Hello, Does it give an error message like 'high temperature' or 'emergency stop'? If it is 'emergency stop', check the electrical connections on your emergency stop button, I have seen on several machines that because of vibrations the emergency stop gets activated. If that's not it.. Usually, if the machine stops after a few minutes, it is because of too high temperature. What is the element outlet temperature when the machine shuts down? There is a temperature sensor that measures the element outlet temperature. Sometimes this sensor gives faulty readings or jumps up and down for no reason, or because of a loose connection. Hope this helps! Good luck! Cas
