hi all, i have a Sharp SF-2035 copier that has a grinding/clicking noise coming from the rear of the machine when switched on. it doesn't always happen immediately but usually within the first 10 mins or so. all spindles turn freely within the machine and there is no paper jammed or such like. any ideas anyone? also needing an engineer in the liverpool area of UK to quote for parts and repair this if any reading this posting? if not, a service manual posting would be an appreciated start to identifying the problem. thanks Shortie
Sharp SF-2035 copier problem

That sounds like a problem that affected a lot of their (and Xerox branded) copiers. There's a geared assembly that pumps toner out of the cartridge that makes sounds like that when it's breaking. Eventually it'll pump lots of toner into the copier and ruin it.
Replacement parts are available, but they'll just break aga> hi all, i have a Sharp SF-2035 copier that has a grinding/clicking noise
thanks for the feedback Mike, i also got told this from an engineer today. he's quoted £45 callout/labour and just over £100 for all the parts and a service of the whole machine to ensure its o.k. for use. i will only be using it to make some manuals and schematics so no heavy use intended for it. if i get a year out of it i'll be happy
