Many thanks for this video! My Samsung C480 had very dirty prints. On inspection the drum was also very dirty. First cleaned the transport belt, but that did not help. It turned out that the toner waste reservoir in the drum unit was completely filled to the rim. So it couldn't clean the drum anymore. I removed the roller and shook out all toner waste. Cleaned the drum unit and voila: happy clean prints!
Thank you very much for this video. I was able to fix "image ghosting" on a Samsung CLP-315W by following your instructions to clean the charge roller with water. Imaging Unit was only at 1100pgs, 84% life remaining, but living in dry climate(Denver, CO) made the charge roller(and foam roller) ineffective at removing excess image toner. Imaging unit drum was diagnosed as culprit by measuring 7.5 vertical inches between original image and ghosted image. Again, 10,000 thanks.
Original factory units that come with the printer do not have the thermal fuse anyways. In order to reset the drum without the thermal fuse, just put a jumper across the terminals of the resistor (small piece of copper wire will do). Close the door and plug the printer in. It will say "Initialize..." followed by a flash of lights, after which it will most probably reset itself as it is unable to "blow" the fuse (the cycle will repeat itself indefinitely). At this point switch it off (unplug power) and take out the holder with the resistor again. Take the jumper off (break the wire) and put the holder back in. Close the door and let the printer startup. Tested on CLX-3300 series with CLT-R406 drum.
Hi viandent sorry couldnt find my original post but u asked me to respond if I had any luck, well i did! I was getting repeated black lines a long my pages dispite changing fuser unit and cleaning drum unit. Well I completely swapped te drum unit out, no more black lines! Clp365w. Yay! So I'm assuming drum unit must have been "damaged" in some way as image counter was only at 1982 not sure but working perfectly now. Thanks for yr help and keep the informative vids coming :)
Thank you for the video. I have a Samsung C460W that began to have faded printing. Cleaned out the waste toner tank, the transfer belt, and finally the image drum per your videos. Wow, a LOT waste toner in all those components! I found it best to do this job outside on a nice day. Used an electric leaf blower on low to blow everything out. Not sure why cleaning the image drum assembly helped, but it did! I am thinking it is the cleaning of the charge roller and the light rod that actually makes the difference. All of the other cleaning is just to get rid of the excess waste toner, which must be disposed of before the containers become full.
Hey, You are genius ! «How to remove and clean Samsung Transfer Belt CLP-365» + «How to Clean an OPC Drum for Laser printer/Copier» + «CLP310 320 360 CLX Drum unit Rebuilding Instructions» helped me to diagnostic my CLX-3175N ghosted pic (from top printing) on on the bottom of each page, and was spaced to 188mm. I read forums, but was not sure if it was the transfert belt or the OPC Drum. Those both parts are quite expensive : ~ 120€ for both, not sure it worth it ! I did the cleaning like you said on both items, on the tranfert belt, it didn't change. But I for the OPC drum, I well listen your precious comments and found after the 1st rebuild a better printing, but still some few ghost pic on bottom. I pushed a bit all the wiper blade for enable it better fit the OPC Drum. And it worked... !! I know that It won't be lasting, but I know now for sure that's it's the OPC Drum, the wiper blade exactly. [EDIT] : I forgot also to mention excellent tuto «Toner Cartridge Printing Defects: Causes and Solutions». Many thanks !
a ghosted print may be related to the drum or to the fuser unit. the distance of 188 mm is related to the drum but I don't think it's a wiper blade problem. Probably you have to change the OPC drum
Hehe... Just have a look when I gently pushed the wiper blade in the drum direction in a way of having a better contact on the drum you can see spectacular result on the right : imgur.com/ssh7i6P or i.imgur.com/ssh7i6P.jpg Deprives me of a doubt : I also changed the black toner cartridge. I don't remember when in all those repair process (quantity
the space of 188 mm is related to the drum the developer roller is 26 mm but the ghost images are related to toner cartridge too. the developer roller is the roller covered with toner you can see on the toner cartridge
worth noting, for anyone who doesn't know, when replacing or refilling/resetting/cleaning the drum and/or toners, you should grab a ziploc bag and also empty the collection cassette into it, making sure to wear a face mask and gloves for protection against the toner dust. make sure to completely close the ziploc bag afterwards and dispose of appropriately. Most of all, don't be put off by the fact the toner in the bag will resemble mold lol.
@@EvanCarrollTheGreat Patently false. Most modern toners are composed of 85-95% plastic. The other 5-15% is comprised of ground silica, iron, chromium and zinc. What you're thinking about, is inkjet cartridges. Not even close to being the same thing. Regardless, you don't even want to have inkjet liquids touching your skin because they also contain petroleum. Petroleum is a skin irritant.
I was going to trash my CLP315 because it wouldn't be economical to fix it. This was very helpful and the thing is printing perfectly now. Thank You. The one thing I can't figure out is how in the world the reset fuse replacement can be figured out by the printer that it just hasn't been lifted and resoldered. That is a new one for me.
