Problems loading and unloading thread | MK3S Kit
I just got my kit for the Original Prusa i3 MK3S and when I try to load and unload the thread, the extruder wont stop moving even after the thread is ready. Is there maybe a problem with the sensor or is there something im doing wrong?

It sounds like the filament sensor is misbehaving.
The first thing I would check is to be sure it gives you definite 1 and 0 readouts with and without the filament present.

How do I do that? (Sorry im very new to this)

This article discusses the filament sensor and how to test it.

The 1 or 0 test is maybe 3/4 of the way down the page.

Ok it looks like the sensor is reading correctly but the heat wont go down after it has finished unloading the wire
