    konica 224e making alot of noise when starting and when printing colors

    Hello guys How you all doing today?
    Today I am seeking for your support and expetise because my head is spinning now, I have this konica 224e, it is making alot of noise same noise when you have clog on the transfer belt, I thought it was that so I did the usual clean the cleaning blade and the restoner canal, put it back and the noise continue the funny is when you make black and white copies it make no noise but when you make colors the noise comes back or when stabilizing. I had change the transfer belt motor, toner motor, drums motor so I am giving up so need your help guys any tips.

    Did you clean the waste toner path all the way to the bottle?

    Could be the wtb motor gear assy. Or the gears in the machine that turn the xfer belt cleaning assy.
    Remove left cover and grab a flashlight and watch the gears engage for both the belt cleaner and the wtb motor on the front.
    Good luck as always.

    Check fuser drive gear.

    Ha ha, you seems to find newer and newer clever ways to put humor on this overall messy job - copier tech. God bless you for that!

    I've highlighted your problem above. A 224e should be able to make color copies. When you try, it yells at you!

    If the noise is only there when printing colour and not on black I would look at developing units just a thought

    As MGA stated, look into the development units. I've personally had 2 of the slower xx4e machines where the development units started leaking and dumped inside the rear of the copier, where it eventually ground down the drive gears in the back side of the development unit. To date I've had a cyan and a black do this. The cyan unit happened right around 80K or 90K if I remember correctly.

    That's easy to test just print only 4 pages CMYK gradations in SM. Would pinpoint noisy dev unit/drive if any.