+viandant5 No problem. I was just remarking that the videos that I have seen are strange because having to replace one thermal fuse or resistor with another and the printer somehow knows that it is another one of the same value is a strange concept for a guy who was a radio technician for a lot of years. Thanks again.
@@Dickwooten When the printer sees a drum unit with very little resistance, it assumes a new one has been installed. It then blows the fuse by passing a lot of current through it. when this fuse blows, the 100k resistor is the only current path left. The printer now knows it has successfully "started the lifecycle" of that toner. It has no way of recognizing the toner (or a new one) besides a low resistance path that became high resistance after trying to initialise it.
CLX DRUM SHAFT INSERTION: Samsung seem to use the same drum design for many of their printers esp CLX series but bearing different Model numbers. The most important point in dismantling and removing the drum shaft is a result of the internal electrical contacts that while rubbing on the shaft, allow a clean shaft to pass easily through them in only one direction. This is from the end bearing the gear (and internal contacts) towards the opposite end. Unfortunately this is not mentioned in this "Remanufacture" procedure but can be seen by carefully comparing both the disassembly and assembly segments of the video.
I found that my imaging unit had an overflowing toner that stacks up from the top. Following your guide, I cleared out the waste toner tank (there was a TON of powder). Let's see what happens.
Excellent video. I followed the instructions and did pretty much what you did on the video on my CLX-3185. Alas, it made no difference to the print quality at all. Still washed out colours. And now, a white line down the middle too. I must have left some dirt in the unit when reassembling it. Hey ho, if new unit doesn't solve it, I'm chucking the printer and buying a new one.At a loss of why it won't print colours out nicely. Black is more or less OK.
I just subscribed. Thanks for your videos! I have a question. Toner got behind the lens array when was emptying the toner out of the cartridge. Can I remove the array? Do I blow it out with compressed air. Wash it with isopropyl alcohol? Not sure what to do. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Hi I've apply your guide on my samsung CLX3175N, and i've same problem with a 5 millimeter black line at the top and another 1/3 of the darker leaf. When i print 3/4 pages, it's better on 3 and 4 pages. i don't succeed to see which piece i must change. thanks for support and thanks for your very best videos.
+viandant5 thanks viandant5, i've unmount fuser and check it, don't seen something seems wrong. On belt, i see trace of precedent print, i've unmount it and clean it, without success. when i just do a copy without something on the window, i've trace on the page. thanks
+Antoine Girard I think it's something related to the fusers, that when are hotter after some copies work well. or may be a toner cartridge near the end of its life
Your Tips are Great!!.Thanks a lot.Only what everybody should remember" toner is harmfull so don't get in contact with skin,body or inhale ".Whats about the resistor to replace?...this is a normal 100k resistor,..so how should the system short or open it when the counter for drum is full??...maybee you know it?
TheFlyer67 yes you are right, toner is harmfull but probably not carcinogenic. the fuser it's a normal thermal fuse 1/16A and it blow when you insert the drum into the machine. you'll find more information in the comment of khurram akhtar
Hello, I have a question : when cleaning my printer (samsung clp315) last week I removed the drum unit and noticed that the drum was full of toner. I swipe the drum and turn it but still a lot of toner. I shake it and a lot of dust (probably toner) was getting out. I am wandering if this normal or not : should we have toner inside this unit ? I tried to shake it until no more dust is getting out but it lasted for long. Should I dismanteld it and clean it as shown ? Thanks.
HI Viandant, thank you for the very informative and easy to follow video. I followed your instructions very closely to clean and reassemble my CLX-3185FW printer with no problem - other than heaps of waste to be emptied :( However, my printer is now printing totally black pages..? Can you tell me why this is?
Check the connection between the internal contact of the drum and the metal pin, check the supports of the charge roller and its connections, check if the drum turns freely
Thanks for your videos. I have followed your steps and it became obvious that my smudgy printing was due to waste toner everywhere after printing envelopes etc. After rebuilding I am still getting big patches of no or feint print but some decent print across the full page in places. Also, any pictures including the test page come out as a yellow smudge. Any ideas please?
I haven't attempted this, but my printer has lots of black and dark streaks in the photos, it appears to be leaking black poweder, hopefully this may fix it. I don't see anything wrong with the cartridges.
Thanks for your video. I have a Samsung Clx-3185fn printer and I have a problem with color printing. I just changed all the toners but the print is only black and white. Do you have any idea where this problem could come from?
My name is humar...I saw in the video ..that you change the fuse in blue color... so can you tell me the value of this fuse are you wearing... the 100k, resistor I already changed it..so I only need the blue fuse..Thanks buddy for you excellent information and video too...Grazie e Arrivederci...

