I've fitted the new thermal fuse and bingo! It works again. Now for
the Hoover PurePower 1900w.

However, the cut-out on the Hoover is different in that the thing cuts
out, then you leave it for two to three minutes and it will start
again. The time until cut-out gets shorter and shorter.

The Panasonic's fuse OTOH was a one-time "blow", never to work again,
which figured, as it gave no warning at all when it stopped working.

The thermal fuses tripping are normally symptoms of another problem.
Did you identify what the original problem was?


Pure age can be another. I've had a few go on items like chip fryers where
there hasn't been any over temperature.
