59.F0 Error HP M477 HP M452 How to fix!! How to replace transfer belt and fuser

[@VideobyHomeworks]

Your instructions were spot on. I successfully salvaged a really nice printer following your step-by-step guidance. Great job!

[@rodrickmrema8689]

Yo, thanks man. I had to fix someone's laptop in an organization I am working. It had serious jamming paper problem and I thought of taking it to the technician. But after watching this video for about 8 mins I had fixed the problem. Thanking you once again.

[@truthorconsequence9757]

I am so grateful for this video, you did an outstanding job teaching how to fix this machine. The step-by-step beginning with the side covers was fantastic. I did this inch by inch with your direction and my printer M477 is fixed. I was in the middle of printing a manuscript when this 59.F0 error code popped. Ordered the part and watched this video and all is well. Many thanks and may you have many blessings.

[@KenKyleRacing]

Glad it was helpful to you!

[@Weapon7x]

This video is extremely helpful, but I still feel I should get a medal after completing all of this.

[@KenKyleRacing]

If it works when you put it back together you 100% deserve a medal. I'm good on them now, but the first 10 times or so I did it were iffy. Usually forgot to plug the interconnect board ribbon cable back into dc controller, so I'd get a blank display when I turned it on.

[@zachariousoftroy]

Thank you! Despite the brief goofs here and there, this video was a lifesaver for me and my university! Definitely recommend for anyone dealing with this error, in my case it was an m477 duplex

[@Completejetting]

Great video. Theres not many engineers that will go into that much detail regarding replaceing the belt.

[@KenKyleRacing]

Thanks! I do phone support for a lot of techs that are several hours drive away, so I try to cover every single thing that anyone could possibly run into in the vids. Some of the things I've gotten hung up on myself. Machines are a lot more complicated than the good old days!

[@fhisg]

This is fantastic, thanks! I found here because I needed to clean the transfer belt of a printer someone gave me for repair. The magenta toner leaked. So: get the belt unit out, clean it, put it back in - all good.

[@jakwagn]

Massive thanks for the video. I had the same error on my M452dn. I actually just cleaned the transfer roller and put it back together. FIXED!! (maybe for a little while lol).

[@Sys_333]

Thanks for the video. It helped me to open de printer, takte out the fuser and find the paper wrapped around the roller INSIDE the fuser 🤣😂 But it was already baked onto the roller. I can't unwrap the paper from the roller. So I have to exchange the roller itself.🤞

[@CLAYTONCHAN1]

Great video. Thank you for sharing this information. I have this 59.F0 error on the exact same HP printer. I have been turning my unit off and on many times...but suspect this will lead to a transfer belt replacement which I am dreading...but with your inspiration I may have to succumb to following your lead. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. -

[@KenKyleRacing]

Honestly the covers are the hardest part. Maybe try taking the covers off first, then if you are successful with getting them off go ahead and order the new belt. If you have the 452 printer only version, the covers are a little easier than the 477 but still tougher than other models.

[@JAYCRIMINAL1]

Will this cause you to have a paper jam message for the back? As it’s telling me I have a paper jam in the back but there’s nothing there.

[@KenKyleRacing]

No. You probably need to replace the fuser if it boots straight up to that message. If it only happens after you send a job to it, it would most likely need pickup roller replaced.

[@JAYCRIMINAL1]

@@KenKyleRacing comes on soon as you turn it on (jam in print paper path open rear door & clear paper)

[@ИльяКузнецов-х9б]

Thank you very much! It`s helpful video.

[@technology2589]

Great Video - thank you! I have an HP 477 FDW - smudging/copying information on the left side when I print out documents. When scanning electronically to my computer the page cuts off and the entire document is being saved. What do you think the causes are? Do I need to replace the Fuser or a combination of the fuser and the transfer belt? Fuser P/N? Transfer Belt P/N?. Thanks.

[@KenKyleRacing]

If you are getting smearing on printouts, it is most likely the fuser. I have not seen a transfer belt on this model cause any print quality issues as of yet. Duplex fuser is RM2-6460, simplex fuser is RM2-6431. Transfer belt is RM2-6454.

[@TravThompson]

Printing blank pages after changing the transfer belt, any ideas?

[@KenKyleRacing]

@TravThompson i had that happen once, a second transfer belt fixed it. Make sure you get the plastic pawls seated properly in the side after putting new belt in. Might be worth double checking those are in correctly on current belt as well. Weird thing on mine, after i got blank pages on new belt, i put original belt in that was having intermittent 59 errors and i got blank pages with that one too. 2nd new belt and it was back to normal again. Still baffled by that entire experience.

[@TravThompson]

Removing it and re-seating it fixed my problem. Worked for a little bit but my error returned. I think it’s a solenoid issue, looking for that video now :)

[@jstinn123]

For a printer with Event Code 13.10.14 but no actual paper jam, I took it apart to be sure and found nothing. Do you have experience with that error code? its a MFP480.

[@KenKyleRacing]

@jstinn123 if it says jam but no paper jammed, it's usually the feed rollers

[@jstinn123]

@@KenKyleRacing I did find a fragment of paper above the fuser.

[@KenKyleRacing]

Fusers can also cause jamming issues. They're a little easier to swap than the transfer belt.

[@truthblastbroadcasting391]

I replaced the pressure roller now the fuser is having a hard time going in flush on the wiring side. Did I do something wrong. I also have an extra white part that I can’t recognize

[@KenKyleRacing]

Might want to just replace the entire fuser.

