Dell 2155 Printer is not printing yellow color

Our Dell 2155 Printer is not printing yellow color. I tried replacing with a new ink cartridge but still the same problem. I tried using the cleaning function from the front panel (All cleaning modes) and still the same problem. Any body knows why and how to solve this? Thanks.

    Hi MICK.D,

    Locate the cause of the problem using the Pitch Configuration Chart.

    1. Click “Tools “to display the Chart Print page.
    2. Click the Pitch Configuration Chart button. The Pitch Configuration Chart is printed.
    3. Compare the pitch of the color on your output with that on the Pitch Configuration Chart.
    4. If the issue persists, reseat the PHD (Print Head Device) unit if you have a spare one.
    5. After you reseat the PHD unit, click “Tools” to display the Chart Print page.
    6. Click the Pitch Configuration Chart button to print.

    Check the quality of the print and post the results.

    Thank you. I did print charts and all of them showed each color nicely except the yellow which is totally nothing except some on the sides of the paper probably because of the yellow powder I see inside the printer when I open the front cover. How do I reseat the print head? where is this print head device located? how can I access it?

    Thank you for showing me the manual. We do not have spare PHD unit but the printer is still new and under warranty. Is there a way I can open a technical support ticket online? The printer is still being used for printing black documents since only the yellow is the one that is not working. I cannot afford sending it back and losing the printer now. I would really like to know If there is anyway that can be done without sending the printer away.
