[Error Code] Xerox C70 keeps melting fusing lamps causing 010-334 codes

[vandel]

I have a Xerox C70 that will melt the fusing lamps causing 101-334 codes. I can replace the fuser and it last a month....maybe.

OEM fusers?

OEM fusers?

They have all been OEM fusers.

are they running anything special as far as paper
have you checked the line voltage also

That's a thermistor code. That lamp should cut off long before it goes into meltdown mode. Normally on most fuser circuits there's a thermal breaker that will trip and apparently that isn't working, either. Very dangerous.


Edit: My guess is that you've got a board problem that's not telling the lamp to cut off when it reaches temperature. The AC voltage to the fuser is usually controlled by a TRIAC being switched on/off. The TRIAC can usually be found on the AC circuit board. The TRIAC normally receives a control signal from the Main PWB. Sounds like you have a bad board or a pinched wire.
