BED PREHEAT ERROR

I normally print PLA with no problems. I decided to try ABS so i can vapor smooth prints.  

during a test of the printer this happens.

 

1.I set temperature on bed to 100c 

2.Printer only reaches 75c before Bed preheat error occurs  

3.I checked thermistor with a blow drier to confirm it was working properly.

 

What troubleshooting step is next? If heater on heated bed is the problem, is it better to repair or replace?

There is no separate heater for the bed. It heats due to the resistance of the copper tracks within the PCB bed. Check the wiring. If you have a loose connection or frayed wire you may only need to replace that.

@billcampbell I comfirmed connections are good. The heated bed ohms out at 1.5Ω and is receiving 11.55 DCV
