LM35DZ sensor gives 0 value

Hello. I am new to using the LM35DZ sensor and I just unpacked it. I believe I connected the cables correctly. But for some reason the sensor starts to give a value in a certain range and then slowly drops to 0. I have the same problem with 2 LM35DZ sensors that I just unpacked.

Code:

#define LM35_Pin A0


void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(LM35_Pin, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
  Serial.print("Value: ");
  Serial.println(analogRead(LM35_Pin));
  delay(1000);
}

Output (9600)
