same issue
I had the exact same problem and like you took mine out and set on the workbench and took it apart. Took me a while but after looking very closely I found some of the fins on the heating element came loose and were at a slight angle. They were close to the cut off sensor. I took some screwdrivers and straightened them to match the other fins and the problem went away. I theorized that the airflow was moved enough toward the sensor that it cut out, then it would cool and work again. Have no idea how the fins got misadjusted.
