photo ... yes, this is a laser slit glass cleaner for an Alphard1:

          The whole rig is very cheaply made. I prefer not to use oil in locations like this that get dusted with toner, but oil can help in the short term.
          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.
