On the machine I was sent out to work on, the problem was pretty straight forward. When I opened the front cover to look inside I found orange junks of the lower pressure roller laying around every where. The pick fingers had eaten into the pressure roller and eventually bound up the unit causing extreme load on the fuser motor. Once the fuser was replaced the problem went away and the machine was back in business. Fusers tend to turn hard and when they have issues they even turn harder, therefore it is very important to check this part out before you go to crazy and start ordering motors and other parts.

Obviously, that is not going to be the answer to all your Ricoh, Lanier, Savin SP C250, SP C252 SC500 Error Code situations but the first thing that I would always look at would be the fusing unit. When you remove the left side cover to disconnect the fuser cables the motor is right there and easy to see. So if your in doubt then I would remove the cover and watch the motor or remove it for further inspection.
