Samsung CLP310 320 360 CLX Drum unit Rebuilding Instructions

[@christinacase1]

Wow, it worked! It took awhile for the white lines to get worked out, but after 10 copies or so, they are gone. Thanks so much!!

[@PhilXavierSierraJones]

I found that my imaging unit had an overflowing toner that stacks up from the top. Following your guide, I cleared out the waste toner tank (there was a TON of powder). Let's see what happens.

[@frankmanigrasso8350]

Excellent video. I followed the instructions and did pretty much what you did on the video on my CLX-3185. Alas, it made no difference to the print quality at all. Still washed out colours. And now, a white line down the middle too. I must have left some dirt in the unit when reassembling it. Hey ho, if new unit doesn't solve it, I'm chucking the printer and buying a new one.At a loss of why it won't print colours out nicely. Black is more or less OK.

I just subscribed. Thanks for your videos! I have a question. Toner got behind the lens array when was emptying the toner out of the cartridge. Can I remove the array? Do I blow it out with compressed air. Wash it with isopropyl alcohol? Not sure what to do. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@DigitalMediaCanada]

oh. never mind. I just did it. A quick puff of compressed air and the toner blew out.

[@casperakoma7273]

Good video very informative.

[@sergeiposokhov1474]

Original factory units that come with the printer do not have the thermal fuse anyways. In order to reset the drum without the thermal fuse, just put a jumper across the terminals of the resistor (small piece of copper wire will do). Close the door and plug the printer in. It will say "Initialize..." followed by a flash of lights, after which it will most probably reset itself as it is unable to "blow" the fuse (the cycle will repeat itself indefinitely). At this point switch it off (unplug power) and take out the holder with the resistor again. Take the jumper off (break the wire) and put the holder back in. Close the door and let the printer startup. Tested on CLX-3300 series with CLT-R406 drum.

HI Viandant, thank you for the very informative and easy to follow video. I followed your instructions very closely to clean and reassemble my CLX-3185FW printer with no problem - other than heaps of waste to be emptied :( However, my printer is now printing totally black pages..? Can you tell me why this is?

[@viandant5]

Check the connection between the internal contact of the drum and the metal pin, check the supports of the charge roller and its connections, check if the drum turns freely

[@dermarius87]

My drum makes some noise after replacing the OPC... Do I need to lube the shaft before pushing it through the OPC? 🤔🤷‍♂️

[@viandant5]

It might depend fromn the metal shaft, you can use a bit of grease

[@faro2468]

Thanks for your video. I have a Samsung Clx-3185fn printer and I have a problem with color printing. I just changed all the toners but the print is only black and white. Do you have any idea where this problem could come from?

[@richardlumunon3086]

Good afternoon, I have for sometime a laser printer ; Samsung CLX-3175-FN and was very happy with the performance of it, but lately I think that my laser printer is due for an service checkup, sins the paper transport is giving a lot of noise and paper got jam so often. I have try to my knowledge to clean the dirt and black marking on the print copy with no result. Mean time I have now using windows 10 and the drivers for this type Samsung is no longer available, what do I have to do instead of buying another printer, can you give me some advice.??

hello, thanks for this excellent video! my clx-3305fn gives error about "drum unit", it says "change drum unit with new one". I have been using this drum unit since I purchased the printer 1 year ago. I think I have to reset its chip and I took out the chip on drum unit, it has one brown resistor as you mention about initial drum units. in the video, you removed green resistor and put a new one there. What should I do now? should I put a resistor behind the brown resistor like in the video? but what is the resistor's name or value to put behind the brown resistor? if you tell me its specification then I can find it in my country, in some electronic shop. THANKS A LOT!

[@viandant5]

do not remove the brown resistor, in your case solder the new component. put the component behind the brown resistor like in the video. I think it's not possible to find this component in some electonic shop, it's an integrated not a simple resistor

[@muratbuyukdinc4027]

viandant5 thanks for the quick reply. should I put the green component behind the brown resistor like in the video?

murat büyükdinç yes, you should put the green component behind the brown resistor. the russian forum is correct

[@muratbuyukdinc4027]

viandant5 thanks a lot! after 2 days of search on internet, I have learned that there are 2 types of littelfuse. Type1 (0.0625A 125V) is to use on 110V city electricity. Type2 (0.0625A 250V) is to use on 220V city electricity. For example, in my country, we use 220V electricity so I think I should buy a littelfuse 0.0625A 250V version. I will order it and try it, I will let you know about the result.

[@muratbuyukdinc4027]

viandant5 yes, it worked !!! I soldered the green littelfuse (0.0625A = 1/16 A, 250V version) behind the brown resistor on drum chip and I got rid of the "replace new imaging unit" error of my clx-3305fn printer! yayyy!!! :)))

I assume your drum has been used for quite awhile. By cleaning it, does it help to last for even longer or it will just die after awhile.

[@jonathan920]

+Jackson Boo Any ink reset guide?

