I've been able to print succefully for a couple of days, but now im getting 'Heater heater_bed not heating at expected rate' error.
Now the bed isn't heating at all, I attached the wiring diagram i have.
In the config i have: heater_pin: PA3
When attempting to heat the bed the green light is blinking
Thinking the problem can be in the thermistor wire or in the thermal fuse
I'll be glad to hear your suggestions

Not at hand, but will get one lended in a couple of hours, in the meantime where should I take the measurements?

It is very important to take these measurements with power off and the power cord unplugged.

#

But I'd probably start (with power off) by making sure all connections are good by measuring for continuity between connections, and also measure the thermal fuse to make sure it's ok.

These need looking at, not a very good crimp.

Is the plastic part of the crimp preventing a good connection?

make sure to do a contiunity test on all connections with a meter

Is this better? Haven't shrinked the tube in case this wasn't a good idea. I also corrected the connection with the ssr to avoid clamping the plastic
