Diagnóstico rápido

C4000 shows up after the initial warm-up. If you hear a rhythmic clicking before the code appears, a drum unit is likely causing the drag.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Disconnect and open the front panel.
  2. Extract drum kits to check for debris.
  3. Rotate shafts manually to verify smooth movement.
  4. Blow out any excess toner dust from gear bays.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Only use genuine Kyocera toners. Routine annual servicing helps keep internal gear lubrication at optimal levels.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If drum units rotate freely and the machine still locks with C4000, the main motor driver board has likely failed.
