The most common thing we've seen on this series is a clutch in the feed drive unit squeaking.

Re: KM 5052 noise

Im new to the Kyocera game but ive seen on that frame 4 things.

In the side door rear frame side near the top is a little white plastic roller, i think it's a belt tensioner.
In the LCT trays 3/4 that drive pack has needed oil
Feed drive pack.
On the right side of LCT 3/4, the feed roller behind the side door has squeaked and it tends not to squeak until you run the crap out of it. It comes out with 2 screws and 1 connector.

Do not put oil anywhere near the clutches. I dropped dabs of oil on a M3550 drive pack on all the bushings chasing a squeak and wiped out the clutch. It turned into the Bob Marley. Hes always jammin...

There is a clutch in the registration roller assy. (part #302RH94090) that will make noise . I believe it only makes the noise when actually making copies and not when in test mode

Yes Sir, I pulled the drive for feed and the exit unit, lubed all metal bushings out back together and no more noise! Thanks to all!
