Keeps saying: DRAWER OPEN Tray 1

This has been sitting for awhile (a few years actually). First while we were moving out to hook it up and use it again, someone opened the side cover and knocked the spring off casuing the rollers to nearly fall out. Once I get everything re-aligned and back together, I tried plugging it in and turning it on. I get the messages that the toners were all low. I know they were more then half full the last time I had used this printer, so I took them out back and tried shaking them. After putting them back in, still getting the same warning, but now it is telling me the paper tray is open. This is a 5430DL and there is only one tray on it. Is there a sensor I need to clean? and once I get that problem taken care of, what about the toner? Does it harden and become unusable after sitting for such a long time? Tips and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

AS for toner use OEM not third party.replace them. as for the paper draw check the sensor and tab that accurate the sensor telling the machine the draw is closed. might be broken or the sensor got hit when you re-installed the roller.

SOURCE: Not noticing paper

I took an envelope, folded in the end to triple its thickness and placed it in the middle of the paper tray underneath the very last page. This pushed the center of the paper up more and it had no problem detecting or getting hold of the paper. Have to be sure the paper supply tray is full though. When it gets to the last five or seven pages it has difficulty again. It's a nontechnical fix, but it seems to work.

SOURCE: Error light flashes ... Message: Open the printer

Hi Connie,

If you take out all the toners you will find a contact at the bottom where the chip from the cartridges touch , these three springs work loose.

If you notice them loose, you need to take the black clip out split it and solder them back on; that will sort the problem out.

I want to put 8 1/2 by 11 paper in top drawer (#1) and use 8 1/2 by 14 in lower drawer (#2) I do put the papers in correctly, but it does not recognize drawer #2 as anything but 8 1/2 x 11. How do I...

First you have to put a little wheel (in front of the tray) in the correct size and format of the paper.

CD-R drawer won't open. CD is in drawer.

there are different reasons for stuck up disk tray

1. load belt is worn out already
2. driving gear for mechanical loading disc tray has broken teeth.
3. cd got stuck up between the loading disc tray and the plate holder.

You will need unplug your device first and then unscrew the cover of your unit and find it yourself to know what causes it not to open.

once the cover is out, the mechanical loading disc tray will be exposed.
1. remove the stuck cd
2. plug the unit and turn on, to get access the belt, wait for the disc tray to move to the pull out position, then unplug your device.
3. plug the unit and turn on, if the disc tray do not move, use your finger to move the tray and see which gear is broken.

belts are available from this site. just have to measure the correct diameter of the belt in your unit

Our xbox 360 elite keeps telling us to open tray drawer after inserting a disk. We tried 3 diff disks get same thing. Worked fine last pm

This is one of two problems, both involving your laser.

1: the laser is dirty, get a laser lens cleaner and run it through your xbox a few times and see if that helps. You can also get a can of compressed air and carefully spray it into the open tray slot.

2: Your laser has died, at which point your only option is to call Microsoft and ask them for a repair order. Sorry :(

Repeats "empty coffee grinds drawer". drawer is empty.

Check the area behind the draw there might be some ground coffee preventing the tray from sitting correctly.

Front loader LG washer drawer for detergent is stuck won't open

Remove the top of the washer by removing the 2 retaining screws (phillips head) from the back of the unit & sliding the washer top back about 2" & pulling up. You will see a white detergent dispenser box with several hoses coming off the back in the left front of the unit (this box contains the detergent drawer). The lid to this box is held on by 8 pressure snap clips. You only need to release the 4 snap clips (3 large, 1 small at the rear) on the right side of the box (nearest the washer drum). Pull up on the right side of the lid while pulling out on the detergent drawer. It should come out normally. Do not reassemble until you read below, then reverse the steps to put the washer back together.

The problem will be the "softener" lid (blue). It will not be sitting down in the drawer assembly & will catch on the lid of the white detergent dispenser box. Simply remove the blue lid to avoid future jambs. It only serves to identify the fabric softener recepticle & it keeps fabric softener from splashing around when water enters the system. You may need to remove the entire detergent drawer periodically to clean (push down on the blue thumb indent inside the drawer to release it from the housing).

Hope this keeps you from drilling through the lid & ruining a $23 part, like I did.

Dvd player

First, make sure the DVD Recorder is completely disconnected from the Main Supply.

Then, if you look on the base of the unit, (just underneath the front of the Disc Insert/Eject Tray), there is a small slot, (approx 25 x 8mm), in which you can see a small, white, plastic lever probably situated near the right-hand side of the slot.

Then move this lever gently to the left, and then turn it on and the tray opens by pushing the button.
