Hotend Heating but Thermistor shows ambient temperature
Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2019 10:40 pm
I have a new H2 with the HE280. I went to start the first PID tune of the hotend during initial calibration and noticed the temp never went up. I checked the heater block and noticed it was very hot but the temp reported on the LCD is still about 25°C. If I set a new temperature via the LCD, the target temp changes and the hotend still gets hot, but you wouldn't know it per the LCD - it never changes from ambient. The fan also runs non-stop at full speed from the moment I turn it on, even if it's cool. If I unplug the green and white wires from the mini RAMBo, the temp still shows up on the display at around 25°C, and the fan finally slows to a much lower speed. I'm at a loss as to how to troubleshoot next since I can't seem to get the thermistor to even disconnect/go blank from ambient.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
