Problem for Brother HL-5250DN Laser Printer

Grinding noise, no paper feeding from tray




By suecarlson on Jun 05, 2009

This just started happening yesterday. Printing is fine if paper is fed through upper multi-purpose slot, which can hold up to 50 sheets. It sounds like a gear problem either on the printer itself or in the paper tray. Is there an easy fix, or should I just get a replacement tray?

- Thanks for your input. I was able to remove the rollers OK, but I couldn't see where the black plastic arm should go. Should it be pushed up into the indentation in the purple plastic arm? I was unable to do this and didn't want to force it, but there's nowhere else push it back up in the printer, with or without too much fuss.

This will work.

If you remove the paper tray you'll notice a black arm hanging down in the middle of the printer...this should be up inside (the cause is too much paper being put in the tray then when the user tries to remove the tray it hooks this and causes it to be in the way of the paper when it rises).

Disconnect the power and remove the toner/drum. Turn the printer upside down and remove the rollers from the purple plastic arm (shove the arm ahead to make this easier). Once you have this disconnected and removed you'll be able to see where the black plastic arm should go. You can push it back up in the printer without too much fuss. Replace the rollers where they go and put everything back together. Voila!

This has happened twice in the past year and both times this has fixed the issue right away. Good luck! :)
