Lexmark T64X -- Fuser Cleaning Wand Cover Defect

The fuser cleaning wand cover on the T64X machines has six little claws that are meant to grip and carry the cleaning wand or cavity insert. Here's a photo of one that's still intact.[1]

The claws become brittle with age, and break off and fall into the fuser -- not helpful. The cover pictured below has lost two of its six claws.

Whenever you see this, take a pair of pliers and break off all the remaining claws. You'll save yourself some future aggravation.

[1] P/N is 40X0001. It comes as seen in the first photograph above, with a cavity insert attached.

  1. Can you run the machine without cavity insert (fake wiper placeholder) ? I always wondered why it was there. : /
