    [Misc] MX-C301w Noisy Fuser drive

    MX-301w noisy fuser drive
    I was curious if anyone has pin pointed the cause of the rattling noise from the fuser drive cluster. Before I go ordering all kinds of clutches and gears, i was hoping someone already pin pointed the cause. It sounds like a pack of tic tacks being shacked. lol. I've lubed all gears and bushings and rollers. Run the test for FUM, sounds horrible. We are reconditioning 6 of these boxes, some only have 50k on them. 3 out of 6 have this rattle noise from fuser drive. WTH?
    Has anyone been there done that?
    TIA

      Pretty common issue, not sure of all the models, but you may wanna search this site for all the threads on this type of fuser/similiar and all the bulletins over the years.

      I haven't had many on newer units, but I remember 311's and some others being a pain with all the bulletins, codes, and fractured parts.

          Most of our noise issues are caused by the upper heat roller bearings. May want to try swapping some fusers around.

              I have had 2 of these recently. Delivery drive unit which also drives fuser. Not fun. About 2 2 1/2 hour job and I recommend you bring
              to your office since a pain and try to stay organized. Here is your part # dunt-8748uszz.
              You can take fuser out and hold onto it in Sim 6 fuser load test and still hear noise to elimanate fuser assy. Good luck and take your time.
