<p>Thermal runaway occurs when the hotend is on, but the sensor does not pickup any temperature increase. In many cases the thermistor is broken or the connection is bad.
A friend of mine had the thermistor broken on his Ender 3 pro. It worked sometimes and sometimes not. Buy a new thermistor.(a few $ only) and replace it to be sure.</p>
