MP2001 squeeking like a banshee

[bobbykerr]

Hi everyone ,

Dont know if anyone else has come across this - Low mileage MP2001 just a year old - squeeling like a banshee on exit - have lubed all bearings - seems to be the upper exit guide frame badly warped - hoped it would be a straight unit swap but according to the parts manual its all component parts - seems its best as Ive got the damn thing out to go in there with belt and braces - but seems according to parts manual that there is a lot of unique roller holders etc - just asking if anybody has a definite part that causes the squeek rather than order 30 different parts

I've had the plastic part that covers over the stripper pawls contact the hot roller and cause a squeak.

Haven't the slightest clue, but noise (unwanted) can be a pain in the but to locate. Good luck

Haha luv the thread title...I haven't worked on a MP 2001, but if they re like the MP2000 your probably get what I call the wine-glass effect where you rub your clean finger around the rim of a wine glass an it starts to sing.Try putting a small amount of silcone grease on the fuser pick off fingers/strippers. This may stop them from singing like a wine glass....HTH

sometimes, sounds come from the feed roller bushing in the paper tray, have you try to check/lubricate this things, good luck hope you can fix it.

If the noise started soon after the PCU was change, it could be the cleaning blade. Makes a noise similar to finger nails on a chalk board.

As a quick test. Put a small amount of silcone grease on the contact point of the fuser stripper fingers. If the squeak stops you may need new strippers. I sometimes just file the strippers sharp again until the hot roller is due for replacing.

Just replace the fuser fingers. One extra step, if the site only uses LEF paper, is to remove the middle finger since it's the most likely to get pulled out if the machine jams. I think that's some kind of message from the engineers of these things...

a Banshee is a bad omen, something is about to die.

It's a sympathetic vibration, just like a needle on a record: some machines will get it, and some won't but I've seen it forever on just about everything in the 18-25 PPM family.
