Just wait until you have to take apart a 201 or 301.

Keep the fusing unit properly maintained and you will have far less problems. This includes replacing the hot and pressure roller bearings. Either that or keep them packed with silicon grease. If the bearings turn rough then they can cause the gear to break.

We used to have a lot of those gears breaking when we were trying to extend the life of the fuser parts beyond what Ricoh recommended. We learned that the fuser rebuild need to be done at the recommended intervals, 450k for the MP6002-7502-9002 series. The fuser kit PMD131450k for the 6002-7502 and PMD133450k for the 9002 has the bearings in it.

I've had a few break.

The part numbers have changed a couple of times now.

The most recent part number change is:

AB012233 - Hot Roller Gear
(Old p/n: AB012062, B1404194)

AE020242 - Pressure Roller
(Old p/n: AE020209)

Those two part changes cover the 00, 01, 02 and new 03 range (excluding the 90 ppm models).

That new 03 model like kinda nice, they've made a few nice changes. Let's hope for best, we need a more reliable machine.

Replace the AE01 1117 and replace it.
The quality of new parts is very poor

Re: Broken Fuser gears 2075- MP 8000

I make it a habit to replace the gear every time I PM the fuser. I wish they came in the kit.

We fit a new gear every time we fit a new hot roller as there was a high incidence of the gear giving up the ghost with in a week of a new H/R being fitted.

• so which gear is better the AB012233? or the AB01 2316?
• the AB012316 is from the mp6002 parts guide but precision roller shows it fits much older models.
• the AB012233 on precision roller shows it fits new models including mp6002.
• which gear is newer (supposed to be better longer lasting?)
• makes me confused

I just rebuilt a 301 fuser on Monday... That was LOTS of "No Fun"!

It does not matter how old this thread is, the question is, what gear is the newest/most reliable? I'd like to know also, as they are still failing?
