1. Ask the customer if there are any specific machine functions that are noisy.
2. Identify the source of the noise by exercising the machine in all modes.
3. Where possible use diagnostics to run individual components.
4. Go to the relevant subsection:
• Main Drives and Paper Transport
• LSU
• DADF
• Tray 2
5. Refer to Possible Causes and Potential Solutions.

Possible Causes and Potential Solutions
Go to the relevant procedure:
• Squeaks
• Unusual Noise from the Scanner Assembly
• Grinding Noise from the Fuser Assembly
Squeaks
Possible causes are:
• Contamination of the bushings and drive shafts.
Solution:
– Clean the components.
– Plastic bushings should be cleaned and lubricated with compatible grease.
– Install new components as necessary.
• Bearings in cooling fans
Solution:
– Install new components as necessary.
• Mis-adjusted or worn drive belts.
Solution:
– Install new components as necessary.
• Mis-aligned or damaged parts.
Solution:
– Check for parts that are damaged or out of position.
– Adjust the components if appropriate.
– Install new components as necessary.
• Noise from the DADH input tray document guides.
Solution:
– Clean the DADH input tray in the area beneath the input guides.
Unusual Noise from the Scanner Assembly
Possible causes are:
• Mis-aligned or damaged parts.
• Defective motor driver.
Solution:
• Check the position of the scan motor and associated gears, PL 14.11.
• Ensure the CCD module, PL 14.11 Item 2, moves freely.
• Install new components as necessary, PL 14.11.
Grinding Noise from the Fuser Assembly
Possible causes are:
• Defective thermistor.
• Poor crimp and weld quality between the wire and thermistor terminal.
• Bonding of the fuser assembly heat and pressure rollers, PL 10.15.
Solution:
• Check the wiring and connection to the thermistor, PL 10.12 Item 16.
• Install new components as necessary, Fuser assembly, PL 10.10 Item 1, Thermistor PL
10.12 Item 16.
