Just completed removal of the fuser unit, replacement of both of the rollers, quick clean and also replacement of the 4 guide rollers. Would not have attempted this without this wonderful video. All in took me 50 mins. Very happy with the job and pleased this was cheaper and I suspect greener fix of our Brother DCP-9020CDW. It now has a new lease of life.
Thank you again !!!
Over 2 years later and you're still helping people fix their printers! I just finished replacing the fuser roller (the black one, the red one looked fine) using this video as my "step-by-step" guide, and it went off without a hitch. Well, OK, with a couple, but those were my fault and not yours! (E.g., "I can get this out without removing that first!"... "Uh, OK, I got it out fine, but in order to put it BACK, I actually DO need to remove that!") Thanks SO much for taking the time to post this so old retired people like me can get their printers fixed at a reasonable cost! (Now we'll get to see if the roller I bought was of decent quality and will last, or if I'll need to do it again!)
Thanks for the video. Used it to successfully replace both rollers. Had an issue reinstalling the spring and snapped off the plastic tab. . Bent a nail and braced it the other side to attach the spring to. Tip attach to the plastic tab first and then attach to the metal bracket.
Thanks for the informative video. It’s worth mentioning (1) When re-attaching the springs, the black plastic tabs of the rubber roller assembly (the ones with the arrows pointing outwards) need to be set such that the rubber roller and the fuses roller are touching. It’s easy to have them set in the jam-clearing position which gives a gap between the 2 rollers. (2) Removing the springs with a hook tool from the metal tabs is better than trying to do so from the plastic tabs as you did. Safer to not break the plastic. (3) When bending the tabs of the fuses roller outwards after installing the plastic gear, better to just grab the tab with needle nose pliers instead of grabbing the outside of that plastic gear as he did so as to not break teeth of the gear if it’s old and brittle. Again, great video.
Excellent tutorial. I followed the steps and successfully replace the rollers. Many thanks
Thanks so much for your video - I was able to get a cheap pair of rollers instead of a very expensive fuser unit and it’s all up and running perfectly now, thanks to you! 😊
Thanks a lot Paolo, took me 2 hours but saved 300 bucks. I put the springs back the other way, so you have more place to pull them with a a small plate screwdriver head.
Great job :)
Thanks a lot for your clear explainaitions. I just changed both fuser rollers on my DCP9020CDW. I also changed the 4 small rollers you just cleaned in the last part you put back. It went very well and my 8 years old printer is now working like if it were new.
I have to do this soon, has taken me over a year to figure out why my prints were all crinkled and kept getting jammed! This is the guide I will be using to replace the rollers! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this
Thank you for your comment :)
I did it all, but now I have another problem, it is saying that the printer is over heating, any idea what I may have done wrong?
Worked perfectly for HL-3170CDW too. Took around 45mn for disassembling and another 45mn for reassembling.
Printer saved for less than 10€ and no unnecessary waste.
Thank you sooooo much !!!
Fabulous. Thank you. I always like to try fixing things before replacing them. I'm sure I would've broken lots of little important pieces if I hadn't watched your tutorial first. Thanks again!
Thank you for this video. I just finished replacing the fuser heat roller and pressure roller on our MFC-l8900CDW. There are a few differences for sure, but your instruction and video got me through it.
THANK YOU, my upper roller was damaged from sitting too long without use - the metal clips bit into it and broke the film and the orange surface inside it. You saved me a ton of money mate, thank you once more for sharing such a clear and detailed video.
Happy that this video helped you :)
Thanks really very helpful. Today I replaced both rollers that I damaged by printing adhesive labels. Now it works perfectly.
My mother got paper stuck between the rollers I am 15 and managed to fix this myself with the help if this video
Thx @Paolo. So helpful. Weirdly the Amzn page where I bought my replacement parts features a video without your voice but with your hands and workbench. Recommend people read the comments, like don't take the teflon tape off the 4 little cleaner/pinch rollers. Also to reset the fuser counter
Hi! Could you please send me the link to that Amazon page? No one asked me to use that video in other channels, and that needs to be removed by the other channel. Thanks for your cooperation.
Excellent tutorial. Took me 30min. to replace the fuser roll.
I'm in IT, printers are the one thing I try to avoid. But your video is easy to follow, I got about halfway and did everything in reverse to put it back. Definately saved my printer.
Thanks for this video. Instructions were perfect, and helped me save $$ instead of buying a new assembly.
This saved my life. I was sooooooo frustrated. Thank you for having clear and concise information and direction.
