K2 chamber heating is not working. G-code also not waiting for chamber heat to start print

Per the 20-minute delayed CP2559 Cabinet heating issue, “Is the cabinet sealed?” error code. Directs me to check the wiring to the heating element and cabinet temperature. Where are they? No diagram found yet and no Creality help desk response yet. Fluidd shows chamber heat 50% call. So heat is set on and 60C is requested. Still no heat. Apparently, Creality is aware of the issue as they leave out the pause until cabinet temperature is achieved to start printing.

I’m having this same issue. Were you able to get it resolved. If so what did you have to do?

same boat….

After many updates the chamber heating is working. The temperature sensor is on the back of the chamber next to the chute. The center fan does the heating and brings in the hot air. My process does wait now for the chamber to come to heat. You can change the chamber heat during the process but if the exhaust fan goes from 100 to 0 the heat change with change the part size enough the layers will shift. Sometimes a large amount! Placing a thermal couple in the chamber I verified it is working and averages 10 degrees C above the set point. I like having the additional process range but am concerned about the longevity loss Creality warns about. So, I am checking for the operating temperatures the specific electronics and servos are exposed to. There are circuit boards in the back that are vented as the back panel has drawn holes to give some edge flow. But the boards under the cover on the top right door handle side have no such protection that I have identified. I will investigate and see about a solution like vent openings behind the boards and closing the open exposed ends if possible and practical. But I will verify the boards temperatures though Fluidd and thermal couples to determine my observations and concerns are valid.

Nice smartbird. But isn’t modifying the printer this way, something that Creality should have thought about ahead-of-time and done? Why are you stuck re-engineering it’s design? Just thinking out-loud.

I started receiving the CP2559 alert while printing ASA. I removed the back cover to check the wiring (powering everything thing down first) and upon inspection of the AC power connections I noted that the Chamber Heater was wired to the 240b connector (I live in the USA). I rewired to the correct 120x lug, reassembled and chamber heater is now working. This is just terrible quality control by Creality.
