Xerox WorkCentre 7845 Strange Noise

[buzzgrafix]

Hi!
Xerox WorkCentre 7845
Started making this strange noise recently.
Does not affect printing seems like, printing like normal.
I removed the fax card, thought it was a speaker on it but didnt help.
Any suggestions?

Also, it is only making the sound when it is printing. When no jobs are applied it is quiet.

Sounds like fuser.

Sounds like fuser.

I tried pulling the fuser out and rotating its gears by hand and all is moving okay and no sound. Also the fuser is on the left side of the printer and the noise is coming somewhere from the back right.

Turned out that the waste toner container got full and then it locked in. The solenoid and the gears were making the noise because they couldnt open the waste toner container.
Replaced it and resolved the issue.
