I recently purchased a used Phaser 560. It does need a new imaging unit I have on the way. My concern is just before printing I hear what sounds like a motor that is struggling, the motor that feeds the paper is quiet so I don't know which motor is making the noise. Any ideas would be great???
 
The 560 uses 3 motors, the main motor which drives the imaging unit, paper feed motor, and a fuser motor. Go into diags by holding the 3rd from left button in while powering up the printer and test the individual motors to see if you can isolate which one seems to be binding.
 
I tested the motors, and the noise showed up while running a test on:
Cleaning accumulator belt
Black cam motor sensor
Cyan motor sensor
Magenta motor sensor
Yellow motor sensor
Any help as to what to do at this point would be great, also thank you for the information on how to test the motors.
