Great instructions. I like how you stopped the video and circled areas of interest, how you explain each step, and show errors encountered along the way. Since I don't have an ultrasonic cleaner, I soaked the pieces in a small container of hot water. Over the course of a couple days I would swish the head pieces around in the water bath and replace the water. I then used a syringe to push through any remaining dried ink, and then used a can of compressed air to dry the pieces. After putting it all together again (and thanks for the reverse instructions!), I was able to print a nozzle check page. It's going to take a couple more head cleanings and one replacement cartridge (now the machine doesn't recognize the magenta cartridge, which was low anyway) - but it's working! Really happy that, at least for now, we don't have to replace the entire unit. Thank you for taking the time to put this all together.

My Epson Workforce WF-3640 was from Costco and had an additional white ribbon connector (so three total), but with your very clear and detailed directions I was able to mark the ribbon ends so I would know what went where, and continue with the process. It worked eventually. I had to clean the printer heads and run test papers 5 times. I still don't have 100% clear lines on the test runs, but at least the Error Code 97 is gone and I am printing again. I used armed up denatured alcohol instead of window cleaner. It worked just fine. So much ink came out. Gosh the ports were clogged to heck and back. Thank you so much for this and for your generosity to the Epson Owner Community.

OMG. you have NOOOOO idea what this video did for me. I have the WF3640 and literally NOTHING worked. The error 0xEA was stopping me from using my printer completely. And because of your very simplified instructions, I was able to completely flush out & clean all the hardware to now hopefully get my stupid printer working again. Thank you so so much. This was so helpful!!

I was ready to trash my Epson Workforce WF-7610 printer. The print head was completely clogged - even after several cleaning cycles (which depleted couple sets of new ink cartridges) and even trying those cleaning kits on eBay with a syringe, tube and fluid, the printer just "printed" blank sheets. I came across your video, followed your instructions to the "T" and assembled everything back. After running just 1 cleaning cycle, I was so surprised to see all 4 color lines on the nozzle check. Two more cleaning cycles and the color copies looking wonderful! I get a paper jam error during printing with the paper getting stuck just under the rollers near the print head rails - I presume some rollers may have got wet. Will dry the unit for a day and try again. Kevin - you are awesome!

hello,i also clean my epson workfoce wf-7621 printer accroding to the video. I came across the video ,follow the instruction, i put the pinter into the ultrasonic cleaner and add water to clean. After cleaning, the printer head circuit board was dried with an electric hair dayer. then i put the print head on for two days before installing the pinter. when i use the pinter to print the test page,the printer prints blank paper and reports an error of 0*97. I want to ask if the error is caused by the burned print head? is there any way to measure whether the pinter head is burned?

I tried to unclog the printhead from Epson R280 - first with traditional methods (using cleaning liquid and syringe dumping the liquid into the pad below the head). I managed to unclog some nozzles. Then i tried to clean the head with soaking it into isopropyl alcohol (as some others on youtube suggested). I was able to unclog about 80% of the nozzles. Then I read about using ultrasonic cleaners and ordered one. I was rather cautious, and did not soak entire head - only the nozzle side. About 1 minute was sufficient to kill the printhead. The ultrasonic destroyed the glue layer which attaches the nozzle plate to glass piezo substrate. As the result, while few more nozzles were unclogged, the ink chambers now leak into each other and the head is not usable. The water fed into in ink port gets out through another. I removed the bracket holding the nozzle plate - and to my surprise, I was able to take it off... I am not sure if the problem was caused by the solvent or the age of the printhead - but before ultrasonic stage the leakage did not happen. I will post the pictures later showing the head internals and the effect of ultrasonic cleaning. But for Epson heads it is certainly a head killer. Maybe BCH will tell how the glue layer may be restored?

Currently I have ET 4550 Epson eko tank and It was working without any issue for 5 years, 2600 pages with one tank , until now . Black color is probably clogged . I will try this method to clean print head as soon I get Ultrasonic Cleaning Solution.

Great video. I pulled mine apart and did my best to clean it. Didn't have an ultrasonic cleaner but did push cleaner through the print head with the syringe to confirm all were clear. Note that one was extremely clogged and originally didn't print anything on the nozzle check. Still not printing 100%. Suspect there is still air and/or cleaning fluid somewhere in the system . Will run through a couple of cleaning cycles again.

So I think it must be electronic, which means I'll have to buy a new printer, which is not too difficult to swallow given the Workforce is 12 years old. I'll miss it though. Great printer.

Great video. Thanks for the detailed steps. I have this printer that sat in storage for a year. When I took it out to use it again, I opted to install new OEM ink cartridges right away. After installing them, I can't get any ink out onto the paper (via regular printing or nozzle check, or print head cleaning) and the unit isn't showcasing any error codes, despite new cartridges, lots of paper, etc. Any idea what the issue is, as I would have thought an error would come up somewhere. I have done three print head cleanings and still no luck. Any help from anyone on this is very much appreciated!

It’s great that this is exactly the model I have. I figured maybe it’s just not getting enough ink yet?? Most everything I’ve looked at is saying it’s about a jam or something involving a previous print job. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Any help would be much appreciated.

Excellent.. I have the same model with power and red light inside powerboats but nothing bon control panel. Power supply has correct voltages and power button is connecting fine.. however no lights at all and no display... perhaps transistors on mb. I like your videos very helpful. I wonder if with all the work to unclog the print head ..if it's worth having a spare head cleaned and ready to swap over.. trouble is they don't swap quickly however quicker than unclogging on the fly..