Hi, My CLP-325W printer worked fine when I put it away for storage in 2021. Now that I want to use it again I find that after the power-up sequence completes it shows a steady red light. All toner lights are off, so toners are good. All doors are fully closed. Paper tray properly fitted (with paper). Any ideas on how to fix it? It was a new printer when I got it several years ago so I'm guessing that there will only be one resistor currently fitted. Should I fit a resistor or try the reset thing? Thanks for your video and help.
It's a general error, perhaps the drum unit or toner waste box. If moved the toner could cover the windows of the sensor so you have an error message Are there addtional information in the printer folder?
@@viandant5 Printer Folder? The printer did get shipped from the Far East to UK so internal movement of assemblies is possible but I already removed and refitted the drum unit and toner waste box. Where is this sensor window? Thanks for the reply.

Hello viandant5. This is an excellent video. Thank you very much. My printer is Samsung CLX 3305w and I wanna do this procedures because it's asking me to change the drum unit and it's very expensive. Btw, I have 3 doubts before. I would ask for your help. :) The doubts are: 1. Do I need clean all these things first or if I just change the resistor the printer will work? 2. My drum unit have only 1 resistor (100k). If I change it for another one, the printer would work, ins't it? 3. Do you know the details about this resistor? I've been reading about it and it seems there are variants like 1/4w and 2w, something about 5%, ... Thanks a lot.
Is the drum that should 'lubricated' with toner a NEW one, or the same one (called the 'old' drum when removing it) that was taken out? I just installed a new drum assembly and my 3170 still prints ghost text & images and strange horizontal black lines on the paper.
hice la limpieza y remanufactura de la unidad pero al quitar el eje o varilla lo hice por el lado opuesto y todas lai impresiones salen en blanco, coo podria solucionar este problema
i follow the video and am now at the step where the axel is to be reinserted through the drum. i can't seem to get it past something inside. It still sticks out about 3.5 cm. and is hitting up against something. Is there any "secret" to getting it through the last 3 - 4 cm. of the drum? Have a great day! :) Edit> Oops - my bad. The video clearly states "from the drum gear side". i was trying to insert it from the other side. / Phew! That was close. It went in very easily from the drum gear side.
Not sure if we have the same case. I got the same problem but it finally works. I re-checked the video and realized that I put the drum on the opposite direction. See the video 4:20 that the gear part should be on the right hand side. Thanks for your video. It's awesome.
Good afternoon, I have for sometime a laser printer ; Samsung CLX-3175-FN and was very happy with the performance of it, but lately I think that my laser printer is due for an service checkup, sins the paper transport is giving a lot of noise and paper got jam so often. I have try to my knowledge to clean the dirt and black marking on the print copy with no result. Mean time I have now using windows 10 and the drivers for this type Samsung is no longer available, what do I have to do instead of buying another printer, can you give me some advice.??
Well, it is printing very well now. However it seems to be making scraping sounds inside. i didn't see any suggestions to oil the drum axel - which is what it sounds like... Should i try this? Otherwise it seems to be printing just fine. Have a super day and thanks for such a wonderful video! :)

