Hot end thermistor problem...again.
-
About two weeks ago, the hotend on my ender 3 (with Duet2 wifi) started reading 2000. I figured the thermistor went bad so I ordered some replacements and I finally have time to change it out. I didn't insert the (bead) thermistor into the heater block, I just plugged it into the board. Still reading 2000. To confirm that the new therm is good, I plugged it into the bed therm port on the board and it read fine. I've plugged them into both hot end thermistor ports with the same results. Do I have a bad board? Can I plug the thermistor into a different spot on the board?
Thanks,

Hi,
If I understand your post you connected the new thermistor to all three ports on the board and it worked.
Is that correct?

Thanks Frederick! I connected it to the bed port and it worked, but the two hotend therm ports read 2000.

Ah... That's not how I read it. Good to know.
Since both ports read the same it doesn't simply likely that they both would spontaneously fail at the same time.
Perhaps something happened to the configuration settings for them. Did you have a config-override file that somehow got deleted?
Post you config file here, please.

Hi,
Well that is a bit confusing.
How did config-override get generated? Was it a result of heater tuning?
And you mentioned a thermistor but in the config file there is a command for a thermocouple.
So what exactly are you using?
Thanks.

I don't know how it was generated. The thermistor is just one of the small "bead" pieces. These are what I ordered: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0150YLX9C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Would it just be easier to start over with a new config file?!

try deleting this line and restarting the printer.
also B4138 is incorrect for the ender 3.
see the guide about the correct ender 3 setup.

No I don't think you need to do that.
You have run heater tuning at some point correct?

Changing the M305 and the thermistor number seemed to work! Thanks all!

Not entirely sure how those settings got changed originally though...

Glad to hear you got it working.
As to the heater tuning question I posted - have you run heater tuning at some point in the past?