Thank you :)
Thank you. Best DIY for fuser assembly for MFC-9130CW PERIOD! I ended up just replacing the entire fuser assembly since reviews for just rollers that I could have bought had bad reviews.
Thank you for watching :)
A lot of thanks Paolo, Nothing is forgotten, description is so accurate. Change was successful for me, but without tuto, it should be a little more hard!
Great video, saved me buying a new fuser unit. Only thing that caught me out was the relocating of the orange roller's brackets - just make a note of how they locate before the removal step. Thanks
Thanks for this great video. Managed to do my fuser roller replacement without too much trouble and print quality is much improved. Really appreciate you posting this.
You, Sir, are both a gentleman and a scholar.
No, but for real thanks so much! The exact same process worked for the HL-31C so you might want to add that to the title. Cheers!
Hi,
very very helpful, thank you !!
I have repaired my brother MFC-9142CDN and it works very well. The 2 rolls cost 30 Euros, a complete new fuser unit more than 180 Euros.
So, it was a good deal for my wallet and for the environment anyway.
Warm greetings from Germany...👋
Hi, great job :) have a good printing!
My kit came with the four little white rollers, which is good because they were covered with the black gunk. Another successful fuser rebuild!
Great! :)
This was fantastic! saved me so much time from trying to fumble my way through it. thanks for doing this!
thank you soooo much! I was not thinking and tried to print on iron-on paper which melted and burnt onto the roller. I was able to follow the video and fix it. You saved me so much money and headache by not having to take my printer into the shop!!!!!!
Just replaced the fuser roller on my HL-3170CDW using this video. Thank you!!!
Great job Patrick!
Thanks for this very helpful video. I have just replaced the fuser roller on my mfc9330 and it is working perfectly.
Many thanks for the tutorial and the plan to buy the spare parts. Works wonderful.
I did it!! I replaced fuser rollers and small 4 rollers per your video instructions. Thank you so much for posting very detail tips and steps.
Great job!!!
Thanks so much for taking the time to make and share this. I can't express my amazement when the test page printed perfectly! Credit: You!
Excellent tutorial you save me 200$ for a new printer. it was expertly done . thank you very much
Thank you :)
1 millón de gracias, amigo!! He podido resucitar una Brother DCP-9015CDW que había comprado de segunda mano y no imprimía bien por este motivo.
Thank you very much!!!!
Great job :)
Finally got my rollers in the mail and did this and it worked!
To anyone trying this, MAKE SURE you have the right tools--you WILL need tweezers for the spring part, a small screwdriver and some needle nose pliers. Go slow and make sure to document every part and catalog each part as you go, many of them look similar. The guy in this video you can tell has a lot of experience with these so he knows how they go back together, but you will do yourself a favor to catalog everything as you go, and TAKE PICS of how everything looked BEFORE you took it apart.
Pace yourself and go slow--remember this saves you almost 200 dollars (or slightly less depending on the price of the full unit for your printer), so its totally worth the time and effort!
My printer is the HL-3180CDW, so if anyone else is doing this for that printer, I can verify that this works, the only thing different is the 2 wires that connect the printer on the left are both white instead of white and blue, everything else is the same.
Thank you for writing about your experience :)
What you said is totally right, and also for the spring part now I use a proper spring hook (USAG 053 N) that I didn't have before. I go pretty fast in videos because then the video would be too long, but everyone should take the needed time to perform the repair. I've 7 years of experience and since November 2019 I work as a Brother authorized repair technician, it gets faster after you build knowledge and experience, but we all started from there :)
Thanks mate. Your video is much appreciated. My printer died and bcoz of covid, brother printers are SOLD OUT and I had to rely on your video to fix mine. Very grateful for your instructions mate.
Hoping to save MFC-9340CDW from waste with this video. I looked inside and looks like the top fuser roller has the same damage as yours. Must be something about these Brother models haha. Thank you!
This is something that happens even in some other brands of printers, as for Brother printers I can tell you that now at work I repair mostly the newer versions (MFC-L9570CDW) and I encountered the same defect as in this video but usually it only happens if you reset the fuser counter without replacing it, so if you use the fuser unit for more than the amount of pages that is designed to do, the older models often fail prematurely.
Thank you so much for this video. It saved me throwing away an otherwise perfectly good printer. The video was incredibly useful especially for that little piece of metal that popped off when disassembling. You answered the question, where did that come from? 😀
Thank You Paolo . THis video help me to remove and replace the 2 rollers today. And the printer work !Grateful
I had the video running on my iPad and would stop and start it as I replaced both rollers and the small printed circuit board (I damaged it removing the red connector and couldn’t get the solder to hold when I tried to repair).