[@truthblastbroadcasting391]

Thanks I just bought one, it’s a tight spot for me because it’s for a church my wife works for and I thought i was doing something special by rebuilding but at the end of the day I should have just got the fuser in the first place

[@truthblastbroadcasting391]

I’m still not recognizing the white piece it looks like an L and has two circular holes in it and a part sticking out. I’m afraid it’s something important

[@KenKyleRacing]

@@truthblastbroadcasting391 haven't heard of anyone having luck rebuilding this model. Just make sure you get correct fuser, duplex and non duplex models take different fusers.

You do need to replace it with a new one.

[@emmanuelavoka2679]

@@KenKyleRacing Ok. Thank you.

[@fhisg]

Today I cleaned the belt on my own M477, put it back in, but NO...the printer refuses to print or copy anything in color. The event log shows a recent "Color plane registration sensor error" but what is this thing? Where's that sensor located?

[@KenKyleRacing]

It is failing the calibration because there is color. Probably needs a new transfer belt but I have also seen nearly end of life toner cartridges cause it to not print color

[@fhisg]

@@KenKyleRacingThanks, it printed color just fine before I cleaned the transfer belt - except for a few spots (reason I attempted to clean it in the first place). Also, all cartridges are well over 50% full. I'll continue to look for that sensor as the official manual - HP document number c05049253 - says "the sensor might need to be replaced". Maybe I just need to clean it once I find it.

[@KenKyleRacing]

@fhisg 50% doesn't mean anything, the cartridges are rated for a specific number of pages and once you go past that number they can cause all kinds of issues. I think black is good for 2600 and the colors are good for 2000. There is nothing to clean on the belt, if there were print quality issues previously it would be the color the issue was with. The fuser can also cause print quality issues when it is worn out, those will typically be colored splotches towards the side of the printed page

[@fhisg]

@@KenKyleRacing "if there were print quality issues previously it would be the color the issue was with." - yes, but with excessive toner on the belt I needed to clean that first. I forgot to mention that I also tried swapping cartridges with the ones from a working M477. It made no difference, only got black & white copies. Do you happen to know what this "plane registration sensor" is? Which unit is it part of?

[@fhisg]

According to an HP representative that sensor is inside the transfer belt unit. Running Print Quality > Color Calibration and Service > Cleaning multiple times eventually seems to have resolved the issue.

[@danromero8283]

@@KenKyleRacing all toners are new and original

[@r.t.1942]

what will cause light printing on a m477 , toner is full

[@KenKyleRacing]

Just because toner is full doesn't mean the drum inside the cartridge isn't shot. They are light sensitive, so leaving the drum exposed to light will kill them pretty quickly. On this model I have not seen anything outside of the cartridges cause light printing (assuming machine has not been taken apart). If machine has been taken apart, I have seen other technicians damage the leads on the ribbon cable on formatter and cause very light print on black only. You should print solid pages of black, red, blue and yellow to verify if it is one specific color or all 4.

[@r.t.1942]

@@KenKyleRacing never been apart just started this month printing very light the blk is not really blk and so forth for color, im not sure whats going on and the toner is after market would that make a difference

[@KenKyleRacing]

@@r.t.1942 definitely could be aftermarket toner, that's definitely a lot more likely than machine causing it. Transfer belt could cause light print but I have not seen one go bad in that way on this model yet.

Great video. How much should I expect to pay to get the same type of repair done? Parts and labor? Just trying to see if its worth fixing or just buy a new one. Thank you

[@KenKyleRacing]

Entirely dependent on if you find a competent person to do it, you'd be surprised how rare it is in this field. It only takes half an hour tops for me to replace one, the belt itself costs anywhere from 80-350 depending on whether it is remanufactured or if it's brand new directly from HP.

[@ElectroPozitive]

Its amazing video, i like it, thanks for sharing.

[@camelCased]

Ah, I wish there were videos about replacing the belt alone, not the entire assembly. The assembly for my M254nw costs 180 EUR, and for that price, I can almost buy a new printer (150nw costs 200 EUR). However, I can get the belt alone from China for about 50 EUR, and then it would be worth repairing. I found only a few Russian videos about replacing the belt alone. It's quite tricky but doable. No idea, why English people don't do that :D

[@KenKyleRacing]

I've never seen anything on replacing belt alone on any of the hp models.

[@camelCased]

@@KenKyleRacing Yeah, even HP repair manuals do not have instructions for replacing the belt separately; so that's an unofficial repair. I cannot post a direct link to the video because of KZbin filters, but the best and newest video (in Russian) I found is titled as follows: Hp Color LaserJet M252 замена плёнки переноса изображения You can skip to 14:25 where he disassembles the ITB unit and replaces the belt itself. It's quite finicky and the belt is quite fragile - a slip of the screwdriver is unforgivable. Unfortunately, it is not always visible what exactly he's doing, but at least it shows the general idea. If the belt can get damaged that easily by paper and toner dust, manufacturers should make it user-replaceable as a disposable. I'm all for rights-to-repair :)

hello friend.. I have an HP 477 FDW, AND IT IS WITH AN ERROR CALLED 50.79...QAUL ENGINE SHOULD I CHANGE? RM2-7344???? thanks

It would be the fuser causing that error, I think the correct part number is RM2-6418. Duplex and simplex machines take different fusers so you want to make sure you get the correct one.

That part number doesn't exist in the manual or on google, I'd guess it's probably a piece of the fuser, but that is just a guess. Fusers and transfer belts are about the only things that go bad on these models.
