    @Michele Beyer, that is a common occurrence. The thermistor (the part that separated) is only held in place by that rubber boot around the heater block. Just push it back into the hole.

    Got it, thanks. I had tried a couple times and just kept bending the wires, but I got it back in. Ripped the rubber though! :-/
