extruder not heating correctly "verify_heater" issue where it sits at 150 C

Hi All, I'm having an issue trying to set up my extruder. I get the issue shown in the first image, other people have had the issue but with slightly different solutions. I see others have had a thermistor/sensor setup issue in their config files, however i didn't have the sensor heading in my config file, it looked like what is shown in the second image. with nozzle diameter dir_pin, control, pid_kp etc. After seeing other peoples config setups that included sensor type etc. I went and found the rapido (my hotend) .cfg file, which had all the info I was missing and copied the info from this (see third image) and added it into my config file where all the dir_pin, control, pid_kp etc. was that other people didn't have. I saved and restarted the firmware, however when mailsail booted up, klipper came up with an error stating that control needed specifying (no picture I'm afraid), so I copied the control line back into the config file... next reboot it asked for the pid_kp to be specified, eventually I copied the entire original extruder lines into the new section see picture 4. once I added all these lines in, klipper would start up again but I ended up back with the original problem, where my extruder has a target of 0 but is at 155 - 160 C see picture 5. I've also loaded up my config file, as I'm having this issue with my hot end but i also don't have any info about my extruder, which I selected by uncommenting when setting up, so reckon the issue could be my config, but hoping someone can tell me where I've gone wrong, thanks all

If you are going to modify your printer.cfg, you should do it in the USER OVERRIDES section. 1) so revert all the changes you made to the extruder section 2) in the USER OVERRIDES section add
[extruder]
sensor_type: PT1000
[extruder]
sensor_type: PT1000
