Brother intelliFAX-2910 Fuser Replacement Procedure
Below you will find the illustrated Brother intelliFAX-2910 Fuser Replacement Procedure. One problem people have with this machine is according jamming in the rear of the unit. Because it happens in the fusing unit, people tend to think they need replace the fuser. However, in most cases it’s the exit rollers. The main problem I have with these fusers is scratches in the surface that cause creases on the paper or faint grey lines that don’t get fixed when you change the toner or drum unit.
There are two types of fusers for this model. You can either go by the serial number or the thermistor cable. One has a white thermistor cable and the other has a gray cable. If you look at step 5., I have circled the cable in question.

The tricky part of this repair, for myself, is putting the exit assembly back in. This will take a little bit of patience. Also, if you have the exit assembly out, it might not hurt to clean the exit rollers inside of the machine. They are known troublemakers when they get dirty.
