Not enough filament coming from the nozzle

After about 30 prints, my new i3-Mk3s is not printing.  I have done all of the calibration tests, adjusted Live-Z and still not enough filament coming from the nozzle.  A temperature check for PLA 215/60 showed 98/58.  I removed the nozzle and it appears that the filament is backing up and not coming out of the nozzle.  I am wondering if the temperature sensor on the nozzle is not working.

Any ideas....

Well, at 98C, the filament will most definitely not flow properly out of the nozzle.

I would suspect the heater element or the heater wiring before the thermistor.

98 degrees C. is way too low. I'd check the heating element and the thermistor. Maybe you got a loose connection or an element malfunctioning. I would always keep these parts on stock.
