Samsung clx-3160fn Deve Home Error Color Laser Printer FIX

[westsurf69]

I used a cable tie to carefully tension the spring. I also found that if I popped the grey corner section off (from the top upward and forward) helped get off the panel.

Samsung Aus quoted up to $500 for repairs. :) Sorry Samsung but no I won't be ripped off like that.

30 minutes and working - Thank you for the info.

all users, be cautios not to over strach the spring....if you do....you may have a hard time reseting the mechanics of the dev sensor....the spring it a factory default....

[deldrg]

thank you my friend.....it worked well....suggestion, before assembling assure to blow any dust away...also be catious to miss align the gears from the dev switch...if u accidetaly do.....spin the black shaft (horizontal black piece that is linked to the white gear)...if it begins to grind....turn it again....it will realign by it self.....

Worked for me as well. The spring is attached to a metal arm on the left side. I stretched it outward wirth a pair of pliers.

how exactly did you strech the spring? I have the same error on a 2160n, which is quite similar now that i see the 3160n

@joseardzm Expect you found out but for others just pul the end and loop in about 10 coils of the spring down and with a fine pair of long nosed pliers create a new loop to hook on the moving plate. Be careful as the spring is quite delicate
