Adjust the fan control to come on at approx 130 and shut off at approx 85-90

Or if that don't work, the motor might be going off on IOL. Next time it does it, wait until it goes off, cut the power and after ensuring the fan has totally stopped...reach in and touch the body of the motor. If its real hot, the motor is toast. You should be able to lay your hand on the motor without being burnt.

Or if you're handy with a multi meter, check the motor windings when it goes off to see if they're open. They should not be.
