I wouldn't think it'll die I'm guessing it's going up because your not moving lile Gary says and it's going back down cause the fans kicking in? How long does it take to get to temperature?

Not expensive if you buy 2nd hand. Not a technical job, just a pain in the arse.

If I was you id investigate the heater controls first, make sure the temp knob is connected and working. It may be the cable has broken so not moving the internals
