Ricoh AC205 keeps overheating the fuser, could it be the controlle, I checked the Fan and it works fine, also I removed the main motor and loking for any signs of broken gears or signs of debris but nothing it's pretty clean, could it be the controller???

IH unit bad, this is an old unsupported Ricoh unit sorry.- Carl

Fuser Error. Check fuser thermistor. reset fuser error. go to service mode press clear modes, 1, 0, 7, hold clear/stop. once in service mode turn off main power switch on the left side. turn back on.

I think the sensor you're talking about is the thermopile. If that is what you mean, should give another different code.
Have you sow the fusing exit sensor fan motor (at the front right side of the machine)?

Disassemble fuser and inspect thermistor, thermostat and heat lamp. Replace broken part.

yes i think your right a slight flat when you turn the roller is a problem. check gears and hot roller and rubber roller bearings. hope this help your problem.

You have a fuser error. Unplug the machine and try again. If you still get the error, then you'll need to replace it.

The only reason they shouldn't print is due to a technical problem. There are no error messages or red lights at all?? That's very strange.
It must be a software glitch of some sort. You can do a memory clear to empty it out and perhaps restore the proper functioning, but it does set the machine right back to factory defaults, so you will have some settings to restore afterward.
You can get the manual here if you don't have it. Memory reset procedure is on page 8.2:

Go into the menu, then Maintenance, Clear Settings, and clear all settings. You will have to re-adjust everything, but this worked fine for me.
