Hi, I have a ceiling fan that stopped fanning. Turns out to be a thermal fuse that's blown, probably due to running the fan all day. The fan works fine otherwise. The fuse is a white rectangular radial type marked 115deg M20 07F. I have on stock a number of axial ones marked 156deg 10A. The closest Altronics stocks is 133deg axial 10A.
My question is: Would it cause a fire risk to use the 157deg ones, or even the 133deg? Or has the fan manufacturer just been over cautious by choosing such a low value? Or could it have other reasons, it certainly boosts their turnover. After all it failed in an otherwise healthy fan.
