Common causes

  • 1Thermistor failure reading the heat roller temperature.
  • 2Internal halogen lamp breakage in the fuser.
  • 3Electrical disconnection in the power board to the fuser.
  • 4Short circuit in the thermal control circuit.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The machine locks up immediately upon startup or shortly after beginning to print. The fuser unit is a component that works at extremely high temperatures, so this error is a safety safeguard against fire hazards.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Turn off the machine completely and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Verify that the machine is not connected to a weak voltage stabilizer.
  3. Attempt to turn it on again; if it persists, the error is a physical fault in the thermistor.
  4. Do not attempt to disassemble the fuser unit yourself, as it contains fragile and high-heat parts.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Always use voltage regulators suitable for the consumption of a photocopier. Sudden shutdown by unplugging damages the fuser's electronic components.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

This error requires mandatory technical service as it involves replacing the fuser lamp, thermistor, or damaged pressure roller.