@@차달용 it's difficult to say exactly without checking the drum. may be the internal contact inside the drum cylinder is broken or bent, may be there is a faulty contact somewhere
I also printed blank pages. I had put the gear side of the QPC on the left. The gear side should be on the right side. Once the QPC gear was on the correct side, I was able to print again.
Followed these instructions because my Samsung CLP365's drum needed to be reset. All seemed to go well. Put the printer back together and the status light went green, but whenever I try to print, the green status light just flashes slowly. Printer never starts. Just sits there for hours flashing the light. Any ideas what went wrong?
viandant5 OK, I installed it. It just says "Status: Warning" and then below it always says "Warming up. Please wait." Doesn't tell me anything else in detail. Wish it did. When I try to print anything, the little status popup appears and says "Preparing Print Job", and the status light on the printer starts blinking, and that's where it stays. Even the popup stays on the screen.
I cleaned my Samsung CLX 3175 drum unit as per the video. On reassembly the drum turns freely counter clockwise but jambs up in the clockwise direction (as shown in the video. I can't figure out why - has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix?
Hi, i have followed your guide but i guess i have did something wrong. I tried printing a test page, but it only prints on the left most side for about 0.5cm thick. All the colors are there so the result is a heavy colored one. Any way to fix?
+Jepher Chang I think a component of the drum unit is out of position, may be the rod lens array. I suggest you to dismantle and reassemble again the drum unit.
+Jepher Chang I think the rod les array is broken, dirty or out od position or the drum is not reassemble correctly and the developer roller is not in contact with the drum surface.
hello, thanks for this excellent video! my clx-3305fn gives error about "drum unit", it says "change drum unit with new one". I have been using this drum unit since I purchased the printer 1 year ago. I think I have to reset its chip and I took out the chip on drum unit, it has one brown resistor as you mention about initial drum units. in the video, you removed green resistor and put a new one there. What should I do now? should I put a resistor behind the brown resistor like in the video? but what is the resistor's name or value to put behind the brown resistor? if you tell me its specification then I can find it in my country, in some electronic shop. THANKS A LOT!
do not remove the brown resistor, in your case solder the new component. put the component behind the brown resistor like in the video. I think it's not possible to find this component in some electonic shop, it's an integrated not a simple resistor
viandant5 thanks for the quick reply. should I put the green component behind the brown resistor like in the video?

viandant5 thanks a lot! after 2 days of search on internet, I have learned that there are 2 types of littelfuse. Type1 (0.0625A 125V) is to use on 110V city electricity. Type2 (0.0625A 250V) is to use on 220V city electricity. For example, in my country, we use 220V electricity so I think I should buy a littelfuse 0.0625A 250V version. I will order it and try it, I will let you know about the result.
viandant5 yes, it worked !!! I soldered the green littelfuse (0.0625A = 1/16 A, 250V version) behind the brown resistor on drum chip and I got rid of the "replace new imaging unit" error of my clx-3305fn printer! yayyy!!! :)))

I was just remarking that the videos that I have seen are strange because having to replace one thermal fuse or resistor with another and the printer somehow knows that it is another one of the same value is a strange concept for a guy who was a radio technician for a lot of years. Thanks again.
@@Dickwooten Looks like he added a thermal fuse in parallel which has little to no resistance may as well soldered a piece of fuse wire across it
@@Dickwooten When the printer sees a drum unit with very little resistance, it assumes a new one has been installed. It then blows the fuse by passing a lot of current through it. when this fuse blows, the 100k resistor is the only current path left. The printer now knows it has successfully "started the lifecycle" of that toner. It has no way of recognizing the toner (or a new one) besides a low resistance path that became high resistance after trying to initialise it.
CLX DRUM SHAFT INSERTION: Samsung seem to use the same drum design for many of their printers esp CLX series but bearing different Model numbers. The most important point in dismantling and removing the drum shaft is a result of the internal electrical contacts that while rubbing on the shaft, allow a clean shaft to pass easily through them in only one direction. This is from the end bearing the gear (and internal contacts) towards the opposite end. Unfortunately this is not mentioned in this "Remanufacture" procedure but can be seen by carefully comparing both the disassembly and assembly segments of the video.
I found that my imaging unit had an overflowing toner that stacks up from the top. Following your guide, I cleared out the waste toner tank (there was a TON of powder). Let's see what happens.
Excellent video. I followed the instructions and did pretty much what you did on the video on my CLX-3185. Alas, it made no difference to the print quality at all. Still washed out colours. And now, a white line down the middle too. I must have left some dirt in the unit when reassembling it. Hey ho, if new unit doesn't solve it, I'm chucking the printer and buying a new one.At a loss of why it won't print colours out nicely. Black is more or less OK.

