An image forming apparatus includes a developing device that is mountable and dismountable and has a sealing member for sealing to be removed at a time of start using the developing device. The image forming apparatus further includes a winding shaft, a drive source, a detector, and a controller. The winding shaft rotates for removal processing for removing the sealing member. The drive source drives the winding shaft. The detector detects a value corresponding to a load torque applied to the drive source. The controller notifies of an error in a case where the value detected by the detector has become smaller than a predetermined value before a predetermined period of time elapses from start of the drive by the drive source.
