HMS 0300-9300-0001-0008: Chamber Sensor Open Circuit

HMS 0300-9300-0001-0008 means the chamber temperature is abnormal and the temperature sensor at the power supply may have an open circuit. Something in that two-wire path is broken, and the useful question is where rather than whether.
A thermistor rarely fails open on its own. The wire, the crimp or the connector usually does it first, and all three are repairable.
Where to buy
Find the break instead of guessing at it
A tone generator and probe lets you follow the sensor pair along a loom and hear where the signal stops. On a cable that disappears into a channel, that is the difference between a repair and a teardown.
Rejoin it so the joint outlasts the machine
Solder seal butt connectors give a soldered joint and a sealed sleeve in one heat cycle. A twisted joint in a cabinet that heats and cools is the same fault again in three months.
Prepare the wire without nicking it
A proper wire stripper takes the insulation and leaves the strands. A knife cuts strands you cannot see, and a conductor at half its original section is a joint that fails warm.
Then measure end to end
With the sensor unplugged, measure across the connector pins. Open circuit at the plug but around 100K at the sensor body puts the fault in the cable, which is the outcome you want.
How HMS 0300-9300-0001-0008 differs from a short
A shorted sensor at the air outlet is HMS 0300-9300-0001-0003. This code is the opposite failure in a different location.
When the heater is the real problem
A shorted element reports HMS 0300-9100-0001-0001. Sensor basics are in thermistors and general method in troubleshooting.
HMS 0300-9300-0001-0008 FAQ
Why is there a sensor at the power supply?
Because the supply is a heat source the machine has to watch.
Can I bridge it to clear the code?
No. That tells the machine a lie about a hot component.
Is it usually the sensor?
Usually the wire or the crimp. Check those first.
Does it stop printing?
It can, because the machine will not run blind on heat.
Open circuits turn up on the toolhead as well. HMS 07FE-8000-0001-0002 means the Hall sensor that detects the extruder switching angle is open-circuited, which is a break in the signal line rather than a bad reading of it.
