You are amazing, you motivated me to remove that top part of the pump to clean it because my drain hose seems cloged despite all the exercises with the syringe (alcohol, warm water etc) I have an issue, after I removed the top part (kept the spring with a thread ;) ) I was trying to aspirate and push air from the tiny hoses the one on the right came off from the connection which I did not notice where was exactly. That means most likely that either the connection is blocked at the pump level or there is a diaphragm tha prevents fluid movement in either direction which I doubt. that's why there is a hose. My question is do you know where the end of the hose in the right goes?
Sorry I didn’t get a notification for this comment! Hopefully you have resolved it by now. I haven’t had a reason to fully open up my printer on that side since I haven’t replaced my capping station since I bought the printer. The 2 tubes both attach to the capping station and meet into 1 tube which is the waste ink tube in the back. You can google L1800 capping station and you’ll see the image of the 2 tubes.
@@TimHocutt thank you! Yes, I removed it so the ink can flow better. It’s a hard sponge so sometimes it’s can be difficult to remove. I used a xacto knife and some tweezers.
@@90chikiya Hi! There are these little edges (two on the top and one on bottom middle) that are holding it under. So after removing the little spring, you can gently push the capping station down and push lightly left/right until those lift from under. Be careful not to break the edges.
@@kelliejones1168 the big spring just lays on there. But the spring has a certain shape on top so just make sure it’s aligned with the bottom of the capping station. If not, just keep turning it until it lays flat.
That thread method on the spring saved me!!!! almost dropped my spring but i followed that thread trick and I didn't lose it ! haha
This video was so helpful!!! Thanks so much 😊

Great video. I just have one question. My printer has a sponge in the capping station, did you remove that and replace it?

Hello mine seems to be stuck . I was able to remove the spring but it seems stuck . Am I missing something

Hi, do you know how to change the pump?
@@benjisilverback4926 sorry, I haven’t changed my pump yet. You can join some DTF facebook support groups and they show how to change the pump.
I don’t know how to put the spring on
The big spring
