Your problem now is that when your motor fills up with lint and starts
to overheat, there is no thermal cutout to turn it off before it gets
to the point where it starts smouldering and blowing glowing particles
along with a forced draft all over your girlfriends bikini or your
slumbering body.

yeah, just hope that doesn't happen too soon. i usually don't leave a fan
running unattended, waste of energy. but, if someone knows of what
size/what kind/where i can get one of those tiny glass diode/resistor shaped
thermal "fuses" maybe i could solder one back in and won't have to worry
about setting my girlfriend's bikini on fire etc.

The trick is reading the part number on the old piece to get the
rating - usually in Degrees Celsius. Or finding the manufacturer to
get the right rating. Any decent appliance parts supplier has them.

You can guess, but if you do guess LOW. Better to deal with a
nuisance trip than flames.
