This used to be a common way for temp sensors to fail although lately I haven't seen a bad temp sensor in over a year (I have tested hundreds).
You can't use solder in a temp sensor because it will melt (the old lead solder melts around 250C and lead free solder melts around 200C so neither are useful). So instead the wires are crimped to the temp sensor. When you heat it up metal expands and if the crimp isn't tight enough the resistance suddenly starts increasing (which makes it look like the temperature increased even though it didn't).
Anyway you need a new temp sensor. shop3d.ca sells them in canada. I sell them in usa.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
