I have found that current devices that heat up (hair dryers, straighteners etc...) all are made so flimsy that at a certain heat point, the shut off.
I also have come to realize and expect that there IS A SHORT LIFE EXPECTANCY for any heating electrical product.
If your device is new, I would return it. If it's old, buy a new inexpensive one (on sale) .... MAKE SURE YOU BUY ONE THAT YOU KNOW IS GOING TO HAVE A RELATIVELY SHORT LIFESPAN. Silver color does not mean metal nor a longer lifespan. Buy cheap, use and replace as needed.
It's an eco-nightmare, but once a heating product goes out, it is too dangerous to even think you can fix it yourself without risk of potential major fire. It may look fixed and you then come home and it's burned to the ground.
