Either the Overheat switch, or perhaps the Tilt switch is shutting down the unit.
Make certain there is nothing in front of the unit.
Make certain the unit is flat on the floor.

i have the same problem ... i almost throw this heater out ,,
the fix .. open the unit theres 6 screw at the back.. remove it if you have problem removing the triangle screw use the small square head screw ...size 0 and then you also need to open the black plastic ..
i believe it has 8 screws .. then vaccuum all the dust .. chances are the front and the back of the heating element is covered with dust ..
after that put all back together and i guaranteed it should work like brand new ,,,, dont worry its not that hard ... the only hard thing for me was removing the 2 triangle screws at the back .. Goodluck
SOURCE: I have a lasko tower ceramic heater that keeps shutting down.
mine does the same thing every year. I just clean out the dust from the vents on the back of the heater so the heater can breath otherwise it could get too hot and the safety fetcher kick in and makes the heater stop working.

it sounds like a sensor at fault or the control card if fitted