Worked out great and my MFC-9340 is working again. Thanks for the great tutorial. July 31, 2021
Lol I damaged mine as well. I couldn't solder it back. I pulled the tab right out of the circuit board. I did however figure a work around. All I did was got two wires, one for each of the connections on the red connector and followed where each was going to on the circuit board. Plugged each end to another clip where the circuit lead to on the board, basically jumping the board to a direct connection. Worked like a charm lol.

Mil gracias estimado amigo .Muy buen video ,muy claro y didactico .Gracias desde Chile
Thank you for this video. It helped me a lot to fix the fuser unit. Avoiding garbage and saves a lot of money. Good work
Merci beaucoup! J'ai pu faire la réparation moi-même et sauver beaucoup d'argent.
thanks a lot for this great video manual, so helpful and at the end a cheap replacement for this printer which never would be done without your video, THANKS
Muchísimas gracias amigo!!! Un vídeo claro, preciso y fácil, me has ahorrado mucho dinero 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you soooooo much for this video. Replacing the roller worked out ok although it took some time. I would probably not have done it without your detailed step-by-step instructions. (if I may, a very brief note: when you grab the little parts during reassembly, please hold them still for like a second in front of the camera to they can be more easily identified. But this is just a well-meant constructive hint and not a criticism of your great work).
Another few observations.
*) during reassembly, the spring was easier to grab from the other side. Before I did it the way you suggested, and I used a twist tie before finagling it down to make it easy to grab and pull. This was (for me) easier than getting in the tight space with pliers (even though I own professional jewely pliers).
*) I used an old paper envelope (any paper or not-too-thick cardboard will do) and stuck the various screws in there in the order that I pulled them out. During re-assembly it was easy to just grab them in opposite order. Easy peasy.
HTH.
Thank you. Helped me to clear crazy rolled jam.
Your video has been very helpful. Nice and easy. Saved me a lot of money as I have two of these printers and they have both the same problem.
Excellent video very helpful and solved an irritating problem with my printer.😄
You're a genius, man. Thanks a lot. You made me save a lot of money and plastic waste. It took me 2 hours to replace the rollers, now I have a printer like new! My black roller was exactly like yours, and I've never tried to print on adhesive paper, so I think that the problem is the printer. By the way a small metallic piece fell from the unit while changing the rollers and I couldn't find its place, so my printer has a piece missing now... Hope it's not very important to make it work 🤷😁
That is a very common issue with this printer series :) good job
same here. it goes on the bottom to the right of the white wires. saw it here at 2:30 it's in focus: ruclips.net/video/xkxEVNLi4M8/видео.html
Thanks a lot for this very detailed video! Thanks to it I managed to fix my printer
Hi thank you very much. I did something in a different way: I removed and reattached the springs from the other side (the side of the levers where the pressure roller is). For the record, my printer is a DCP-9015CDW.
Thank you so much for details on fuser roller replacement.
:) thx
Great video, really well explained. I replaced the upper fuser roller of my DCP9015-CDW with no issues at all. Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for doing this video. I know they are a lot of work! For the most part I had the needed tools at hand and it took me 1-1-1/4 hours, as I had to stop the video and complete the actions you outline, which I totally expected. If I may make a couple suggestions, please. At one point, when it came to rerouting cables, you fast-forwarded through the process. This was a point where I wanted more time to see what was going on, not less. At several points it would have been helpful if you could have paused at least a second or two at the end of key steps so I could have seen the result. As it was, a couple of times the completed step was partially offscreen or your hand was in the way so the result never showed up. The video was also a bit dark with shadows at times.
Again, thanks for these instructions - they are MUCH MORE helpful than just reading text. You took a somewhat intimidating process and made it a lot easier. Thanks!
Thank you for the feedback! I always try to improve in the new repair videos :)
Great job man, about to do this job on my MFC9335 and this video was very, very helpful.
Merci grâce à vous j'ai réparé mon imprimante pour $25 au lieu de $300.00. Thanks Tanks
Thank you so much ! 18 EUR for rollers and follow your video and it works. Less plastic in the trash. On the end, the white wires should go behind translucid plastic, I recommand for users to go on the beginning how they fits. However it's a great sharing.
Thank you for this video. I saved a few hundred bucks by not having to buy a new printer!
