How To Replace The HP M452 M377 M477 M454 M479 Printer Fuser Instructions. RM2-6431 RM2-6418

[@ggill4135]

Super video. Print quality on M477FDW is great, and it auto duplexes. Started printing repeat blobs at side of page. Found this video, bought identical printer on eBay for $1 and switched the unit across using your video. Worked first time, delighted!!! Great instructions. Thanks for posting.

[@BusinessMan1619]

Made it look easy. I've got to replace a fuser in one of these next. Love how you did that and didn't pull the left or right side covers off.

[@Discovery_Overland]

I have an m479. On the cyan only, the range from approximately mid tone of the image and above will just fill in losing all the detail of the image…again, cyan only. I’ve tried multiple cartridges and also an original hp cyan cartridge. Same problem. Can this have something to do with the laser and mirrors? Can they be easily cleaned? I did restore the printer to original factory settings with no luck. Thoughts?

Ich benötigte das Video zwar nur bis 0:55, um das Cover für die Fixiereinheit zu entfernen, aber ohne hätte ich es wohl nicht geschafft! Nur so konnte ich den kleinen Schnipsel entfernen, der meinen Drucker stillgelegt hat. Sehr hilfreich zur Behebung eines Papierstaus in einem HP 452dn!

[@davidbartonjr]

OK. 1. Dude, you rock! This totally helped. Got mine replaced and it works great. 2. What about these four extra screws and this flat metal plate that I have left over... 3. Anyone else doing this, when you are putting it back together, you see his hand in the top middle. Pull that plastic flap up or the top won't go back down into place. (This took me a few minutes to figure out.) 4. Where should I send the beer? You probably saved me a few hundred dollars on hiring this out.

[@repro7780]

New fuser - $500. New printer - $500. Not a tough choice, HP, which is probably the point.

[@revision_spirit5582]

Great video, got mine replaced without any issues.

[@michaelrodriguez1244]

Thanks for the video. I attempted my fuser swap, however the ribbon cable that connects between both boards had to be disconnected on my device. Now after I placed everything back together, I'm getting error message: "Engine Cable Connection Issue". Any ideas on what I can try to remedy this issue? Thanks for your time and attention.

[@timbacino4559]

Great vid. Question, one of my co-workers mistakenly used a Ink Jet photo paper instead of laser photo paper. Since then, the laser printing has streaks. I've tried cleaning and wiping down but to no avail. New cartridges too. Thoughts on what I need to clean or replace?

[@somudmedi143]

Thanku very much, it helped me alot

[@mikemccleary1029]

Thank you for good quality concise video. Well Done!!

[@cathyalbrecht2637]

we have a m477 and just replaced the fuser. Not complicated just time consuming. However, now all color prints are printing in magenta only. Does this have anything to do with fuser replacement or another issue possibly?

[@Las_Vegas_Real_Estate]

How do you know if the fusserl is bad? Thank you...Good luck!

[@adquestit6480]

Thx! tho in my case was a small spring that came of on the left side of the fuser. only way to put it back was to pull out the fuser! cheers!

[@geochafg]

why some one would change the fuser of a m452 and not replace the entire printer? just curious! I just bought a refurbished m452dn with 21k pages with X toners and i love it!

[@wbmaxon]

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing

What is the part right below the fuser it has a glossy black film over 2 rollers.

Did they change the solenoid on the fuser assembly? The old one is red and the new one is orange and bigger

Glad it was helpful!

[@terryrlowe]

After installing the fuser, all of the pages print full color pink/magenta. The demo pages, the information pages, printed forms, all of them. Any suggestions on what I need to do to correct this? I have removed the ink cartridges and shaken them up per another video...but no luck.

[@Pmason718]

Which one of those part numbers is for the M452?

[@ebc-encompass4757]

My 477fdw top paper feeder is 90 degrees off your illustration. Therefore, one cannot loosen the 1st 3 screw and then pop back the side panels. Actually, I was trying to clear a small bit of torn paper from the cleaning fuser path, so I gave up. The printer is old, and replacing the fuser is no longer the best financial approach, anyway.

