Chuck,

You have your alarm set too low if it is going off at 120 degrees.  The
max temperature for a K6 is 85c which is 185 Fahrenheit.

My daughters K6 runs at a constant 123 degrees and it has been running
almost non-stop for about 18 months with NO problems.

I suggest you "up" the alarm threshold to something in the range of
128-132 degrees.
