    Do you mean the environmental sensor?
    Wonder what the prints must look like or rather feel like staked with that much toner.
    Or the waste box must be filling up at a pace.
    Whatever

    yes the temperature sensor .............. if in:
    Service Mode / State confirmation / Temp / Humidity / Atmospheric pressure.
    the temperature is zero replace the temperature sensor

    My guess based on MML lists was that his machine was doing so many image stabilizations which in turn slowly but constantly empty toners right into WTB. My first action on such a machine would be checking it. At 6k counter waste toner should weigh very little not a brick.

    you're right I think like you.
    in the c3350i series, with early firmware there was this problem of high toner waste, but here I believe there is an electronic or sensor problem not working properly.

    Maybe faulty temp/humidity sensor false readings lead machine to perform stabilizations over and over. Check readings from service mode.
    I've seen this sort of thing on other brands when the MFP is placed near an exterior door. Each time the door opens the temperature drops (winter temperatures), machine stabilizes.
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
