Hello, I have three table fans whose thermal fuses test no continuity. Since where I live repairing them is worth it, I tried to look for the small burnt fuses but they're very difficult to source. Is there any other options like bypassing them or else?
Note: The pictures are from the Internet but similar to my appliance.
If you bypass the thermal fuse then you're removing a layer of protection, and making them a potential fire hazard - thermal fuses are a pretty standard component, and should be available pretty well anywhere.
Here's a similar one, just with a higher current capacity:
like Nigel said bypassing a thermal fuse is a bad idea.... something caused them to fail, and if that was heat from a shorted winding in the motor, you might get a fire as a result of bypassing the fuse. if it was overheated because the motor needs it's bushings/bearings cleaned, than correct the cause of the overheating.... still, best advice is to replace the fuse rather than bypassing it.
