Hi,
The fuser unit is located in the right hand side of the machine. If you open the right door, inside the upperpart of the machine you will see 2 grey handles, 1 towards the front of the machine, the other towards the rear. If you pull these handles out you can then remove the fuser unit. There are 3 known faults for loud fuser noises,1 is the fuser drive gear inside the machine strips the teeth on it, second, the main drive gear in the rear of the machine strips the teeth(usually caused by the 1st problem getting broken teeth stuck in the remaining teeth causing the drive motor to strip the main drive gear) & thirdly, the pressure release mechanism breaks on the fuser unit itself. If it is any or these then unfortunately you will need the assistance of a dealer to replace the damaged parts.
Hope this helps.
Dave.

Loud noise burning smell

please describe the noise? Burning smell like plastic?
It's a laser printer, so it's possible that the fuser is an issue. Is there a paper jam in the printer under the fuser?

Copier making loud noise

Remove the drum/toner unit and close the top,...does it still make the noise? If so, there is a paper jam in the fuser section (left side)
I also have a Canon PC900 series copier....mine does not have the automatic document feeder, however the machine is the same....If the noise persists, you will probably need to replace the Fixing (fuser) Unit drive gears (worst case senerio) perhaps you can locate the jam in the fuser and "carefully" remove without damaging the Fixing Belt....good luck

On startup printer growls

Hi Charlie, These machines have a history of growling, however usually they growl before changing the fuser. The fuser is most likely the problem maybe you got a bad one. If you still have the old one and it was quiet you could pop it back in to confirm. Ther is also a gear kit available to replace the fuser drive gears but usually the noise is in the fuser.
Another growling noise can come from optional tray3 if installed. Easy to diagnose just lift machine off the assm. and print.

Hope this helps
