Sir
Thank you for your quick response & extremely sorry for my mistake.
It is not SC 442-02 it is 542-02 - "Thermopile (Center) does not reload"

Sorry again & looking forward for some suggestions / inputs from all

On this model, the thermopile is located on the frame behind the fusing unit. When you pull out the fuser, you will see them

Sometimes the thermopile just needs to be cleaned of debris, if that doesn't work replace it and reset the the code in service mode.

It's a rare day that a thermopile goes bad. Probably a problem with the heat sleeve or thermistors.

I agree that its most likely the thermistor or heat sleeve however I have had a customer damage a thermopile by removing the fusing unit and attempting to self repair the machine. Gotta love the wanna be techs.