I just subscribed. Thanks for your videos! I have a question. Toner got behind the lens array when was emptying the toner out of the cartridge. Can I remove the array? Do I blow it out with compressed air. Wash it with isopropyl alcohol? Not sure what to do. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
oh. never mind. I just did it. A quick puff of compressed air and the toner blew out.

Hi I've apply your guide on my samsung CLX3175N, and i've same problem with a 5 millimeter black line at the top and another 1/3 of the darker leaf. When i print 3/4 pages, it's better on 3 and 4 pages. i don't succeed to see which piece i must change. thanks for support and thanks for your very best videos.
+Antoine Girard I would check the fusers, or the belt
+viandant5 thanks viandant5, i've unmount fuser and check it, don't seen something seems wrong. On belt, i see trace of precedent print, i've unmount it and clean it, without success. when i just do a copy without something on the window, i've trace on the page. thanks
+Antoine Girard I think it's something related to the fusers, that when are hotter after some copies work well. or may be a toner cartridge near the end of its life
Your Tips are Great!!.Thanks a lot.Only what everybody should remember" toner is harmfull so don't get in contact with skin,body or inhale ".Whats about the resistor to replace?...this is a normal 100k resistor,..so how should the system short or open it when the counter for drum is full??...maybee you know it?
TheFlyer67 yes you are right, toner is harmfull but probably not carcinogenic.
the fuser it's a normal thermal fuse 1/16A and it blow when you insert the drum into the machine. you'll find more information in the comment of khurram akhtar
coal miners stay yeas inside the mine
Hello, I have a question : when cleaning my printer (samsung clp315) last week I removed the drum unit and noticed that the drum was full of toner. I swipe the drum and turn it but still a lot of toner. I shake it and a lot of dust (probably toner) was getting out. I am wandering if this normal or not : should we have toner inside this unit ? I tried to shake it until no more dust is getting out but it lasted for long. Should I dismanteld it and clean it as shown ? Thanks.
The waste toner is contained inside the drum unit, so it's normal to have toner in the drum unit
@@viandant5 OK so it is wated toner, then I can clean it, this will not affect negatively the printing ?
@@fredericpageot3506 no, you can remove it. Or even let it there, it does not change nothing
E ring remove that’s focking hard
Nice video thanks!!
My clp315 prints 2 black horizontal lines across the paper, that could be a drum problem?
How do I fix it?
yes it should be a drum problem. probably you have to change it
HI Viandant, thank you for the very informative and easy to follow video. I followed your instructions very closely to clean and reassemble my CLX-3185FW printer with no problem - other than heaps of waste to be emptied :( However, my printer is now printing totally black pages..? Can you tell me why this is?
Check the connection between the internal contact of the drum and the metal pin, check the supports of the charge roller and its connections, check if the drum turns freely
Thank you for sharing. Had all that I needed to know to fix my outdated printer.
My drum makes some noise after replacing the OPC... Do I need to lube the shaft before pushing it through the OPC? 🤔🤷♂️
It might depend fromn the metal shaft, you can use a bit of grease
Thanks for your videos. I have followed your steps and it became obvious that my smudgy printing was due to waste toner everywhere after printing envelopes etc. After rebuilding I am still getting big patches of no or feint print but some decent print across the full page in places. Also, any pictures including the test page come out as a yellow smudge. Any ideas please?
may be one of the toner cartridge is near the end of its life. check if the developer rollers of the toner cartridges are fully covered with toner
I haven't attempted this, but my printer has lots of black and dark streaks in the photos, it appears to be leaking black poweder, hopefully this may fix it. I don't see anything wrong with the cartridges.
Cori Fung, you have a starter drum started drums do not have the fuse. you have to insert the new reset fuse near the colored fuse
hii! (sorry for my bad english) I follow you step by step for cleaning the drum, but now my printer prints completely white. I need your help. thx!
Check the internal contact of the drum, may be it is bent
Thanks for your video. I have a Samsung Clx-3185fn printer and I have a problem with color printing. I just changed all the toners but the print is only black and white. Do you have any idea where this problem could come from?
My name is humar...I saw in the video ..that you change the fuse in blue color... so can you tell me the value of this fuse are you wearing... the 100k, resistor I already changed it..so I only need the blue fuse..Thanks buddy for you excellent information and video too...Grazie e Arrivederci...
+Humarbugo Ballesteros it's not a resistor, itìs a thermal fuse. In order to reset the drum without the thermal fuse, just put a jumper
across the terminals of the resistor (small piece of copper wire will
do). Close the door and plug the printer in. It will say "Initialize..."
followed by a flash of lights, after which it will most probably reset
itself as it is unable to "blow" the fuse (the cycle will repeat itself
indefinitely). At this point switch it off (unplug power) and take out
the holder with the resistor again. Take the jumper off (break the wire)
and put the holder back in. Close the door and let the printer startup.
Hello. Would you please shoot a video about how to dismantle the whole printer, especially the fuser. A paper is wrapped on the roller of the fuser and I don't know how to remove it!!

