My school has a GBC 4250 and the machine will not heat up anymore. I tried changing the fuse in the back but did not seem to do anything. The ready light turns on the minute you turn the machine on. The wait light should light up first but it dosen't. Would it be difficult to change the heating element myself? The repair person charges 350 just to come out so if I can't fix it they school will just buy another. Big expense that could be avoided. Any help would be appreciated.

Its the thermal cutout that rides on the underside of the roller .Take the covers off and access it from the rear . Its the one on the right from the rear view. Remove the two screws from the front under the bottom roller and it will fall loose . get on e-bay and you can buy a new one .

SOURCE: I have a gbc heatseal

There is a small 125 v 10 amp fuse in the circuitry on the right inside the unit. Whether or not this will solve your issue is unknown. I have one apart in front of me right now with other problems.

SOURCE: Unibind machine will not heat. Does heat if

I think it can be fixed. It appears that there is some kind of loosing inside the machine and when the machine is turned upside down it heats up because the electrical contact is made. If you can work inside such electronics, you may try to fix. IF NOT DONT TRY IT (there is a danger of electrical shock). Instead you may refer any repair/ service professional .

Hope it helps! Good Luck!

Why is my GBC Ultima laminator beeping?

It will beep when you turn it on to acknowledge power. It will also beep when it reaches ready condition. Your laminator has safety switches for the lower feed tray and upper heat shield. Any time the upper shield is lifted the power is shut off. When you lower it down the power is turned back on, causing a beep. The same is true for the lower feed table. When it is removed and then re installed the machine beeps. These are safety features so that the laminator doesn't turn on when you are reloading it or unjamming it. Check that the safety switches are fully engaged if you get unnecessary beeping.

My gbc heat seal ultra 65 laminator is not heating up at all, what is the solution to fix it?

Does the machine panel light up? If not, make sure the lower feed tray is installed correctly and the upper shield is closed. If the panel lights up and it still doesn't heat up then you may have an electronic problem. It could be a triac, which controls the voltage applied to the heat elements. If the machine goes to ready,but it is not hot then check the temperature sensor.

Why won't someone answer the ??s about the GBC Pinnacle 27 power light in the back works, but no power

Each heat shoe has a small thermal fuse, if either fuse is blown, the laminator keypanel will not operate. 99% fix everytime, just follow the wires from each heat shoe (right side of laminator) cover off. Ohm each set of wires and look for an open circuit. replace fuse (TCO) and it will work everytime......

Gbc heatseal ultima 65 won't turn on. It shut off while laminating a poster. It was getting close to the end of the rolls, but it just shut off and wouldn't turn back on at all. 4 Days later it...

GBC appear to just be a crappy company. I have a Heatseal H212, same problem. Worked fine then one day when I turned it on it never became "ready". I waited a while longer then turned it off.. except it wouldn't let me turn it off. I had to unplug it from the mains to get it off. After that, it would never turn on. Checked the fuse, it was fine.
