I fix these machines for a living. The temp sensor transistor is bad. it gets out of spec when heated and causes the machne to overheat,. so order a new 12 buck transistor from digi key and replace the thermal cutout.
this is as near a guaranteed fix as you can get.
the transistor can even check good on a transistor checker but still be bad. I have seen this occur....
if you have any questions feel free to call me, phone help is always free.
