I searched the forum and didn't find a definitive answer to this. Has anyone found a permanent fix for squeaks in this finisher? I've taken them apart, cleaned and lubed bushings and whatever else moves. It takes care of it for a while and then they come back. It's just a bit annoying. Thanks.

Re: MXFNX9 SQUEAKS
I like you have not found a good fix. It seems like about 50% of them squeak when I show up for a simple call and I spend more time on this than the original call. -
Re: MXFNX9 SQUEAKS
They all make noise. I have long since stopped taking them apart as it is labor intensive and the noise will always come back. I usually remove the finisher, remove the top cover, pull out the 3in1 oil, and lube accordingly. Be sure to run 50-100 copies as the oil will show up on the pages running through at first.

Re: MXFNX9 SQUEAKS
I've heard from somewhere that the way to eliminate the squeak permanently was to replace every single piece of plastic, mylar or roller. Way too labour intensive, my solution thus far has been to replace the squeaky finisher with a non squeaky one until the customer can stand the noise no longer and wants a new machine.Cthulhu for president! Why settle for the lesser evil?Comment

Re: MXFNX9 SQUEAKS
Found a fix that worked on two different ones yesterday. Pull the top cover and lube the four rollers attached to it and also bend them down just a bit to add a little more pressure. Worked on both machines. I got an email confirming this fix from a friend this morning. Thanks for the responses.I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.Comment
