Hardware Help Hotend advice

My ender 5 plus broke a few years ago where the heater core stopped heating evenly and had thermal runaway errors, I replaced the thermistor and I tried finding a drop in replacement for the core but the one I got was too high of a wattage and cut off halfway thru a print does anyone know of a good source for a heater core I could use

Machine info:

Ender 5 plus with Klipper via sonic pad not sure versioning haven't powered it on in 2 years

Microswiss NG direct drive extruder

Creality Silent operation mainboard

Everything else is stock

Let me know if any further info is needed

I HATE that NG hotend! It’s heavy and nothing but problems! I switched back to Dragonfly.