[@viandant5]

+Jackson Boo cleaning the drum does not help to last longer. it only improve print quality

[@jonathan920]

+viandant5 As the drum get older, the quality drop. By improving the quality = lasting longer? Or it just doesnt work that way?

[@viandant5]

+Jackson Boo It cno, it does not work in that way. the quality of a drum depends on the shape of its outer layer and light fatigue. cleaning a drum does not restore the outer layer

I tried to shake it until no more dust is getting out but it lasted for long. Should I dismanteld it and clean it as shown ? Thanks.

[@robertdickinson5581]

CLX DRUM SHAFT INSERTION: Samsung seem to use the same drum design for many of their printers esp CLX series but bearing different Model numbers. The most important point in dismantling and removing the drum shaft is a result of the internal electrical contacts that while rubbing on the shaft, allow a clean shaft to pass easily through them in only one direction. This is from the end bearing the gear (and internal contacts) towards the opposite end. Unfortunately this is not mentioned in this "Remanufacture" procedure but can be seen by carefully comparing both the disassembly and assembly segments of the video.

[@lloyddobbler3585]

Thank you very much for this video. I was able to fix "image ghosting" on a Samsung CLP-315W by following your instructions to clean the charge roller with water. Imaging Unit was only at 1100pgs, 84% life remaining, but living in dry climate(Denver, CO) made the charge roller(and foam roller) ineffective at removing excess image toner. Imaging unit drum was diagnosed as culprit by measuring 7.5 vertical inches between original image and ghosted image. Again, 10,000 thanks.

Wow, a LOT waste toner in all those components! I found it best to do this job outside on a nice day. Used an electric leaf blower on low to blow everything out. Not sure why cleaning the image drum assembly helped, but it did! I am thinking it is the cleaning of the charge roller and the light rod that actually makes the difference. All of the other cleaning is just to get rid of the excess waste toner, which must be disposed of before the containers become full.

[@grahamb7947]

worth noting, for anyone who doesn't know, when replacing or refilling/resetting/cleaning the drum and/or toners, you should grab a ziploc bag and also empty the collection cassette into it, making sure to wear a face mask and gloves for protection against the toner dust. make sure to completely close the ziploc bag afterwards and dispose of appropriately. Most of all, don't be put off by the fact the toner in the bag will resemble mold lol.

Modern toner is soy ink. It's not nearly as bad as you're making it out to be.

[@grahamb7947]

@@EvanCarrollTheGreat Patently false. Most modern toners are composed of 85-95% plastic. The other 5-15% is comprised of ground silica, iron, chromium and zinc.

Regardless, you don't even want to have inkjet liquids touching your skin because they also contain petroleum. Petroleum is a skin irritant.

@@Dickwooten Looks like he added a thermal fuse in parallel which has little to no resistance may as well soldered a piece of fuse wire across it

[@AnnaVannieuwenhuyse]

​@@Dickwooten When the printer sees a drum unit with very little resistance, it assumes a new one has been installed. It then blows the fuse by passing a lot of current through it. when this fuse blows, the 100k resistor is the only current path left. The printer now knows it has successfully "started the lifecycle" of that toner. It has no way of recognizing the toner (or a new one) besides a low resistance path that became high resistance after trying to initialise it.

But I for the OPC drum, I well listen your precious comments and found after the 1st rebuild a better printing, but still some few ghost pic on bottom. I pushed a bit all the wiper blade for enable it better fit the OPC Drum. And it worked... !! I know that It won't be lasting, but I know now for sure that's it's the OPC Drum, the wiper blade exactly. [EDIT] : I forgot also to mention excellent tuto «Toner Cartridge Printing Defects: Causes and Solutions». Many thanks !

[@viandant5]

a ghosted print may be related to the drum or to the fuser unit. the distance of 188 mm is related to the drum but I don't think it's a wiper blade problem. Probably you have to change the OPC drum

[@fabricefabs]

Hehe... Just have a look when I gently pushed the wiper blade in the drum direction in a way of having a better contact on the drum you can see spectacular result on the right : imgur.com/ssh7i6P or i.imgur.com/ssh7i6P.jpg Deprives me of a doubt : I also changed the black toner cartridge. I don't remember when in all those repair process (quantity

[@viandant5]

the space of 188 mm is related to the drum the developer roller is 26 mm but the ghost images are related to toner cartridge too. the developer roller is the roller covered with toner you can see on the toner cartridge

[@viandant5]

yes, it's the same

[@theofanisntokos]

you forget to tell put litle pownder in the drum surface

you can lubricate the drum with a bit of toner powder 3:54

Followed these instructions because my Samsung CLP365's drum needed to be reset. All seemed to go well. Put the printer back together and the status light went green, but whenever I try to print, the green status light just flashes slowly. Printer never starts. Just sits there for hours flashing the light. Any ideas what went wrong?

[@viandant5]

+wlcgblog you can view the status of the printer in Easy Printer Manager. If not already download, you can find it in the Samsung Download Center.

