The limit switches are just flags that block or unblock photo sensors. Try blowing the printer out with some canned air, paper dust on these sensors is a common cause of these problems.

Testimonial: "Thanks very much, I'll try that - I'd like to think it was as simple as that! Kind regards Ray"

Most likely a part called the photo interruptor went defective on you. Usually when that parts goes papers stop halfway or it says it jams. Best and fastest way is to look through ebay. Its going to be difficult finding one other places. If youre really seasoned with electronics. You can take one from a scanner

I cannot print heavy paper. It consistenly jams. My HP inkjet prints the same weight of paper easily. Suggestions?

The maximum paper weight that should be used on the CLX-3175 is 163gsm, so if you use thicker paper it would jam.

I can'r find the paper jam in the printer. screen

If not picking up the paper then it the Pick-up Roller just above where the paper tray is. Remove the paper Tray and Tip Printer back so you can see under the Printer. Take some rubbing alcohol and clean off the rubber roller

My 3175 is jamming on the paper rollers each time I try to print. The paper feed through partially and then jams; with the printing done half way down the page. I have had a good look inside at the front...

That model has a problem with the exit sensor, it gives false jam errors. It is in the upper left side above the fuser. The part number is 0604-001393 and I believe www.precisionroller.com has the part.

Constant Paper jams on CLX-3175FN

The fact that there appears to be no actual jam tells me that it is not picking up paper out of the tray. Try some alcohol on the pickup rollers, rubbing well. If that helps, replace these rollers.
