Or follow the instructions below to repair it:

If the plastic cover is broken or the wire touches the metal part, the sensor can't read the temperature. You can check it out by sending **`M105`**&#x69;n Terminal,  with this issue,  you should see a minus temperature value(usually -15 ℃) or see a MINTEMP message shown as the picture above. &#x20;
