My WF-3640 close cover sensor

When I turn the power on to my WF-3640 it starts beeping and flashing with message close cover then back to standby over and over never ending. I can shake it and it will work for a while then starts over. How do I access the sensor and clean it?

@fredric2 sounds like issues with the “Cover Open Sensor”. Should be on the front lip of the top cover and may require a partial disassembly. This may come in handy. You are looking for something like this (different model of the WF shown)

Thankyou, oldturkey03. After looking at the picture and link you supplied I was able to locate and clean the sensor. The sensor for the WF-3640 is just left of center on the front edge of the frame. There is a post on the cover that moves the contacter back when closed.
