Grinding noise LD016

make sure cartridge is fully installed and sitting properly. Sounds like gears are not meshing so check gears with cartridge out (bottom of copier) and see if they are damaged. If so, copier is junk.It might not be out of toner just can't read it properly as it is not seated proper.

does it intake the paper at least??

in some kind of problems paper alone rolls in and out with out copying.

is that the problem.
please clarify

I am assuming you have emptied the old waste toner "box" and not replaced it with a new box. This is not a problem, just clarifying. If this is the case then you have toner packed into the sensor block which is telling the machine that the waste toner box is still full. Just look behind the waste toner box and look for a little set of wires. They lead to a small black sensor. Now look at the waste toner box where it mates up with the sensor. You will see a small square box area on the waste toner bottle. The sensor looks thru this block and if it is blocked with toner it will tell the machine the box is full. Just tap on the little block and make sure there is no toner in it and re-install the waste toner box and the indicator should go away.
Good Luck and Thank You for using Fixya.

emty waste toner and clean

Hello sir; I suggest reinstall drum unit again ,you will find out what's going on.

Probably worn gears for the rollers along the paper path or the gears that mesh with the imaging roller in the toner cartridge. Remove the toner cartridge and reseat it. Also look for any rounding of the gear teeth on any of the rollers while you have to cartridge out.

Take the new cart. out and reinstall the old cart. Does the noise disappear? I would tap and shake the toner cart. BUT BE CAREFULL, the cart is ready to spill toner. On the box and in the instructions it tells you, or should, that you must shake and tap the outside of the cart. This is due to settling and the toner maybe packed. By tapping and shaking it will feel the toner. If the toner is packed it will put undue pressure on the augers inside the toner cart. and cause a grinding noise. If after tapping and shaking, reinstall the new cart. and check. If everything is ok -- great. If the noise remains contact the company your purchased the cart. from and ask for a replacement. These cart. are mass produced and mostly reused ( refurbed). Parts wear now and they do not replace the inside parts, they just repack with toner and seal.

Loud clacking sound, jamming in fuser ? sounds like the gear that turns the fuser are bad and not meshing together,
accordion jam is the fingers or claws that ride on the fuser roller are probably worn out ( these can be replaced usually 3-5 ).

You can buy the parts and replace them yourself if a handy person, not that difficult.

check the drum for toner leaking, sounds like the drum blade.
the drum is a shiny cylinder inside the machine, open and and see if it has black rings

It is one of three problems,
1- the developper is starting to go bad, unfortunately with toshiba it is a common problem the seals go bad in the unit the gears are very hard to turn giving a loud grinding noise, although you can rebuild the unit by changing the seals, it's VERY messy and they don't always work ( after spending all that time cleaning and changing the seals and gears and it didn't work, I just started to change the DV unit.) Test by taking out and turning the gear by hand, if you need a plier to turn it, it's bad.
2-the toner itself is a problem, take out the toner and look at wherre it sits there is a gear that turns the toner to feed it in the machine, if it's dirty and has toner it will make noise, test by taking out toner and close machine, does it make the noise without it?
3- cleaning section where the drum is, this is what turns to feed excess toner into the small pastic container, aggravating but not a mechanical problem. And also check the fuser ( where it gets hot)

I think I've covered everything for that machine.

Good luck