Thanks a lot Monsieur, you helped me a lot with this great demo!!! Bonjour depuis la France
Thank you, I was able to replace the fuser roller without any problems. Very much appreciated.
Very helpful video.. thank you for that. I followed the instructions and changed the roller and fuser myself. However after changing it now my paper comes out wavey or curly just the bottom half of the paper. Could you help with that?
Thank you very much!
Thanks a lot. Just completed a successful repair, but not as fast as you. Just wondering how many printers are trashed for this basic issue.
Great! Took me a good 3 hours with some hiccups along the way. Especially at the replacement of the black roller where I was reinserting the gear. It wouldnt go smoothly in like with the old one so I spent a lot of time using pliers to adjust it. Ended up making some grooves on the gear which made the rotation slightly bumpy. Actually I did not have to go through that and the initial seating was fine. But everything turned out smoothly in the end and I finally have smooth paper again!
Thank you thank you thank you! I changed this part in about 5 minutes thanks to your video.
Thanks for this video! I have this same printer at my office and we are having quite a few problems with it. It's been jamming constantly for a year. Recently someone put a brand new belt unit in it. The paper jams at the back door near the fuser. About an inch is sticking out. Is this a fuser issue? The red roller on mine is very slick.
What about drum units? I noticed the ones in there are crappy non-oem ones. Would those contribute to the problem?
Thank you for you amazing video ! I have just changed my rollers without any difficulty. Just 2 things : 1) i am not sure that the paper on the roller cleaners (at the end) are from a previous bad usage (this paper is really well glued/well cut to the rollers and the gluing is perfectly straight). 2) Brother told me that this fuser roller problem is due to compatible cartridges exclusively... I am not sure they tell the truth in order to encourage us to buy genuine Brother products...
I did it! Thanks for this detailed video. I'm so pleased to not have to create more landfill with a printer that wasn't working.
I'm so happy for it, one of the reasons I make all these videos about printer repair is to avoid e-waste :) job well done.
I did not pay attention to the fuser roller orientation and as the result it did not rotate the lower roller correctly. Upon inserting it back to the printer, it went to "too hot - cooling" mode straight away and it also smelled burning plastic. Lower roleller burnt, upper roller baked int the residue of the upper roller. Both went to bin :( Reordered again, hope won't make same mistake. Tip for putting springs back together: I used a paper clip that I attached to the spring and pulled by the paper clip to reattach it back onto the hook.
great video, but I was unlucky - I changed the fuser roller and it melted right away - smoke came out after the printer initialized. Is it the roller or something else?
Thanks. Fixed my printer thanks to you and your video. Cheers
Great job Tim :) what a great feeling is when you get something fixed right?
Thank you so much for this video.
Really apreciate. My printer works now like a new !
Excellent tutorial! My printer is alive again :) Many thanks.
Thanks man. Made it out today, perfect job!
MERCI BEAUCOUP - Thank you very much. Great teacher. I change rollers fusers for BROTHER MFC 9330.
Thanks. Very helpful. 2 amendments: 1. remove the springs from the other side (metal on metal), not from the bottom (metal on plastic) the plastic lug can get broken very easily although you can replace it with a metal pin. 2. That stuff about the little rollers trapping sticky paper is I think wrong: these little rollers have a paper coating so be careful about fiddling. Otherwise 10 out of 10
Fantastic guide, covered everything, thanks!
Hi Paolo
Thank you very much for the video. However we replaced the black roller only and after we finished the printer has displayed on the screen "Print unable 05". Do you have a solution for us please ? The printer is a MFC 9140CDN.
Great video, Thanks for making it! One suggestion, using a spring tool such as a Jonard M-130/SX5 (hook end) on the other end of the spring to release the tension makes it very easy to remove and replace springs.
Hi, great detailed video. All worked fine, printer prints as new :-) Thank you very much!
Great job bro... really helpful step by step guidance.... thanks
Thanks for sharing this video. I have a question if you could help me with please. My printer is (HL-L3230cdw), but it recently started making these noises and then i realized the the two grey rollers on the back side have stopped turning and they wont allow the paper to spin and roll forward. That's why when the back door is shut, paper gets stuck as it can't come out from the front side. Can you let me know how I could fix it please? Thanks
Thanks! Another success with HL-3170 back to life and saving from landfill! Suggestions (1) the internal rollers appears to have OEM white tape rolled on, I removed anyway as your video has done..others noted similar (2) Reattaching the springs, I did the alternate side final attach as appears much easier with a small device to pull (3) fast video on the wires reattach, just have to slow it down. Feel like a electronic heart surgeon now :)
Hi there, I just wanted to thank you for the great video. You may recall previously I had an issue with rectifying a fault when I replaced everything back together again (05 fault). It turns out that I was too rough when I removed the white and red leads from the board, so I ordered a new board from Ali Express for $15 and the printer is working fine now.....thank you again....Ken - London
Can you please share the exact name of the board ? I also need to buy it and replace it
@@babettelours3129 I purchased this from Aliexpress....the story name is ZN SUSAN Store....however I note that they no longer sell it anymore.......anyway the part you are looking for is a fuser sensor.
