Readoout says readout says "scanner malfunction. turn machine off and back on to reset. which, of course, doesn't work.

FIRST, if this code comes back. Have a technician look at it DO NOT CONTINUE TO RESET the code!!!! AS this is for the Hot Part called the FUSER. It can catch on fire! And that will ruin a perfectly good day!!!!


1. Turn OFF the main power switch.
2. Turn main power switch ON while pressing the Utility/Counter key.
3. Touch [Trouble Reset].
4. Check to make sure that [OK] is displayed and it has been reset.
5. After turning off the main power switch, turn it on again more than 10 seconds after and check if the machine starts correctly.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/normanj_7893313f0751935f

Try removing the battery from the hand set and unplugging the base unit for a few minutes. If that doesn't work, do a reset.

Mine would not turn on at all, found the contact pads for the buttons was corroded. Used an eraser and cleaned them, working good now. Of course the whole thing has to come apart to get to the contact pads.

the voltage could be low.

If your machine is a FAV6800A or FAV9800A the unblance error are most likely due to a Clutch malfunction. See this post Clutch Fix to see what is involved to re-lube/replace the clutch in the FAV6800A or FAV9800ATL. If you or someone you know has basic mech. skill sets you can do this it’s just a tight work area.

Here are some handy links; The Service Manual for reference. Sears Parts Direct for reference.

Hello,

The message "Unable to Clean. " will appear on the display if there is a
mechanical malfunction of the Brother machine OR a foreign object, such as a paperclip or ripped piece of paper is stuck in the
machine.

First, check the machine for any foreign objects:

1. Open the scanner cover by pulling up on the lower right corner of the
cover until it locks into place. Look inside the Brother machine and remove any foreign objects.

2. Close the scanner cover by lifting it slightly to release the lock,
gently push the scanner cover support located in the back of the unit
and then close the scanner cover.

3. If the error message continues to appear on the display the machine
will need to be reset. To reset the unit unplug the Brother machine
from the power outlet for several minutes and then plug it back in.

If the message continues to appear on the display and your machine is
within warranty, you can locate a Brother Authorized Service Center
(ASC) in your area by clicking on the link below:
http://www.brother-usa.com/service/default.aspx or contact Brother
Customer Service by calling 1-877-Brother (1-877-276-8437) Monday
through Friday, excluding holidays.

If your machine is out of warranty, you can locate a Brother Authorized
Service Center using the information listed above.

Please Let me know if this works, or if it does not.

Thanks,

You need to Reset the display,
Turn off the Scanner, wait 10 seconds then turn it back on,
Now Insert a pointed object, such as a straightened paper clip, into the reset hole on the left side of the scanner above the PWR DC 9V jack.and hold it for 5 seconds.
The display should return to normal operation..
Note this will not erase the frequencies in the scanner it will reset the display processor.. Let me know how it goes.. :-)

most likely the sensor that reads the scanner is at home position, is out of place.
It is probably hitting or rattling against the right side.
remove glass, (W/POWER OFF), move scanner away, and look on the sides of the machine there should be a U shaped sensor there, on the scanner there should be a L bracket that goes between the sensor

my hp 3052 suddenly stops, and there is a display "scanner error 6,turn off then on" Of course i did turn off and on several times but it keeps on coming back.
