Thermistor reads incorrectly after installing new hot end - Solved

Good afternoon Gentlemen. I have replaced my V6 hot end with a Rapido and it's associated pt-1000 thermistor. I have set my new HotEnd in my config file. The error I am having is that my thermister is reading 160 degrees despite the hot end not being plugged into anything. The hot end is cool to the touch. When the hot end was plugged in it heated up to "hotter than I want to touch" but the heat reading appears to be going down. I am fairly confident this is a setting issue rather than a wiring issue (it would be hard for even me to screw this one up) but I can't seem to find the setting. I don't think I have done any damage to the hotend or the thermistor as both are new out of package. Thanks in advance.

you need to change your config to tell klipper you are using a PT1000

You need to specify the thermistor in your user overrides
sensor_type: PT1000
