The gear drives the fuser roller to rotate, ensuring even heat distribution for toner bonding. The bushing reduces friction and prevents wobbling. Over time, the gear teeth can strip or the bushing can crack, leading to paper jams, wrinkled output, or poor print quality. For Samsung ML-2160, 2165, SCX-3401, 3405, and M202 models, a common fix is replacing this part rather than the entire fuser assembly. The Upper Fuser Roller Gear with Bushing for Samsung ML-2160 2165 SCX-3401 3405 M202 (Product #1) is a budget-friendly option at $0.97, while the JC66-03080A JC61-03755A variant (Product #2) offers a slightly higher price at $1.08, both with no ratings yet but solid compatibility.</p>
