Space Pi (Dual) filament debugging E4 error code

Though I’d share E4 debugging info from support as was not able to find this elsewhere…

  1. Turn on the dryer and check if the screen displays the normal temperature.
  • If the screen displays an E4 or EA error upon startup, restart the dryer.
  • If the normal temperature is displayed upon startup, proceed to step 2.
  1. Operational test: Open the dryer lid, set the heating temperature, wait 10 minutes, and observe if the screen displays an E4 error. (If E4 is triggered, then E4/EA is used to detect lid opening during heating or a faulty thermistor.)
  2. The recommended operating temperature for the dryer is between 5 and 35 degrees Celsius. If the ambient temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius, try using the dryer in a heated room or heating the thermistor with a preheater or heat gun. Wait until the dryer is warm before using it again (the blue arrow in the image indicates the thermistor location).
  3. If the dryer displays the normal temperature upon startup but the screen temperature does not rise after heating, check for loose wiring on the mainboard.

And link to how to replace a dead fan, which is also how to dismantle it in order to replace a faulty circuit board &/or fan

FYI in case anyone else hits this, it can be self fixable.

After a replacement circuit board my error went from E4 to E2

Using above information found and fixed E2 via (power off) using a screw driver and gently separating the smaller item on the back of the circuit board so the legs were no longer touching