Hi, My CLP-325W printer worked fine when I put it away for storage in 2021. Now that I want to use it again I find that after the power-up sequence completes it shows a steady red light.
All toner lights are off, so toners are good. All doors are fully closed. Paper tray properly fitted (with paper).
Any ideas on how to fix it?
It was a new printer when I got it several years ago so I'm guessing that there will only be one resistor currently fitted. Should I fit a resistor or try the reset thing?
Thanks for your video and help.
It's a general error, perhaps the drum unit or toner waste box. If moved the toner could cover the windows of the sensor so you have an error message Are there addtional information in the printer folder?
@@viandant5 Printer Folder?
The printer did get shipped from the Far East to UK so internal movement of assemblies is possible but I already removed and refitted the drum unit and toner waste box.

Hello viandant5.
This is an excellent video. Thank you very much.
My printer is Samsung CLX 3305w and I wanna do this procedures because it's asking me to change the drum unit and it's very expensive. Btw, I have 3 doubts before. I would ask for your help. :)
The doubts are:
1. Do I need clean all these things first or if I just change the resistor the printer will work?
2. My drum unit have only 1 resistor (100k). If I change it for another one, the printer would work, ins't it?
3. Do you know the details about this resistor? I've been reading about it and it seems there are variants like 1/4w and 2w, something about 5%, ...
Thanks a lot.
Is the drum that should 'lubricated' with toner a NEW one, or the same one (called the 'old' drum when removing it) that was taken out? I just installed a new drum assembly and my 3170 still prints ghost text & images and strange horizontal black lines on the paper.
the lubrication only help the drum to rotate freely. probably you problem is related to fusers or toner cartridges
hice la limpieza y remanufactura de la unidad pero al quitar el eje o varilla lo hice por el lado opuesto y todas lai impresiones salen en blanco, coo podria solucionar este problema
i follow the video and am now at the step where the axel is to be reinserted through the drum. i can't seem to get it past something inside. It still sticks out about 3.5 cm. and is hitting up against something. Is there any "secret" to getting it through the last 3 - 4 cm. of the drum?
Have a great day! :)
Edit> Oops - my bad. The video clearly states "from the drum gear side". i was trying to insert it from the other side. / Phew! That was close. It went in very easily from the drum gear side.
Hi friend. Where can i find the foam / cleaning roller? My printer is a Samsung CLX 3185. I've been trying to find it but whitout any success.
I think nobody sells it. You can remove it fro another old drum unit
Hi, thank you for the video. It’s quite helpful. I replaced the drum on my printer but now it prints blank sheet. Do you know why?
Check the contacts inside the drum, check the continuity between the metal rod and the surface of the drum
Not sure if we have the same case. I got the same problem but it finally works. I re-checked the video and realized that I put the drum on the opposite direction. See the video 4:20 that the gear part should be on the right hand side. Thanks for your video. It's awesome.
Good video very informative.
Good afternoon,
I have for sometime a laser printer ; Samsung CLX-3175-FN and was very happy with the performance of it, but lately I think that my laser printer is due for an service checkup, sins the paper transport is giving a lot of noise and paper got jam so often. I have try to my knowledge to clean the dirt and black marking on the print copy with no result. Mean time I have now using windows 10 and the drivers for this type Samsung is no longer available, what do I have to do instead of buying another printer, can you give me some advice.??
where the paper is jamming? in the paper cassette? may be the pick up roller are worn or dirty, try to clean them with alcohol.
What liquid was the green colored drum lubricated with?
It's toner powder
Well, it is printing very well now. However it seems to be making scraping sounds inside. i didn't see any suggestions to oil the drum axel - which is what it sounds like... Should i try this? Otherwise it seems to be printing just fine.
Have a super day and thanks for such a wonderful video! :)
+Frederick Frazelle yes, you can use a bit of lubricant oil or conductive grease on the drum axle. have a godd day you too

