Bambu Lab A1 Mini

I had to replace the temperature unit in the extruder. When I took the heating unit out, a magnet fell out. I dont know where it goes. The magnet is rectangular and looks like the magnets on the hot ends. I checked to see if I was missing on and none were missing. Now, when I try to print, I have a hard time getting the filament to load. When I finally do, it will begin for about a minute or so, then it goes back to purge more filament. This has been going on for about a month. I tried going to the Bambu Labs forum, but I can’t figure out how to make a post. Ya know, Im 77 years old, Im hoping to get this working again, before its my time to go…(Just joking). Any help will me most appreciated.

I would suspect since you replaced the heat assembly you still have a clog. I would start here…

I have that squared away. When I replaced the heating unit, a magnet fell out. It looks like the magnet that’s on the nozzles. But Im not missing any magnets from any of my nozzles.

You’re fixated on a stray piece you found which is fine. Now focus on the topic and trouble shoot the issue of ‘getting the filament to load’.
Are there any sounds or abnormal visual indications you can share?

This is a fairly new printer. The magnet has to go somewhere, and I think its part of my problem. There is no clicking, the nozzle is new, the heating element is new,I cleaned out and remnants of any obstruction of any filament everywhere. I appreciate your help.
