Replace fuser Samsung CLP-670

[Andie]

Can anyone advise me on how to replace the fuser unit in the top of the Samsung CLP-670? I thought it looked straightforward, as there are green clips that looked like they would release the existing unit and then I could drop the new one in place. But it doesn't seem to want to budge. Am I just being too gentle?

I've solved this. For anyone else who needs help:

 

Turn off the power and remove the power lead. Slightly open the front cover that gives access to the toner. Open the top grey cover above the display panel.

 

There is a screw to the right of the fuser unit on the printer. Remove this and the short length of plastic that is attached to it. Pull forwards the two green levers on the front of the fuser unit. Hold down the two green clips to the rear of the fuser unit. Lift out fuser unit.

 

Open new fuser unit box and remove new fuser unit. Pull forward the two green levers on this fuser unit. Hold down the two green clips on this fuser unit and slot the new fuser into place. Push forward the two levers and close the black paper flap over these.

 

Close the printer grey covers.

 

Access the Tech menu to reset the fuser counter as follows:

 

1. Turn the machine on and make sure the display reads Ready (along with any other messages).

2. Press in rapid succession the following keys: Menu - Back - Left - Right - OK - Stop - Menu.

3. The screen should now show a menu (if not repeat until it does!), you can choose between the Tech Menu and the User Menu, choose Tech Menu and press OK.

4. Scroll to Data Setup and press OK.

5. Scroll to Counter Reset and press OK.

6. Scroll to Fuser and press OK.

7. Screen briefly shows Clearing...

8. Power off the machine, wait at least 20 seconds, then power on the machine. This clears the Tech menu and properly resets the counter.

 

I also did a fuser clean print job, from the normal user menu, and printed the demo page also from the normal user menu. This was just to make sure everything was OK.
