    Either the wall plugs are not wired correctly, the circuit is overloaded, or you have a dead short in the copier. I would look at the power supply and fuser wiring.

      There are these electrical testers....

      A must have in the tool kit.

      I agree with what Mr. Spock mentioned. Something not quite right. The second fuse blow, was this on the same breaker, or a different one? And what else was plugged in to those circuits? These machines are very power demanding, I generally do not recommend they share an outlet with any thing else for reliable operation.

        I had one do the same thing. It was the fuser coil and coil board you have to replace them together.

              I think they might be confusing the C203 series with a C451 series machine.

              The C451 series machines, the fuser unit does not contain a heat lamp. It instead employs an induction coil that is fixed to the main frame which induces a metal core on the fuser roller to heat up, virtually instantaneously. See attached image...part #5 is the coil unit.

              This design is not present in the C203, so even I am at a loss of which coil and board they are referencing. Searching the parts and service and theory manuals yields nothing on this. The fusing unit on the C203 is a self contained unit, consisting of a halogen lamp arrangment which heats up the fuser. Relative to the C451 series, very inefficient and slow warm up.

              Have you tried the copier on a dedicated circuit by itself?