[@TheHumanSwissArmyKnife]

Don't assume the Fuser is bad. You made a Great visual, I actually opened the fuser cover, which is the first plate and found a long thin piece of paper jammed in the fuser path. I removed it the unit was good to go !! These fuses are notorious for getting too hot and having paper and debris fuse on to the roller rendering it useless and replacement is needed. I ordered one on Amazon and it was a bad unit and I then trashed the copier as it’s not worth my time. E

[@metrofuser]

Thanks for sharing

[@juicebomb]

this is exactly what I found. we barely use the printer so it seemed unlikely that the fuser would have pooped out. I used needle nose pliers to fish out the page fragment.

[@mgm5457]

What is the purpose of the lowest or Third roller on these printers ?? it appears that it might be heated or used to heat the Pink lower pressure roller ???

[@Juleru]

Thanks for the video! My printer says "paper jam" but I can't find the actual paper anywhere. HP's support is useless, they told me that they can get me a quote for a new one but refuse to even try repairing this one (because we need more electronic waste, right...). Is it possible that the paper is stuck inside the fuser? If so, is it possible to remove it or would I have to buy a new fuser (HP support said that they're the same price as a new full printer)?

[@marianogarcia8957]

Thanks thou . muchas muchas gracias,

[@americanpatriot2.06]

Mine is a CF379A HP Color LaserJet MFP M477fdw duplex model with the additional 550 feeder tray. I had several paper jams during the reverse function for the 2nd side print. It's clear the fuser is bad and there is a small ladder looking piece on the bottom edge with a little rollers that broke in half. I also have an odd print transfer on both sides of my paper on every single page. I'm not sure if that is part of the fuser, or a different part. I've had it for about six years and use it daily. I got tired of the excessively overpriced little ink cartridges that don't last very long for your home use printers. So I opted for the more business use M477fdw. I use the extra capacity ink cartridges and in a years time, I spend half the money to replace all four of them one time than the little ones for the same amount of printing every 3-4 weeks!

[@adamnox2268]

mine gives error 55.30.00 after replacement. I checked and the cords look and feel secure, but maybe not? Can't find anything about what would cause this.

I have to replace a fuser on a m477fdn. Can't seem to find the correct fuser. Help please?

[@billmcdonald1296]

May I ask if your Phillips bit is magnetized? If so where did you get it? The ones I have are OK as far as the magnet but have very little grip on the screw head and easily strip the screw.

[@playboxlimited.]

[@FalconzVideos]

Did you simply turn the fuser around and reinstall it or did you actually install a new fuser? I cannot tell it just looks like you took the old fuse or out and flipped it around and reinstalled it

[@metrofuser]

Hello---yes we reinstalled the existing fuser

[@FalconzVideos]

Metrofuser Printer Parts I appreciate the follow up, thanks a lot!

[@90FirstGenPGT]

Will the new fused have all the metal shroud? Or will that need to be transferred to the new unit?

[@edblack6826]

There were 2 screws that were not put back unless you had extras available. One underneath and one in the door

[@majidabedini1781]

Hi, Hope all is well with you. I changed and replaced my printer hp laserjet 600 M603 fuser a couple months ago and it was working well until now and I got error 50.2f.00. I turned it off several times and also cleaned it up as your recommendation but still doesn't work. please advise me by return. Thank you

[@elisechaveze4459]

Thank you for the video! I was able to remove the fuser to get paper out that was very stuck. Now when I turn it back on the printer tells me that there is a motor connection problem. Did I not plug in one of the cables correctly?

[@MasterEffectsPedals]

Is this the same basic method for an m254dw? my printer is putting a crease right down the center of the page and i think it's the fuser that's causing it. is there any way to open the fuser assembly and clean the rollers? thanks.

