If you have a schematic, a good tech of any sort should be able to trace the problem. Just me careful as there is often latent current in the unit that will bite you.

Having had a rf glue machine in the dim past there are a few things you could check. Is there any burning or charing on your bottom platten if it is made of wood like mine was, this will cause a short of the rf. and trip the circuit .. cleanliness is the ticket with these machines check inside the cabinet for the usual tight connections etc... CAUTION there are deadly voltages inside... if it has been working well up to the fault problem it is probably shorting the rf somewhere ... look it over well and you may find a scorch mark. Try cycle the machine with a load without glue .. if it heats look to your bottom platten for scorching ... the electricity goes through the wet glue line. My machine was an older Ers but made tops like mad ..oh yes.. if it's not solid state could be one of the diode tubes is going bad ..
