I have a Presto "Grandpappy" deep fryer that died the other day;the thermal
fuse is open.I can't read the markings on it.Can anyone suggest a suitable
replacement? I believe the fryer runs at around 350-400degF.
(there's a separate thermostat to control temp.)
it's rated at 1500 watts. The heating element ohms OK.

If the fryer has a US Patent number, then search for it here ...

The latter requires free registration, but the documents are
conveniently provided as a single PDF file.
