    Try running with the back open?

    Not just the little door, but the whole EU swung out.

    yep! that was the culprit. but. for funsies, when I was attempting a reset, the psp did not come back. and just as a bonus, the paper catalog was cd wouldnt work during software reload.

    that was fun. LOL

    not for certain, think it was just one of the little ones. i believe on the right side(standing behind) like over close to the developer filter.

    he said it was filthy! makes sense. in prep for him coming down, I opened everything, vacuumed. and blow out with hose. umm dont do that if there are other people nearby. little old lady had to leave the area so her asthma didn't attack. it was BAD, HUGE cloud. :) needed it though.

    just about had enough as of right now. :/

    I have about 500 sheets to crank out before everyone disappears, and "print engine cooling down" is back. all sensors red. blowing hot air into the cavity. took a minute to position it right, but looks like i might be able to print.

    I have a fan blowing into it.

    print engine cooling down.

    Have you had it checked for a low Freon level? Are all the relays on in the ecology module? Are the condenser coils iced over?

    hey Milo,

    it WAS low. AC guy replaced condenser last week. tech here thinks it MIGHT be low again. dont see any icing....

    Temp monitor shows ALL in the red 98f-100f+. save for 1. "X-CAvity GOW" says its 21F.

    tech: relay that kicks on compressor is not "kicking" :)

    also. my feeder configuration problem is back. OH JOY.

    Might have to reset the thermal fuse. In the cavity above the compressor in the EU, there is a thermal fuse with 2 wires coming out of it on the other side of the frame from the condenser. Move the foam away from the area between the 2 wires and there is a little red reset. Push it in and the relay should kick back on. You will have to unscrew the cover above the compressor that has about 8 screws in it to get to it.
