When I put something in place to hold the activator switch, the machine tries to recover from the error message, it makes noise, says "initiating" and then the same error.  

 

Is there another switch or another sensor that can be cleaned or toggled? When you close the door, the error message goes away until I try to print. Occasionally a page will go through, but mostly not.

 

This message started happening all of a sudden. I highly doubt there's been 2000 sheets printed.  I'm only on my second black toner cartridge.

There's not anything to do with the "Rear Door Open Error" behind the red circle in the picture.

 

There's a sensor in the picture.

There's another one.

You can use fingers to touch it which seats at the opposite position in the picture and just seats at bottom side of fuser(hot).

Check all these places and hope it will help.

 

As to these two pictures posted by KhaledDs (Posted on ‎06-16-2019 06:51 AM)  , yes if it is broken you won't be able to close the rear door firmly. Check it too.

thank you for pictures and reply. I have cleaned and toggled all of those areas to no avail. All parts seem to move easy, the q-tips I wiped the sensors with all came out clean.  the door sits firm and flush when it's shut. no broken pieces or nubs.

 

I'm guessing it's internal/electronic 😞

Thanks for the tips
