No solution, but I have the same problem. THe printer starts up fine, I hear no grinding noises or other "funny" nioses, and then displays no error message... UNTIL I ask it to print. Then I get a message that says, "Pls (please) Open Cover".

I open the cover and it says "Please Close Cover".

I close the cover and it says, "Please Open Cover"

and this happens forever!

Does anyone have any ideas? Can anyone help me?

Hobart Dishwasher CL44E showing display PROBE ERROR-WSH PW DR.

To me the Error is telling you Probe Error - Wash - Power - Drain

CL & CLe Series Dishwasher Display Codes Below are common codes that display on Hobart CL and Cle Series Dishwashers:
  • Door(s) Open - This displays if one or both doors are open. Close all inspection doors.
  • Clear Conveyor Jam - The code appears if there is a jam. Remove the rack from the machine. Then, press START and rerun the rack.
  • Probe Err - TANK - Check if the lower float assembly in the displayed tank isn't visibly damaged and that the proper amount of water is covering the lower float in the tank.
  • Probe Error - FnlRns - Make sure the supply water valve to the rinse booster is open.

I replaced the toner and drum and I still have the error mesage

You may not have reset the drum counter. If multi-function machine open front hatch , press clear or options button. Display should read "change drum?" then press number 1 on keypanel. Display should read "accepted" then close hatch. If the machine is printer only locate the "go" button on the front left on top of the printer. Open the front hatch and locate the stud under where the "go" button was. Press and hold the stud until all the lights are illuminated. Relase the stud and close the hatch.

My printer says drum troubleshooting contact guide manual and maintence I did eveything but still not working

Hi there,
If the display shows drum error you can try cleaning it by following the steps below:
1. Open the front cover. 2. Pull the drum (black) and toner (gray) towards you, put a little force on it. 3. Remove the toner by holding down the tab on the side of the drum, then pull the toner out. 4. Use a dry lint-free cloth to clean the roller inside the drum unit. Make sure to remove any excess toner from it. 5. Put the toner back to the drum, make sure that it clicks, Reinstall the drum and toner back to the machine, 6. Close the cover.

If the display still shows drum error, go ahead and do the drum reset.

1. Open the front cover 2. Press the Options button on the control panel 3. The display should show "Replace Drum - 1. Yes 2. No 4. Press 1 to reset the drum count 5. Close front cover. The display should show the date & time
If still it shows drum error, The drum unit needs to be replace. After replacing the drum unit, do the drum reset again,
Hope this helps.

I changed the ink in my Lexmark 3400 printer and I keep getting an error message "cover open" and it's not open. I tried everything....unloading the software then reloading the software, shutting it off...

The printer displays a 'Cover open, please close cover' error message, even though the cover is closed.

This can happen if the lever on the cover open sensor is knocked off the switch assembly.
