Dell 1815dn Low Heat Cycle Power Error Code Troubleshooting

 

Repair Advice and Tips for the Dell 1815dn Low Heat Cycle Power Message

These machines are starting to get on in age but they can still be a good machine to keep around. They tend to be pretty durable and can handle larger print volumes than what most believe. The fusing assemblies are rated at around 80,000 prints and copies but the machines doesn’t come up and tell you when it is time to replace it like more modern machines. Therefore, most the calls we get on them are when errors occur. The Dell 1815dn Low Heat Cycle Power message is one of three fuser error codes on this machine. Below I’d like to give a few tips on trying to resolve this message and links to purchase a new fuser if needed and a link to instructions for easy replacement.

The low heat error on these and most machines means either at warm up, during printing, or at an idle state the thermistor in the fusing assembly is reading a lower than expected temperature for a specific time frame. In the picture above, circled in red, is the thermistor.

Troubleshooting the Dell 1815dn Low Heat Cycle Power

1. Turn the power off then back on.

2. Check the power source. Make sure the machine is plugged straight into a wall outlet.

3. Remove the fusing assembly and check the thermistor for debris built up on the contacts. Gently clean contact and make sure that when installed it rides on the top of the hot roller.

4. Check for continuity through the lamp and thermostats.

5. Replace the Fusing assembly. See the instructions in the link below.
