Have a 16" Chinese AC Electric Fan that has a blown motor due to lack

Did some quick checking and the motor blew before doing unrepairable
damage to the bushings.

Have never had a blown Chinese AC Electric Motor before so would be
interested in any tips finding the blown fusable link.

Did some forum searching but found nothing using AC electric motor
fusable link but found nothing.

Thanks

You will find it hidden in the motor field windings. These are not
repairable. Similar to letting the magic smoke out and being unable to
get it back in the component.

How do you know it isn't a bimetal self-resetting thermal overload device?


How would that pass UL testing? The thermal fuse is to prevent a
fire, not to protect the transformer. Some transformers have the
thermal fuse in a pocket in the bobbin, but I have only saved a few of
them because the transformer has usually shorted windings before the
fuse blew.
