Thermal fuses in appliances
Well I'd have thought they would auto reset myself. I have one on a fan
heater that once unplugged for about half an hour will reset itself.

Hi all,
Well, I got my tumble dryer working again by just cleaning the nylon
gears in the tumble/reverse timer with solvent; the grease on them had
congealed and hardened and forced them out of mesh (they don't run in
proper bearings).
So fine in that regard. However, as some people warned me, the power to
the heating elements is no longer there so it looks like one or more
thermal cut-outs have tripped (presumably when the drum stopped turning
owing to the earlier problem).
So.... where can I find these cut-outs and what do they look like?
cheers,
cd.
