Extruder Temperature Sensor Fault - Thermistor Reading Invalid
Quick Answer
Error code E02 on your FlashForge FDM 3D Printers means: Extruder Temperature Sensor Fault - Thermistor Reading Invalid. This is usually fixable — see the step-by-step guide below.
Affected Models
Likely Causes
  1. Thermistor has failed open or shorted
  2. Thermistor connector on the extruder board has corrosion or loose pins
  3. Thermistor wire damaged during nozzle change or maintenance
  4. ADC input on the mainboard is giving erratic readings
How to Fix It
1
Check the displayed temperature on the touchscreen: a reading of 0C or an extremely high value indicates a sensor fault
2
Measure thermistor resistance at room temperature (expect approximately 100K ohms for NTC 100K)
3
Inspect the thermistor cable and connector for visible damage
4
Reseat the thermistor connector on the extruder board
5
Replace the thermistor if resistance is out of specification
Pro Tip
This fix requires some technical knowledge. If you're unsure about any step, consider contacting support or a qualified technician.
