Troubleshooting Aids for the 57.04 Error on the HP Laserjet  P3015 Printer

The 57.04  Error in the HP laserjet  P3015  machine is related to the  main cooling fan  on the right side of the machine.  While you most likely will be replacing the main cooling fan to resolve this error I’d like to talk a little bit about the 57.04 error and see if there is anyway we can resolve the  problem without replacing the fan, Main Cooling Fan – LJ P3015, RK2-1497-000CN.

1. Check the surroundings. You should have a least a 4 to 6 inch clearance around the whole machine. People love to lean things against the side of the machines so make sure that is not happening. I also see a lot of these in the medical field that have replaced the old 4000 series. Because they are on the desk receptionist like to stick post it notes, pictures, and paper to the sides of the machine. Sometimes because of this, tape of other objects can get stuck in the vents and get up into the fan assembly resulting in the fan not moving. So make sure this isn’t happening.

Gently, manually move the fan blades to make sure they rotate relatively freely. Turn the machine on and see if the fan moves. If not carefully give it a little nudge. Sometimes when these fans age the bearings start to lock up. Once in a while a little push will get them working which can point you in the right direction.

4. No matter which way you look at it. Unless you found some foreign object in the  fan and simply removing it fixed the problem you will be replacing the fan. Anytime I get a fan error I’ve learned not to even screw around with it. Just replace it because it’s simple, easy,   cheap, and you don’t have to worry about call backs.
