Fridge plugged in the same outlet caused power surges - after installing a UPS with surge protection, my printer runs without crashing.

I've moved the printer out into the hall  of my townhouse and it hasn't disconnected at all yet. I've printed two 2 hour prints successfully, and I'm printing a three hour print as we speak. So far there have been no problems. I think the issue was the interruption in the circuitry of my room from having so many things plugged in on the same circuit. I have bought a battery backup surge protector and I'm going to see if I can bring my printer back into my room. I think this has solved the problem. Again thanks for all the help.

I have a computer, tv, fridge and fan plugged into an outlet. Could a power spike be caused by my fridge even if my printer is plugged into a different outlet? I don't think my controller temps are a problem as I have a fan on in my room and my printer is located right next to my window and there is cold air seeping in. The printer has been disconnecting randomly since I bought it. I fixed it temporarily by plugging into the wall instead of having it plugged into my surge protector. I was able to print out a four hour print without any hiccups and a couple of models after that. It seems as though the problem has only gotten worse now and I can't even push out prints that should only take an hour to complete.

Yeah I've turned off the power saving modes. It could be a loose connection or a faulty power supply, but I really have no idea at this time. I'm going to check out that link thanks muddtt.

Here's another guy with similar problems, but different printer. Maybe it'll give you some things to think about. Probably a good idea to mail support@solidoode.com

Maybe...does your computer go into some kind of power saving mode? Maybe it's going into standby after 30 minutes?