[@soretoe9581]

Not really tbh. Youve probably got a dent in the hot roller and theres not much chance of fixing it

[@pascalillustration3650]

I have a question: Are there dangers when disassemble a laserprinter? Or electric charged components or so that you have to avoid ?

[@BatesLDG]

Just a FYI, the M477fdn removal is different. The sides don’t pop off as easy as in your video.

[@metrofuser]

Thank you for highlighting the differences

[@greenvalleyrange8148]

@jmuir84 Amen brother. This is definitely not as involved as the duplex printers. 2 screwdrivers is a good idea. I did it. I broke a few tabs off.

[@mightycrow7]

@@greenvalleyrange8148 How did you do it? It just seems like it's going to snap off.

[@greenvalleyrange8148]

@@mightycrow7 I had one very long thin flat head screwdriver that was used for prying and poking blindly around all sides... but I did break off 2 tabs. So I can't say my method works. I can say that there are a few locking points along the printer's bottom edge, so use a good light and a long screwdriver, work back to front, and you will gradually get the panels loose enough to work comfortably.

[@HarbyDrenden]

Yeah.... this video is more for just making you realize you have to get into the sides to remove wires I think. For the M477 I lost at least 3-4 tabs. You can't just leave the sides on and only prop them open. Especially when reconnecting the larger number of wires. Thanks for the video though, as it gave me at least some direction. Not quite sure why HP would have drastically changed the procedure of replacing a pretty frequently replaced part. Considering the part was about $250+ and any normal repair shop would have easily charged about $100-150 to replace this, it's almost better for the end users to purchase a new printer.

[@macsterguy]

He dropped a screw @ 2:22 in that is now loose in the printer. You can hear it rattling around when he closes the cover @ 4:441 ***Slow Down*** Great video though! Good tech!

[@cheesehead6710]

Is it same for fnw?

[@HaskieGaming]

Christ that's complicated. The fuser rollers in ours are about spent. I bought replacement rollers and film off amazon and I'm trying to build up the courage to open our printer up. Has OP tried to open the fuser kit itself to replace parts (rather than replace the whole thing)? Do I have a chance in the world?

[@metrofuser]

It is a big job. We build printer fusers in scale for printer service companies in the USA. Rebuilding is a little tricky especially when it come to the grease type and application placement. I recommend buying fusers instead of rebuilding ones. In the case of the M452 fuser they are a little hard to find. The lower pressure roller is another issue. There is no good quality manufactures of the roller as of the date this was written and it does not look like anyone is working on developing it. There are companies like ours around the world that rebuild these

[@cheesehead6710]

@@metrofuser How do you rebuild it if there is no lower pressure roller source?

[@theawolf2478]

I have the same problem. Did it work after you changed the fuser?

[@mailingconnections8444]

Thanks for your highly detailed video. We followed this to a tee and it wasn't too complicated, only time consuming. Unfortunately the printer now jams every time - it has yet to print a single page successfully since switching fusers. Do you know anything that would cause this? Do these need oiled or lubed up in some fashion? Unfortunately HP itself is almost no help whatsoever! Regardless of the problem, all they ever want you to do is buy more of their overpriced toner...

[@metrofuser]

Please ensure you have the right fuser for your machine. There are simplex and duplex versions of the fuser - which model printer do you have ?

[@mailingconnections8444]

@@metrofuser Okay, thanks for taking the time to respond. We appreciate this tip and will look into it!

Im pretty sure that youve not seated the solinoid on the fuser. If you strip it down again(i know it sucks) and look to the left hand side theres a white arm that needs to be seated correctly

[@johnhealy8513]

This is a very good video but how complicated is that removal and replacement. I have a 479 printer and the fuser unit failed after just three months. HP have been appalling over repairing it and it still is not fixed to date some two months later. Advice is BOYCOTT HP PRINTERS.

Good advice. HP engineers have always used the Rube Goldberg system of design to make repairs complicated & difficult.
