  • 1Fuser temperature sensor (thermistor) failure.
  • 2Obstruction of the fuser cooling fans.
  • 3Usage of heavy weight paper with glue adhering to the roller.

Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

The 010-330 error is a service code. If the message reappears immediately upon trying to power up, it is a real thermal sensor problem where temperatures won't stabilize.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Turn off the unit and disconnect the power cord.
  2. Let it cool down for at least 20 minutes with the side door open.
  3. Inspect the exit of the paper path to rule out material residues trapping heat.
  4. Power on again and observe if the device completes its preparation cycle.

Prevention and Maintenance

Always use paper that meets manufacturer specifications. Adhesive residues on the fuser cause heat fluctuations that trigger this error.

When to Call a Technician

If the error reappears after a prolonged cooling period, the thermistor or the fuser lamp needs to be replaced by a certified technician.
