they are so commonly used because of being so cheap. but it would be
far better if a resettable kind were used. lots of perfectly good
stuff must be tossed every year because a thermal fuse fatigued
failed.

I service roll laminating machines for a living. sael, GBC, Laminex,
USI, Idex, Ledco. Sadly nother manufacturer Banner just went out of
business after 38 years.

the economy is far worse than were being led to believe...............:

Glad to hear that you've seen nuisance trips too, that makes me feel
like replacing the thermal fuse in our Bunn coffeemaker really "fixed it".
