Brother 8065 - loud grinding sound resulting in horizonal lines on the copies

All Kenmores are the bottom of the line appliances. If under warranty, call Sears. Your machine has problems. May be on it's last legs. None of these sounds are 'normal'. Motors wearing out, likely.

can you copy? If you can't copy then the light has probably failed on the fax reader, or you may be putting the fax in the wrong way round!
If copying works, then check that it is picking up a line and sending, if you lift a phone whilst the fax is being sent you should hear a sort of musical digital tone sound (for perhaps half a minute).

this sounds like it is to do with yur scanner section if you get the same result when you try to copy a document then it could be the read head is dmaged.. if you do a copy and there are lines on the copies check the section where you put you rdoc to be copied. lift the cover and you should see a glass slip going across the pathof the paper check to see if typex or ink has stuck to this area .. you can clean it off with a soft cloth and some glass cleaner.. Good Luck A

The Brother 2800 is pretty good machine within its limitations.I would suggest if possible to copy the drivers license on a regular copier and both lighten it up and enlarge it.I had good results using this procedure when I had to fax Licenses.Good Luck

hello it sounds like you need to have the scannetr replaced

Time for a PM on this machine. That's what the maint indicator means. Check the copy count and tell this number to your technician when you talk to him so he can bring with him the required parts and supplies.

just copy a paper if copy is black ur scanner is dirty or dead .first clean scanner with tissue other wise change it.if copy is ok result not black that is due to telephone line.by mian jee

sounds like something is broken. best to get it checked out. take to the sewing machine doctor.

There are few gears inside the copier that probably need to be replaced causing the grind and the copy quality to happen. It wasn't looked at by the engineer at the time because it happened after they left. They should come back in to fix it.

1- check the small stip of glass and see if it has toner,
check the maintenance section of the manual (it's free, just register)
