    Thanks so much for this! I’m a teacher and had to finish gifts yesterday. My laminator ate one of the kids pictures! Thanks to your post, I was able to take apart the laminator, get the picture out, and all was well! I appreciate it!

    Thank you so much, this is very helpful! - a grateful teacher

    This article was very helpful to me. I learned that the plastic tab over the rectangular opening on base, is where the spring connects to the base was missing. Thus, I had no way to reconnect the spring and re-engage the rollers. I came up with a work-around. I pushed a cotter pin up thru the base and I aligned with the eye of the cotter pin with the top of the vertical section of the base. I bent the cotter pin and secured it to the outside of the base with Gorilla Duct Tape; a thick, strong duct tape with excellent adhesion is needed.

Why is the screw on the left side so hard to get out?

Teri L Geist - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

Thank you..

Putting it back together is more of a challenge.

Frank - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

You're right Frank. For me, getting it to stay together after the tear down and reassembly required superglue and two extra screws. ;) But at least it's working again. Thanks for the great instructions.

Thank you! Just needed to open and remove a jam. Followed your guide and all is well.

Thank you for posting these instructions. I was able to remove a quarter that got trapped inside.

seanretzloff - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

Thank you! My son fed a sheet in the wrong way and it got completely jammed. Following your instructions, I was able to take the cover off and pull the jammed plastic out. I would NEVER have thought to remove the rubber feet to look for screws!!

Kelly McLean - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

Can you provide instructions on re-assembly? I seem to be lost on the little bar with the hook.

Louanne Trebing - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

I have one with the power cord cut completely off, just behind the machine. Theres not even enough cord left, machine side, to splice it back together. Would removing the plug/cord completely and replacing it with a new one (or the rest of the old one) be an option? Or am i just squat outta luck! Thanks

Thanks!  Just fixed it!!!  mine was jammed

Need to replace the thermal fuse just asking how many degrees is it?

dick_ramos72 - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

Thank you for this!! I got something stuck in the roller and this saved me so much time and stress!!

Amber K - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

I have this unit and bought it new out of the box at a thrift shop. Found out the thermal sensor that rests against the bottom roller was cracked in half, so it didn’t see any use because of this. Is there anyone that happens to know what the value of this sensor is so I could solder in a replacement?

None of my Philips head screwdrivers seem to engage properly with the screws. I think they might be pozidriv screws.

Rick - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

My scotch laminator on off button is gone. Where did it go and can it be fixed? Does anyone have an image or picture of the inside of the area in the laminator where the on off button?