[@wlcgblog]

viandant5 OK, I installed it. It just says "Status: Warning" and then below it always says "Warming up. Please wait." Doesn't tell me anything else in detail. Wish it did. When I try to print anything, the little status popup appears and says "Preparing Print Job", and the status light on the printer starts blinking, and that's where it stays. Even the popup stays on the screen.

[@viandant5]

+wlcgblog probably the fuse you use to reset the drum is wrong. remove that fuse and try insert the drum unit without that fuse

[@wlcgblog]

viandant5 Still nothing. Just sits there, "warming up" forever. Thinking it's time to have a funeral.

[@viandant5]

+wlcgblog I think it's related to the drum chip. this defect may happen when the fuse does not blow

[@jeeraw]

I have clp 325 original toner no chip sometime it NOT found magenta cartridge sometime it found :: status "magenta cartridge not install please install " how to fix it

[@viandant5]

JeeRa Wit it's a starter cartridge. starter cartidges have no chip. do not remove the cartridge drom the printer or you may have problems. to fix it you can only install a chip into the cartridge

[@jeeraw]

All toner cartridge no chip but not found magenta only

[@jeeraw]

But sometime it found i can print normal

[@viandant5]

JeeRa Wit all your cartridges are starter cartridges. probably magenta cartridge is near the end of its life, starter cartridges have not many toner

[@jeeraw]

Thank you so much . Can i use clp-325 cartridge replace in clp-365?

[@spiridon1526]

In CLX-3305W not work ! ...replace or install waste toner container. What now ?

[@viandant5]

the waste container is the first step. then remove the toner cartridges, and the drum

Hi, I have a problem by installing the drum gear. The drum gear doesn´t turn clockwise. But I dont kno why, other direction is ok.

you have to lubricate the drum with toner. follow the video

Good job!

[@frazelle09]

i follow the video and am now at the step where the axel is to be reinserted through the drum. i can't seem to get it past something inside. It still sticks out about 3.5 cm. and is hitting up against something. Is there any "secret" to getting it through the last 3 - 4 cm. of the drum? Have a great day! :) Edit> Oops - my bad. The video clearly states "from the drum gear side". i was trying to insert it from the other side. / Phew! That was close. It went in very easily from the drum gear side.

[@patrickx7876]

hi there - i have a samsung clp -315; recently I noticed it prints pages with horizontal lines and smudges in black and sometimes yellow the whole width of the page. When I print a 2nd page, it ghosts the previous page on the new page as well. I have followed your videos on how to clean the transfer belt and image drum, and installed new toner cartridges, but the problem persists. Any chance you could advise on what I can do to fix this issue? Here is a link to show my issue: imgur.com/gallery/WfH19jO

[@viandant5]

The cleaning of the drum unit and the transfer belt is useess if the drum unit is defective.. It seems to me a problem to the drum unit

[@patrickx7876]

@@viandant5 thanks. I will look to find a replacement drum. Should I replace the transfer belt at the same time? Any tips on how to prevent damaging the drum unit ?

[@viandant5]

@@patrickx7876 It's not necessary to replace the belt, However without checking the printer I can't be sure it's a drum problem. To prevent the consumption of the drum do not turn on and off the printer frequently, the printer must be in a dry environment

[@IngenieriaGrupoD-]

Sorry. What is the value of the second resistance?

[@rehpej]

Hi, i have followed your guide but i guess i have did something wrong. I tried printing a test page, but it only prints on the left most side for about 0.5cm thick. All the colors are there so the result is a heavy colored one. Any way to fix?

[@viandant5]

+Jepher Chang I think a component of the drum unit is out of position, may be the rod lens array. I suggest you to dismantle and reassemble again the drum unit.

[@rehpej]

tried dismantling and reassembling it. now the dirt i want to remove is back. but still no text/image

[@viandant5]

+Jepher Chang are you sure the defect is related to the drum?

[@rehpej]

+viandant5 not sure. but that's the only thing I have touched. I still have inks about 50+%

[@viandant5]

+Jepher Chang I think the rod les array is broken, dirty or out od position or the drum is not reassemble correctly and the developer roller is not in contact with the drum surface.

[@andreoemus5351]

I followed the instructions. After reassembling the 3185fw prints only blank pages. The drum runs freely without any problem. Any clue what the issue can be? thanks

[@viandant5]

look at the contacts on the side of the drum unit, disassemble and reassemble the drum unit again

[@andreoemus5351]

Did not help. I noticed there is a green gear at the front right of this unit. It rotates only in one direction...?

[@viandant5]

near the charge roller? blank pages may be related to the charge roller

[@viandant5]

Cori Fung, you have a starter drum started drums do not have the fuse. you have to insert the new reset fuse near the colored fuse

[@spiridon1526]

I found the problem ... the box with colored symbols has two windows - they have to be cleaned inside ... and ready. I lost a few days, but it works!

Well, it is printing very well now. However it seems to be making scraping sounds inside. i didn't see any suggestions to oil the drum axel - which is what it sounds like... Should i try this? Otherwise it seems to be printing just fine. Have a super day and thanks for such a wonderful video! :)
