Infrared sensor overheat ?

When I print ABS the infrared sensor tends to get stuck on 1
I print in a heated cabinet, I notice when the temp goes slightly too high in the cabinet the filament sensor stops working and no longer auto feeds
When the printer cools down or prints PLA the sensor operates perfectly.
I have replaced the infrared sensor with the latest one and still have these issues.
Anyone else experience these issues ?
Any ideas If the rambo is overheating or if its the infrared sensor ?
thank you for any help in advance

RE: Infrared sensor overheat ?

My guess is that the plastic holding the sensor is swelling or deforming and triggering it.  Try reprinting those parts.
