Hoover Vacuum Cleaner

Hi everyone,
I'm attempting to repair a hoover H 500 upright vacuum where the brush-bar doesn't revolve. I've bypassed the pcb and the motor itself does run. The switch to control this motor (there is also a separate suction working motor) is ok... on for carpet, off for flat floor. This then leads me to the pcb itself, see pictures. I suspect the component in picture 1 which has no continuity but am not actually sure what it is. Looks like a bimetal strip/fuse type of item but can't find same or equivalent online. Anyone identify this and suggest replacement? Thanks in anticipation.
 
Move a strong magnet towards and away from it. You should hear a faint click when the reed contacts close. If the contacts have welded together you won't hear that click and the weld would have been caused by excess current/arcing, which could have damaged something else.
 
Thanks for your input chaps. I'll try the magnet idea tomorrow. There doesn't appear to be a magnet anywhere near the component however. Do the letters/numbers mean anything to anybody (not to me!!!) DEU011 (poss OII or combination thereof!)-NZLG-67 If this checks out, the pcb becomes suspect...not really my bag, but I'll keep at it!
