Well I'd have thought they would auto reset myself. I have one on a fan

The one in my old washer dryer's dryer heater was a one shot.
The idea was that if it went you probably needed to unclog the heater
housing where the fuse was.


Are people talking at cross purposes here?
Is the OP talking about thermal cutouts, which are probably klixon, or
thermal fuses which don't reset once blown?
