We have this one machine that we have probably put five of these in in the last 6 months or so. It will work for a while and then back up and grind again. We even replaced the waste toner assembly the waste toner bottle goes into with a new one. Not sure what is causing this but everything looks to be working fine and then a month or so later it starts grinding again.

Re: Anyone had issues with 6002 model constantly grinding due to waste toner box back
Did you also replace the section in the main drive that houses the waste toner hopper? Or did you just replace the waste box unit on the lower left of the machine(would be the same as just replacing the waste bottle...)? -

Genuine toner? Also, how new are the DV units? We've had a couple issues with the waste section of the transfer unit not emptying correctly, and only one or two machines with the waste sections of the machine backing up.
Sounds like a logic issue if it isn't emptying. What has Kyocera support suggested?Comment

Can't blame you there. One or two are good, the rest were useless.
What about the main drive unit? I know you've replaced the hopper unit attached to the main drive, but that's what drives that unit to empty. Also, calibrating the color, including running the transfer unit replacement setting in U410/469/464 - I forget which one has it - resets the values of the transfer unit. The rest of the calibrations will hopefully help with the amount of toner being laid down. I assume you already did calibrations, but I always stick by the KISS method, as well as easiest/most logical things first.Comment

We swapped the whole unit the first time from a working machine because we didn't have the waste unit, it was the first time it happened. I am not sure on developer though so I am going to look into that, the machine is a 6002 so no color.Comment

The waste toner bottle unit, waste toner hopper unit (behind main drive), feed drive unit and Primary belt should all be done at once. I've tried doing fewer, but ended up going back and doing them all.Comment

from my experience the amount of stucking waste decreased dramatically after mounting from new waste box unit and usage from factory data instead of manual calibration.
Did techs followed bulletin M011_2V8_0053?Comment

The feed drive unit drives the waste auger on the main drive unit. Since it's backed up so many times, maybe there's an issue with one of the gears in the feed drive assembly. missing teeth or a broken gear?Comment

I second that. Waste Bottle, Bottle holder, Waste hopper behind drive unit and feed drive unit. We have found old bottles wear out and creep forward enough to back up the waste. Make sure to feel test the vertical agitator in the black hose tube to the waste unit when re assembling new system also, to make sure its not seized up on install.
Not a great fan of this system, please bring back a simple waste bottle with full window and air bubble.Comment
