    Sharp AR257

    Have a clicking noise that I am familiar with. The normal fix is either changing out the Drum and if this hasn't work I have changed out the Drum Unit itself. Usually this does the trick, but today it continued. Question is has anyone had similar experience, and if so, what was your Fix? Appreciate any input -

    Did you check the toner? Sharps are very famous for "clicking" noises when the toner gets low. I am sorry if my response seems condescending, but sometimes we techs will miss the most obvious.

      Nothing condescending about your response - Toner is almost full and the client changed it out because she thought this would make her copies darker.

        Have you looked at the gear on the rear frame that drives the fuser? Fuser Gear 19T: NGERH0090QSZ1

        It will last 2 PM cycles. =^..^=
        If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
        1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
        2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
        3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
        4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
        5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          Good point - how is that gotten to? Taking out the Drive Unit or from the Drum - DV Unit cavity?

            Take out the fuser and you will see it on the rear frame side. Once you see the drive gear, you'll see how to remove it.

                It's wonderfully easy to get to. Any of the other gears ... well that's another thing. Main drive disassembly.

                If your gear is dark brown like dark chocolate, you might as well change it anyway, as the gear teeth will start breaking off any second. They start out as white Delrin. =^..^=

                  I've had the gears that lift the paper trays shatter in half somehow, that causes some loud clicks
