Ender 3 v3 se thermistor issue

When I compress the heatbed wire, the thermistor freaks out and sends a negative reading. I tested the resistance and it came out to 200k, double the standard, so do I have to replace it? The pictures are the cables, which I’m pretty sure was the thermistor lol, but it came out at the 200k whereas normal is 100k. This happened a few hours ago and I have been trouble shooting since.

For sure the cable / connectors need replacement. Also be mindful that there is a potential safety risk, if the sensor is misreading it could lead to overheating of you printbed.

Possibly a good idea to contact creality support for this!

I would get replacement bed assembly.
