Samsung CLX-2160 After about 4 months and about 300 pages. In fact on the occassion when I needed to use it a week after I printed a batch of about 250 pages "Low Heat Error - Cycle Power". The printer now appears to be broken as cycling power does not resolve the problem. Of course, this is likely a popular product so I may well just be one of the unlucky few - and it is still under warranty after all. Samsung CLX-2160 After about 4 months and about 300 pages.

Low Heat Error
Cycle Power
There is a problem
in the fuser unit.
Unplug the power
cord and plug it back
in. If the problem
persists, please call
for service.
If this doesnt work call the fuser unit needs to be replaced.
My 3175FW has same problem. None of the quick fixes worked. I took it
to a service company. They tried a fuser unit, but that didn't fix it.
Their estimate is that the printer needs a new power supply -- $300
before labor. Not worth it. Can't believe I spent that much money for a
top quality printer (so I thought) and it lasted less than 2 years.
Never again, Samsung.

However, I can help you troubleshoot the "Low Heat Error" problem with your printer.A "Low Heat Error" typically occurs when the fuser unit in the printer is not reaching the correct operating temperature. The fuser unit is responsible for fixing the toner onto the paper using heat.
Here are some steps you can try to resolve the "Low Heat Error" issue:
Power Cycle: Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, and wait for about 10-15 minutes. Then, plug it back in and turn it on again. This can sometimes reset the fuser unit and clear the error.
Check Power Source: Ensure that the printer is connected to a stable power source. Fluctuations in power supply can affect the fuser's heating element.
Printer Environment: Make sure the printer is placed in a suitable environment with adequate ventilation. Overheating of the printer due to poor airflow can trigger a low heat error.
Allow Warm-Up Time: After turning on the printer, give it some time to warm up fully. The fuser unit needs a few minutes to reach its optimal operating temperature.
Inspect Fuser Unit: Check the fuser unit for any visible signs of damage or malfunctions. If you notice any issues with the fuser, it may need to be replaced.
Update Firmware (Optional): Check if there are any firmware updates available for your printer model. Updating the firmware can sometimes resolve known issues.
If machine runs only in low heath cycles, then there is a problem with timer control, low heath selector, or heating assembly (cycling thermostat).
The first thing to do would be locating the tech sheet. The sheet is tucked inside an envelope located inside the control panel assembly. In the tech sheet you will find instructions to run a diagnostic cycle. The diagnostic cycle will return an error code that will help locating the fault.
With different Frigidaire Affinity dryers you need to press and hold Pause Cancel and SELECT for about ten seconds, then leave, put selector to NORMAL, temperature selector to HIGH HEAT and touch START to run the diagnostic cycle. The procedure for this specific model is described in the tech sheet.

This error generally happens when people try to run a bulky load, like a coat, rug, pillow, etc., using a high speed spin. For these loads, choose the low speed spin. After the cycle completes, if you think the clothes are too wet, power up the machine again but instead of choosing a cycle, just push the spin speed button until it shows the next higher spin speed (usually about 14 minutes will show on the display) and push start. The machine will usually be able to get to a faster speed now, as the clothes have some of the water spun out of them from the earlier low speed spin, allowing the machine to reach a higher spin speed without the Unbalance Error code showing up. Of course, you want to make sure the machine is on a solid floor with all the legs adjusted properly also.
I do believe that the low heat error is talking about having low heat at the paper fuser (the part of the printer that makes the writing stick to the paper). This can either be caused by a bad fuser or by a bad controller board that is connected to the fuser. There is not much that you the user can do to fix this problem. I would take the printer to an authorized repair center in your area.
I unplug the cord and still having the same problem, low heat error cycle power. Brand new computer.....
