Is the Thermal Cutoff really needed?

Not if your fire insurance is paid up.

Even then. Since if the insurance inspector finds that the wall adapter
was tampered with, you better have a good lawyer.

It's only a $2 part. Sounds like 130 degC, 1 A.

If it goes again, the transformer is overheating either because there
are some shorted turns in the transformer or the load is too high.

Or, just get a new wall adapter.

NEVER defeat a safety device except possibly for brief testing.


Absolutely agreed. Do not bypass this essential protection device