I try to answer subscriber questions within 48 hours, so I’m glad you reached out. It sounds like the issue might be a blown transistor on the mainboard, but I’d recommend double-checking that the control panel is fully connected first. If everything is plugged in properly, the transistor or the F1 fuse is likely the culprit. Having a spare printhead ready is a solid plan. Swapping printheads isn’t instant, but it’s often quicker than dealing with clogs on the fly, so it can definitely save time. Thanks again for being part of the community - let me know if you need more info or run into anything else!

we are officially at the point where epson print heads now only cost $20... back in 2018, they were about $160, lucky if you could find it for at lealst $100 or 89, then one day they hit $65... and now... $20 :3 it's a good idea to have it replaced once a year, also ease up on head cleanings, you'll ruin your capping station.
@armarra

Oh.... Well then, $20 isn't too bad.. perhaps get two spare and clean them while other is Being used. They don't swap over that easily but at $20 a pop you could afford to drop them into cleaning fluid in an ultrasonic cleaner as is..may as well save on that at least for a hands off clean.

I have always used Epson ink in my WF-3640 with the exception of one time. The black ink worked for a couple weeks, then clogged up. I did a few head cleanings from the control panel, then replaced the black ink with Epson ink. After a few more head cleanings and letting the machine set for a day, I tried printing again. I could see black ink this time, though a little light. After one more head cleaning, voilá, it was perfect. I will never use any ink but Epson in my WF-3640.

Waited an hour did it again no change. I had to stop for now because i need more ink. Is it normal to go through so much ink during this process? Where is all the ink going?

Ciao, grazie per il video, so o due giorni che cerco in rete diversi modi per sbloccare la mia epson et 2721 ecotank, la stampante è nuova, non ha lavorato molto solo che è stata ferma. Gli inchiostri si devono essere seccato. Mi farebbe piacere se mi contattassi per ulteriori info. Cmq ho sbloccato i serbatoi e le cartucce. Ora sembra che l'inchiostro arrivi bene alle cartucce aspirando con la siringa, forse è la testina e gli ugelli ad essere intasati, ho usato acqua distillata calda e poca ammoniaca, ho privato a spingere dagli ugelli ma il liquido esce molto lentamente in due colorientre in altri due esce più veloce. Solo che stampando i test in wuadrimomia non ritorna una stampa limpida e nel test ugelli non si vede nulla, anche se dopo la seconda pulizia sbrava dare segni di vita poi subito dopo il foglio tornava quasi bianco. Spero che non ho rovinato la testina spingendo liquido dentro

They replaced the heads on a many owners after they could not hide the fact anymore, but the us bastards, that found this problem after the offer expired were out of luck. I had gone thru 3 of this line (WorkForce) before I realized how stupid I was to be loyal to them!

Hey Kevin. I cleaned my printhead like you had shown here, but when all back together I'm getting a 0x9a error now. Can you advise as to what that code is and what might be the issue?

3 Epson printers later, I am done with them, they all clog and then are a brick. The latest was a p400 and within one year, banding, and then the inevitable CYAN jet clog. I switched to Canon, I hope that is better. I always used OEM inks, was careful, but the Epson still clogged.

When you start taking it apart, where are you physically doing that at on the printer? Your video skips to already having top off or something. I need it from the beginning please. Anyone know?

I unclogged everything via the method shown in the video, but for some reason the ink from the ink cartridges are still not going through. Not sure if one of the ink chips have become corrupted,etc. I feel like it's simply not heating the ink at all when I do a nozzle clean operation. Printer is fairly new (2019 WF-3620). New ink cartridges don't do anything as well.

Thank you so much for this great video: I’m not sure what I did wrong but when I reassembled it all and printed, there isn’t a drop of ink coming out on print or copy. Could I have put something back together incorrectly? There are no error messages and everything sounds and looks correct. Thanks!

Did you ever solve this? I have exactly the same issue. Took the print head out, cleaned it thoroughly and reassembled. And after 10 print head cleaning runs, it is just sending out blank white paper. And no error messages to indicate the printer thinks there is a problem.

Thanks for the video! If someone is using this printer constantly it would probably be a great printer. But, if not and the ink starts to set up…. I don’t have a sonic cleaner sitting around and to send it in for repair costs more than the dang thing is worth. Just a bad design. You should be able to flush the ink out of the ports if it isn’t going to be used constantly. Sadly mine is going in the recycle bin.

The liquid you use to clean the printer nozzle head is it alcohol? Cuz I was wondering if I can use alcohol to clean it.
@BCHTechnologies

Alcohol is used for solvent inks. For this water-based ink, you can use hot water. The cleaning solution works a little better but water is fine if you don't have cleaning solutions.

Hi buddy. I watched your video, there is good information. My question to you: What is the formula of the cleaning liquid you use? I would appreciate if you give information. Thank you.

Thanks so much for subscribing and supporting the channel! Your engagement helps us get closer to our 100k goal, and I really appreciate you being part of the community. For the cleaning liquid, the formula varies depending on the type of ink your printer uses. At BCH Technologies, we offer three cleaning solutions - clear, green, and red - each designed for different ink types. The clear solution works for both dye and pigment inks and is the mildest option. The green solution is stronger and handles dye, pigment, and sublimation inks. The red solution is the most powerful, targeting severe clogs but should be used carefully. If you’re dealing with DTF or DTG inks, we also have a MaxStrength™ solution that’s perfect for those tough white ink clogs. Printer maintenance can get tricky, and sometimes a clog is just part of the bigger picture. If you ever need more in-depth troubleshooting, check out our other videos or feel free to ask - subscriber questions are usually answered within 48 hours. Thanks again for being part of the channel, and good luck with your printer!

Great video. But after I cleaned and reassembled the printhead, the printer screeched as it was about 1 inch from the left hand side, and gave me a OXEA message. The carriage tape is not twisted. Any suggestions? Again thanks for all your efforts at training us mere mortals to cope with modern technology!