Paolo - Thank you so much for making this video. I have no doubt I can change out the rollers with your instructions. The only problem I'm having is which brand to purchase. Many reviews of parts are stating the toner is sticking to the new rollers. Is there a brand you recommend?
Hi David! The only one I tested is GoodPartner from AliExpress: www.aliexpress.com/item/32904772830.html
Consider also that if the temperature sensing thermistor is bent or it's not making good contact to the heat roller you can have toner sticking to the roller and/or not being fixed correctly on the paper.
@@PaoloMarcelli Thanks again Paolo! :-)
@@PaoloMarcelli Hi Paolo - I ordered the roller set you recommended from aliexpress. I had a problem with the factory gear fitting on the new lower roller. As you showed in the video, after bending the tabs, the gear slips right off the old roller and slides right on to the new roller. Wen I attempted this process, I had to force the gear onto the new roller which then caused binding issues with the gear still attached to the fuser unit. I even tried ordering a different lower roller from Amazon with the same problem. Have you experienced this problem? Any suggestions?
Dzięki 😃😘 Udała mi się wymiana!!
Hello and congratulations on your nice video. I own a 9140cdn printer which works fine until I print documents of about 20, 30 pages..... after that amount the print quality becomes so bad that the document is not readable.
I think it is a temperature problem that somehow affects the printing.... I have changed toner and drums without any improvement. Do you think the problem is with the fuser unit? So far I have printed about 27,000 pages, half the expected life of the fuser unit...
That could be the case, but I'd have to see a test print with the defect to be sure. Is the toner sticking to the paper? Can you rub it off with your finger nail?
awsome tutorial . Clear , precised and saving lot of lonney . Thanks !
Genius! Thank you! I had a really bad paper jam and this fixed it. However, when I restart, it says, "Jam Rear: Open the Cover and remove the jammed paper and press [Start]." I did not see any additional jammed paper, especially since I replaced the whole fuser unit. If I open the cover and close again, it say "Close the Fuser Cover which can be found behind the back cover of the machine." I opened and closed this and it does not help. I am getting an error 6004 -- Fuser Cover Open." So this is preventing me from finalizing the repair. I went into Maintenance Mode and tried to reset the PF Kit but I don't think it worked. Any ideas? Quite a challenge! In any event, your video helped me make the changes so far, so thank you for taking the time!
Hi! Aside of removing the fuser unit again and reinstalling it following the video very careful step by step I don't know what to suggest :/ I think it could be a problem of something not plugged in 100% or something installed incorrectly.
@@PaoloMarcelli Thanks Paolo I will try that! Thanks for responding!
Excellent video🙂. However i found it easier to asemble the spring from the other direction. First in the plastic and then in the metal.
Thanks a lot for this video. You've saved me more than 200€ !!
Worked perfectly for my paper that was fused to my MFC-L3750CDW's roller! Thank you so much!
Thanks ! Just the guide i was looking for , and you have an impeccable taste in keyboards !
haha thank you for the keyboard part :)
Just a note: The replacement fuser roll comes with REPLACEMENT paper feeder, ball rollers (4 of them) to replace the damaged/burned ones on the paper feeder attachment. They are WRAPPED in MASKING TAPE. The person who previously replaced the 4 ball rollers in the printer of the video above - did NOT REMOVE THE MASKING TAPE WRAP before putting them into the attachment. That is why you found masking tape residue burned on.
Hmm, I don't know about that. The 4 little rollers original to my printer has tape around them too, and they have never been replaced before. It's been working fine for 9 years until now, when the fuser roller started falling apart.
Hi Paolo, do you have a link to order the parts (the 2 rollers)? I have a brother DCP-9020 CDW
Grande Paolo veramente chiaro tutta la spiegazione, Grazie mille !
Thanks for the detailed video, it was helpful to know what to do next before actually doing it.
very good tutorial, easy to follow, saved me some money, thanks
Thank you for watching, I'm glad you found the video useful :)