Followed these instructions because my Samsung CLP365's drum needed to be reset. All seemed to go well. Put the printer back together and the status light went green, but whenever I try to print, the green status light just flashes slowly. Printer never starts. Just sits there for hours flashing the light. Any ideas what went wrong?
+wlcgblog you can view the status of the printer in Easy Printer Manager. If not already download, you can find it in the Samsung Download Center.
viandant5 OK, I installed it. It just says "Status: Warning" and then below it always says "Warming up. Please wait." Doesn't tell me anything else in detail. Wish it did.
When I try to print anything, the little status popup appears and says "Preparing Print Job", and the status light on the printer starts blinking, and that's where it stays. Even the popup stays on the screen.
+wlcgblog probably the fuse you use to reset the drum is wrong. remove that fuse and try insert the drum unit without that fuse
viandant5
Still nothing. Just sits there, "warming up" forever. Thinking it's time to have a funeral.
+wlcgblog I think it's related to the drum chip. this defect may happen when the fuse does not blow
Hi, after changing the fuse I got rid of "red light" but the Smart Panel says: "warming up, please wait"
Dominika Bieńkowska I think you have problem to the fuser unit. the "warming up" is related to the fuser rollers
viandant5 Problem solved, the fuse wasnt tolally burnt, took it out, now all works perfect! Thank you for great instructions!
I cleaned my Samsung CLX 3175 drum unit as per the video. On reassembly the drum turns freely counter clockwise but jambs up in the clockwise direction (as shown in the video. I can't figure out why - has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix?
+Curtis Nowosad first to install the drum, you have to lubricate the drum with a bit of toner (minute 3.55)
I found the problem ... the box with colored symbols has two windows - they have to be cleaned inside ... and ready. I lost a few days, but it works!

I did not lubricate the drum with powder, did I fuck it up? Lol seems to work fine
If it works, it's ok
Sorry. What is the value of the second resistance?
Hi, i have followed your guide but i guess i have did something wrong. I tried printing a test page, but it only prints on the left most side for about 0.5cm thick. All the colors are there so the result is a heavy colored one. Any way to fix?
+Jepher Chang I think a component of the drum unit is out of position, may be the rod lens array. I suggest you to dismantle and reassemble again the drum unit.
tried dismantling and reassembling it. now the dirt i want to remove is back. but still no text/image
+Jepher Chang are you sure the defect is related to the drum?
+viandant5 not sure. but that's the only thing I have touched. I still have inks about 50+%
+Jepher Chang I think the rod les array is broken, dirty or out od position or the drum is not reassemble correctly and the developer roller is not in contact with the drum surface.

hello, thanks for this excellent video! my clx-3305fn gives error about "drum unit", it says "change drum unit with new one". I have been using this drum unit since I purchased the printer 1 year ago. I think I have to reset its chip and I took out the chip on drum unit, it has one brown resistor as you mention about initial drum units. in the video, you removed green resistor and put a new one there. What should I do now? should I put a resistor behind the brown resistor like in the video? but what is the resistor's name or value to put behind the brown resistor? if you tell me its specification then I can find it in my country, in some electronic shop. THANKS A LOT!
do not remove the brown resistor, in your case solder the new component. put the component behind the brown resistor like in the video. I think it's not possible to find this component in some electonic shop, it's an integrated not a simple resistor

viandant5 thanks a lot! after 2 days of search on internet, I have learned that there are 2 types of littelfuse. Type1 (0.0625A 125V) is to use on 110V city electricity. Type2 (0.0625A 250V) is to use on 220V city electricity. For example, in my country, we use 220V electricity so I think I should buy a littelfuse 0.0625A 250V version. I will order it and try it, I will let you know about the result.
viandant5 yes, it worked !!! I soldered the green littelfuse (0.0625A = 1/16 A, 250V version) behind the brown resistor on drum chip and I got rid of the "replace new imaging unit" error of my clx-3305fn printer! yayyy!!! :)))

I assume your drum has been used for quite awhile. By cleaning it, does it help to last for even longer or it will just die after awhile.
+Jackson Boo Any ink reset guide?
+Jackson Boo cleaning the drum does not help to last longer. it only improve print quality
+viandant5 As the drum get older, the quality drop. By improving the quality = lasting longer? Or it just doesnt work that way?
+Jackson Boo It cno, it does not work in that way. the quality of a drum depends on the shape of its outer layer and light fatigue. cleaning a drum does not restore the outer layer
