Instructions for the Brother HL – 5380DN Replace Fuser Message and Reset

After 100,000 prints these machines come up with a replace fuser message. This means that it is time to replace the fusing unit in your machine. Over the years I have replaced lots of these units and have found that they rarely last longer than the 100,000 prints life. By the time the message comes up the fusing units are showing signs of extreme usage and mild to significant print quality issues. Below you will find a link to the replacement procedure and on this page you will find information  on the  Brother HL – 5380DN Replace Fuser Message and Reset  instructions.

Typical signs of wear and tear are gear dust  or bushing dust in the gear area of the fusing unit. Over time the fuser start to turn harder. This leads to wear in the gear assemblies. Leaving parts in the machine past there life cycle can lead to premature gear failure. Also, the pick fingers and thermistors gather debris on them. Overtime the debris can scratch away the outer surface of the hot roller or pressure roller. When this happens you get get indents on the paper and vertical print quality issues. Furthermore, the pressure roller can get warped and get ripples in it. When this happens the outer coating can peel away or just the ripples themselves can cause paper feed issues in the rear of the machine.
