CP 4024 59.F0

**Robinh** · 09-09-2021

I read a tip that this 59.F0 code on a CP 4025, was caused by a sticky solenoid in the fuser drive assy. I tore this baby down, and sure enough that foam was coming apart. Cleaned it all up, and I thought I successfully tested the drive clutch, but still getting the 59.F0 error. :-(

My sensors are all working, it's just not driving the belt. I'm thinking I'm going to have to replace the fuser drive assy, but if anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. I attached a pic of the solenoid

Thanks

Robin

sorry for the typo in the title.

If the solenoid has magnetized it will have the same effect as the foam sticking. When I remove the foam, I replace it with a disk of control panel sticker or electrical tape, to prevent the metal actuator from contacting the core. You might try replacing the solenoid first. =^..^=

I've cleaned a ton of these solenoids on earlier models, and I can usually get them to stick outside the machine. This one wouldn't stick, I wasn't convinced the solenoid is causing the problem. But I've suffered from tunnel vision before, and will try your advice. I wonder if I can salvage a solenoid from a part machine?

Thanks,

Robin

Blackcat4866, I wanted to follow up and let you know, I pulled the solenoid back out, took it apart and whacked the flapper to discharge any magnetism, then I applied a bit of thick duct tape, to replace the foam bit I cleaned off, and the 59.F0 code cleared. You're advice was dead on. Thank you.
