Continuous 59.CO error

[AaronAlgrim]

I have been receiving the 59.CO error with a coworkers computer and have tried unplugging from the wall and direcetly to an outlet with no succuss. Also I have tried removing catriges and re-inserting.

Is there any other solutions at this point other than sending it in for repair or replacement?

The error is a developer motor error. Unfortunately there  is not part number for the motor nor instructions in the service manual on how to replace.

I know it's late hope it'll help for the others.

It's caused by so called sticky solenoid which seat behind formatter, ADF......

Not so easy to get to it. You need to take out ADF,left,right,upper case.... first.

It controls black color and the other three colors (at the same time)to work with each other.

But because of sticky problem you got 59.C0 error.

What you need to do is to resolve the sticky solenoid issue.

Not an easy job to do but it's not so difficult either.

No need to really take apart everything before you to get to it .

What you really need to do is making a piece of V shape of paper its dimention maybe is 0.3 * 1.2 cm.

And find some ways to insert it into and between the solenoid's two metals to prevent the sticky issues happens again.

It will always has a small hole between gears and plastics. Find it out and insert the V shape paper into it.

After done that you will be fine.

Find it out where the solenoid is and there's no need to get it out from the machine you just need to find a way (or a hole, a gap) to try to insert a V-shape paper into between that two metals to keep them from stick together again. It always works.

You need a thin paper don't make it too thick!

Check here on youtube, not same models but same problems.
