Unplug it and take off the front cover, there are 2 interlock switches behind the cover with an actuator arm. Most likely the arm has somehow flipped behind the switches or possibly broke.
But that is whats happening, those switches are not being turned on.

    So taking the cover off, it does not fix problem.

I don't have the manual and the red light is on. Is that the toner needing replacing and how do I do it?

Here are the things that a steady red light may indicate (from the Owner's Manual):

led-erroron17.jpg A paper jam has occurred. To solve the problem, see "Clearing Jams in the Paper Tray". The front cover is open. Close the front cover. The top cover is open. Close the top cover. The paper tray is empty. Load paper in the tray. See "Loading Paper". A toner cartridge is not installed. Install a toner cartridge. See "Installing the Starter Toner Cartridge".
• A paper jam has occurred. Check the paper tray area.
• The front cover is open. Close the front cover.
• The top cover is open. Close the top cover.
• The paper tray is empty. Load paper in the tray.
• A toner cartridge is not installed. Install a toner cartridge.

E 803 error in 3170

Hello,
this is Door close error.

Check if the door's nose that goes into the sensor hole broken, check the door closed/open switch, Check on connection of the front cover open/close switch (SW3) , Replace the front cover open/close
switch.

It's hard to locate it without service manual, but... if you manage to remove the plastic cover over the toner inlet then you will be able to see the hole where the nose of the door ( inner side of the door ) goes into.

For service manual, You can send me the mail on [email protected]

Hope that helps!

Close front cover

Unlikely the power supply. Sadly I can't think what causes that. I havent workrd on Toshiba for a couple of years now, but there is something else that causes that. Totally unrelated to the power supply or the switch. Have them call Toshiba support .
I am sorry I can't off hand remember the problem. But it is unlikely the power supply.

MACHINE DO NOT COPY AND GIVE THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE: (A ZIGZAG SYMBOL) WITH "FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION"

Sounds like the 'Clear misfeed' symbol. Open the front cover and follow the pictorial diagram instructions to check your paper feed path for jammed paper. Remove misfeed, and close covers. This should reset your machine.

ERROR LITE FLASHING

this error indicates 1 of the following.

the front cover is open
the back cover is open
paper jam

usually its the back cover, either its not fully closed or the swing gate inside is not in track with the sensor, it has to be pulled out realigned and put back in.)

also possible there is a little piece of paper jammed inside the front or back area.

thanks adi

Message on brother MFC7420 "back door open" when it's not

Actually, you need to double check the back cover and front cover, open them all to check all paper jam.
Besure to check the back cover, normally all paper jam is from the back.
be sure to close the front cover at the last cover to close.
