This is most commonly caused by a failure of the Fuser unit.
However, in rare circumstances, this can be caused by the Fuser Control section of the SMPS, or the fuser temperature monitoring circuit on the Main Board.
There is a closed control loop:
1. AC voltage is supplied to the Heat Lamp in the Fuser from the Fuser Control section of the SMPS
2. The temperature of the fuser heat is monitored by a thermistor (mounted on the Fuser) connected to the Main Board.
3. The Main Board determines if the fuser temp is too low, correct, or too high and signals the Fuser Control to increase, maintain, or decrease the AC voltage to the Fuser
sorry io say but you had to replace the fuser
call dell costumer support and tell your model no. ask for fuser replacement and they will do it .
Hope your printer is in guarantee period otherwise you had to pay.

The fax shows a messages saying "open heat error"

On this machine, you may have a fuser assembly that is bad. Replace the fuser modual.
If this doesnt work, then the main board needs to be replaced.
Also what most people forget is the fuser fan. Sometimes it turns slow and you will not even notice it. It might not even turn at all.
Replacing the fan will solve most problems, but if it still does not turn on, Look on there to see if it has a small circuit board on the fuser fan, replace it too.
if all else fails the main board needs to be replaced.
Good luck

Open heat error

From looking at the manual it looks as if you have a faulty thermistor. When warming up, it has to heat up to at least 60 degrees. If it stays lower then 60 degrees celsius for over 35 seconds and doesn't reach 60 within that time frame then that would cause the open heat error that is happening on your machine.

FAX ERROR MESSAGE

It sounds like the fuser rollers are not at the proper temperature to work.

They should be inspected by a technician.
