      It Could be that the cooling fan isn't working it's located behind a small grill towards the rear of the left hand cover near the fuser door.

          (Stating the obvious?)... If the thermistors are bent / dirty, they will register a lower temperature than the actual temp and the machine will run hot.... until the thermostats blow!... (Smack them against the wall if they do.. ! )

              I believe there is also a cheap washable "filter" under the cover for that fan also. If the copier is in a dirty environment, it could be plugged.

              My Ricoh knowledge is slowly dwindling away at this point. Many things have been lost to time...

                  My answer would be the same, common problem with overheating in some models.
