If we assume the thermocouple channel is reading back the correct value, and that the heater control electronics is functioning properly, then there must be a reason the heater is not transferring enough heat into the hot end to achieve the target temperature. Either something is sucking the heat out, or something is keeping you from pushing enough in. 1.) Have you changed the thermal wrapper or added fans, or made some mechanical alteration that would increase the thermal mass or thermal conduction out of the hot end? 2.) Have you done anything that might reduce the heat conduction path from the heater cartridge into the hot end? Like adding a sleeve, or some layer of non-conductive crud between the heater and the block. Or maybe bad electrical connections to the heater element or possibly a bad heater element: Measuring the two heater cartridges on my QiDi they both appear to be about 14.1 ohms across the unplugged cartridge at room temperature.
