I have never replaced a thermopile. The odds of the thermopile being bad are not too good.
The odds of you fixing the machine yourself are also not too good.
Listen to slimslob, it's time for an upgrade.

I thought so too but I had a mpc2050 maybe 3 yrs back wth same fuser codes and yes the thermopile was bad..
Only time i had it......why is this in the printer forum?

Ok, now I'm curious, sent him a thermopile, I want to know if it fixes it.
One good trait that most techs have is curiosity.

Gentlemen,

I would like to thank every body who tried to help me. It was an RFID sensor which is soldered on a small PCB on the thermopile. Being thermopile not available, I found this sensor from a local electronics part store. Now my printer is working as it was before.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Thanks,

Sounds like an excuse, to justify solving the problem. Despite the refusal to hire the service of a professional.
People like that, they're not customers, they don't give thanks for our work. And you'll always find it expensive, any repair budget price offered to you.

This was quite entertaining. I came for information, and was rewarded with a laugh 😂
