Replace Fuser Now Message and Reset on the Dell 2135cn Color Laser MFP

 

Fixing the Replace Fuser Now Message on the Dell 2135cn MFP

The Replace Fuser Now Message comes on after the machine has reached 40,000 prints. Follow the replacement instructions below and the reset procedure to reset the fuser life count after the part has been installed. Often times I find the main problem with these fusers is the exit assembly. If you do a lot of printing, especially full color and duplexing, toner likes to build up on the exit guide and on the paper sensor flag located in the middle of the assembly. Over time, the sensor flag will start sticking to the exit assembly when the toner heats up then cools off. After the machine has sat for a time the sensor flag will stick and when paper is fed through it will jam when it hits the sensor flag. Often times this will free the sensor up till it is allowed to cool back down then the situations starts all over again.
