Check which part of printer is making noise, check for damage/debris in area of noise; clean if dirty.

Remove and re-install cartridge. If noise still exists, see if replacing cartridge removes noise.

Also try to check if there’s paper jam in the printer.

Please do a quick test.

Open front door, then press door switch to re-activate printer (while leaving door open). 

If noise goes away, then noise is from Redrive or Fuser, which may need a replacement. 

For  further assistance please contact Lexmark Technical Support.
