    The machine will abort the heat pause if no temperature rise is detected in one minute or so.

    The economy switch is in series with the thermistor, therefore the machine will only heat for one minute and then abort if the economy switch is selected.

    The fact that you have heat for one minute implies that your problem must be in the economy switch or the thermistor wiring.

    Another possible, make sure that the speed control resistor (if it has one) hasn’t been put on the variable temp position by mistake.

    (it’s the back two connectors marked 52 to 57 on the sheet that I sent you)
