Thank you thank you thank you my friend. Had the same error code on my M182W. Disassembly was a bit different, but essentially took out the piece and inspected it as you said. Saw no damage, reassembled and the error code was gone. Printing resumed.
Thank you for an excellent video of the disassembly of the printer. Do you know the part number for the piece you showed that sometimes needs to be replaced (my case)? Thank you again for passing knowledge
