ITYF that's not Kelvin.

 

Would be a bit of a bugger to store, that's for sure.

216*K* was what threw me there.

But putting an upper case K after a temparature expressed in Centigrade?

A most axial leaded thermal fuses are pointy at one end, although it
doesn't matter which way around they are fitted

 

The "K" may have nothing to do with temperature - it could be some other
kind of marker/identifier

 

Strangely enough he managed it OK in his second "go away" posting!

 

Or... it was a different person.

 

Quite right, my mistake. Apologies all round.

 

Thermal fuses usually are.

 

a fine collection of spellings, Sir, and no mistake. Where did you
encounter them, or are they 'your own work'?

A thermal fuse failure results in speeds 1, 2 and 3 not working but
speed 4 working as normal. Two speeds don't gradually die - it's all 3
bottom speeds with a thermal fuse failure.

Speeds 1 and 2 failing is more likely to be the switch itself
mechanically failing or one of the resistors in the green blob failing.

The fact that you lost the fastest speed as well suggests the
conventional fuse in series with the motor has now also blown. The
thermal fuse and resistors play no part in the fastest speed setting.

This failure may be a combination of failures
