MacBook Pro Random Shutdowns

My Early 2015 13” MacBook Pro randomly shuts down.

This started after I left it unattended while on vacation, when I got back the battery had drained and the issue began.

I opened up the back and found that he fan never runs and the heat sink gets pretty hot before the shutdown.

Installed HW Monitor and found some temps abnormally high at 129.

Airport Proximity and Heatpipe Outgoing are at 129 C always.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I've personally noticed with the later retina model Macbooks (prior to the introduction of the touch bar) don't run the fans until the device really needs to cool down.
