kyocera p7240 noise

Good morning, I have this kyocera ecosys p7240 printer under repair, it makes a gear noise a few times, and when it makes the noise the print comes out defective, has this happened to anyone?

I suspect that the primary transfer belt cleaner assembly is clogged up, stalling the primary transfer belt. That would explain the faulty color registration. Have you examined the machine yet? =^..^=

From now on Im going to post my machine problem here so you guys will do my diagnostics before I even look at the machine. I like other people to do my work for me!

Yep. The bushing on the transfer belt near the drive gear wears causing it to skip with a horrible noise and registration error. New belt required.

We had a similar case a few months ago that stumped us for quite a long time. As it turned out the levering system on the fuser had come partly undone and some times one of the rods would be pushed into the big gear on the ITB assembly. We had replace the ITB, rear door and the driving gears for the ITB before I accidentally stumbled on the fuser issue. I was able to simply reassemble the fuser properly and no problems since.
FWIW.

it's a machine with which I have no experience, I think there's no harm in asking since the customer is far from the office and I didn't want to go there totally unprepared

I sent an attached photo of the bushing in case anyone has the same problem

I can't find the code for this bushing, does anyone know if it's possible to buy it?

Not available as a part. Complete assembly TR-5140.

Re: kyocera p7240 noise

From the photos, it appears to be a unique item (not a standard 6mm, 8mm, 10mm bushing). If you've got a graveyard or worn out units, you could certainly scavenge what you need. That would be my first choice.

I would offer to look through my miscellany, but i don't think I've seen that exact thing before. =^..^=
