deepfryer thermal fuse

Assuming you are in USA try here

Here's a link to a Presto webpage where you can order a free instruction manual. Maybe it has a parts list.

I've looked at the rupture point of fusible resistors before but not looked at a failed thermal fuse. Is it possible to place the remnants on a heated surface with temperature monitoring and see when the conductor melts again ? Failing that try low and gradually increase temp rating

If the fryer has a US Patent number, then search for it here ...

The latter requires free registration, but the documents are conveniently provided as a single PDF file.

Throw it out. Fried food is bad for you, and is available on every streetcorner anyway. You don't need one at home.

I didn't ask for your dumb opinion.

Thus,you earn the "plonk". You waste people's time.(and oxygen)

it's a one-use thermal protection cutoff fuse,and I found it's specs and a source for it. (240degC./15A@120VAC)

but thanks anyways!

turns out the bimetal oil-temperature regulator switch contacts stuck and the cutoff did it's job.

thank you!

Mr. Yanik:

Whereas you are undoubtedly correct about my potentially wasting your time, if you put it in perspective I (potentially) wasted a tiny, one might even say insignificant, portion of it. What I said is equally undoubtedly true, and if by some bizarre twist of fate you hadn't heard the news about the perils of deep-fried food, the time I wasted might pale in comparison to the years I added to your life.

With absolutely no offense to you, I might suggest that you get a bit of a thicker skin. This is, after all, usenet. There are many many many moderated forums in which you might have asked your question... this is not one of them.

I do periodically post useful information, but if you choose to blacklist me over an innocuous, non-offensive posting, that is of course your decision to make.

Buck up, old boy!

As an aside, what I stated was neither an opinion nor dumb. It was statistically suported and factual.
