Over 2 years later and you're still helping people fix their printers! I just finished replacing the fuser roller (the black one, the red one looked fine) using this video as my "step-by-step" guide, and it went off without a hitch. Well, OK, with a couple, but those were my fault and not yours! (E.g., "I can get this out without removing that first!"... "Uh, OK, I got it out fine, but in order to put it BACK, I actually DO need to remove that!") Thanks SO much for taking the time to post this so old retired people like me can get their printers fixed at a reasonable cost! (Now we'll get to see if the roller I bought was of decent quality and will last, or if I'll need to do it again!)

Just completed removal of the fuser unit, replacement of both of the rollers, quick clean and also replacement of the 4 guide rollers. Would not have attempted this without this wonderful video. All in took me 50 mins. Very happy with the job and pleased this was cheaper and I suspect greener fix of our Brother DCP-9020CDW. It now has a new lease of life. Thank you again !!!

Thanks for the informative video. It’s worth mentioning (1) When re-attaching the springs, the black plastic tabs of the rubber roller assembly (the ones with the arrows pointing outwards) need to be set such that the rubber roller and the fuses roller are touching. It’s easy to have them set in the jam-clearing position which gives a gap between the 2 rollers. (2) Removing the springs with a hook tool from the metal tabs is better than trying to do so from the plastic tabs as you did. Safer to not break the plastic. (3) When bending the tabs of the fuses roller outwards after installing the plastic gear, better to just grab the tab with needle nose pliers instead of grabbing the outside of that plastic gear as he did so as to not break teeth of the gear if it’s old and brittle. Again, great video.

Great! Took me a good 3 hours with some hiccups along the way. Especially at the replacement of the black roller where I was reinserting the gear. It wouldnt go smoothly in like with the old one so I spent a lot of time using pliers to adjust it. Ended up making some grooves on the gear which made the rotation slightly bumpy. Actually I did not have to go through that and the initial seating was fine. But everything turned out smoothly in the end and I finally have smooth paper again!

@PaoloMarcelli 2 жыл бұрын

This is something that happens even in some other brands of printers, as for Brother printers I can tell you that now at work I repair mostly the newer versions (MFC-L9570CDW) and I encountered the same defect as in this video but usually it only happens if you reset the fuser counter without replacing it, so if you use the fuser unit for more than the amount of pages that is designed to do, the older models often fail prematurely.

Thank you soooooo much for this video. Replacing the roller worked out ok although it took some time. I would probably not have done it without your detailed step-by-step instructions. (if I may, a very brief note: when you grab the little parts during reassembly, please hold them still for like a second in front of the camera to they can be more easily identified. But this is just a well-meant constructive hint and not a criticism of your great work). Another few observations. *) during reassembly, the spring was easier to grab from the other side. Before I did it the way you suggested, and I used a twist tie before finagling it down to make it easy to grab and pull. This was (for me) easier than getting in the tight space with pliers (even though I own professional jewely pliers). *) I used an old paper envelope (any paper or not-too-thick cardboard will do) and stuck the various screws in there in the order that I pulled them out. During re-assembly it was easy to just grab them in opposite order. Easy peasy. HTH.

Finally got my rollers in the mail and did this and it worked! To anyone trying this, MAKE SURE you have the right tools--you WILL need tweezers for the spring part, a small screwdriver and some needle nose pliers. Go slow and make sure to document every part and catalog each part as you go, many of them look similar. The guy in this video you can tell has a lot of experience with these so he knows how they go back together, but you will do yourself a favor to catalog everything as you go, and TAKE PICS of how everything looked BEFORE you took it apart. Pace yourself and go slow--remember this saves you almost 200 dollars (or slightly less depending on the price of the full unit for your printer), so its totally worth the time and effort! My printer is the HL-3180CDW, so if anyone else is doing this for that printer, I can verify that this works, the only thing different is the 2 wires that connect the printer on the left are both white instead of white and blue, everything else is the same.

@PaoloMarcelli 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for writing about your experience :) What you said is totally right, and also for the spring part now I use a proper spring hook (USAG 053 N) that I didn't have before. I go pretty fast in videos because then the video would be too long, but everyone should take the needed time to perform the repair. I've 7 years of experience and since November 2019 I work as a Brother authorized repair technician, it gets faster after you build knowledge and experience, but we all started from there :)

Lol I damaged mine as well. I couldn't solder it back. I pulled the tab right out of the circuit board. I did however figure a work around. All I did was got two wires, one for each of the connections on the red connector and followed where each was going to on the circuit board. Plugged each end to another clip where the circuit lead to on the board, basically jumping the board to a direct connection. Worked like a charm lol.

You're a genius, man. Thanks a lot. You made me save a lot of money and plastic waste. It took me 2 hours to replace the rollers, now I have a printer like new! My black roller was exactly like yours, and I've never tried to print on adhesive paper, so I think that the problem is the printer. By the way a small metallic piece fell from the unit while changing the rollers and I couldn't find its place, so my printer has a piece missing now... Hope it's not very important to make it work 🤷😁

Thank you so much for doing this video. I know they are a lot of work! For the most part I had the needed tools at hand and it took me 1-1-1/4 hours, as I had to stop the video and complete the actions you outline, which I totally expected. If I may make a couple suggestions, please. At one point, when it came to rerouting cables, you fast-forwarded through the process. This was a point where I wanted more time to see what was going on, not less. At several points it would have been helpful if you could have paused at least a second or two at the end of key steps so I could have seen the result. As it was, a couple of times the completed step was partially offscreen or your hand was in the way so the result never showed up. The video was also a bit dark with shadows at times. Again, thanks for these instructions - they are MUCH MORE helpful than just reading text. You took a somewhat intimidating process and made it a lot easier. Thanks!

Thanks! Another success with HL-3170 back to life and saving from landfill! Suggestions (1) the internal rollers appears to have OEM white tape rolled on, I removed anyway as your video has done..others noted similar (2) Reattaching the springs, I did the alternate side final attach as appears much easier with a small device to pull (3) fast video on the wires reattach, just have to slow it down. Feel like a electronic heart surgeon now :)
