Hello and welcome.
It sounds like there is a hardware issue with the fan and/or sensor. I believe the sensors are actually part of the logic board in the recent models, and aren't individually replacaceable. The fan can be replaced however.
Depending on how long ago the warranty expired, Apple sometimes will still cover it. iMacs aren't officially user-serviceable, and other internal components can easily be damaged when repairing them without the proper ESD precautions and training. The recent models are more difficult due to the adhesive used to secure the display.
