Abstract:
An image forming apparatus, including: a photoconductor configured to be rotatable; a charger configured to charge the photoconductor; an overcurrent detector configured to output an overcurrent detection signal in response to detection of an overcurrent in the charger; and a controller, wherein the controller is configured to execute: an obtaining process of obtaining the overcurrent detection signal output from the overcurrent detector; a first counting process of counting a first number of detections based on the overcurrent detection signal obtained in the obtaining process, the first number of detections being the number of the overcurrent detection signals synchronized with a first cycle corresponding to one rotation of the photoconductor; and a first determining process of determining whether the first number of detections is not smaller than a first threshold which is not smaller than 2.

Claim (Index 6):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to notify information indicating abnormality when it is determined in the first determining process that the first number of detections is not smaller than the first threshold.
