Sunbeam SLP3300B space heater circuit question

Finally got cold enough for me to pull out the electric space heater (which I have only used a couple times over the past season)... anyway it did not work. It is a very simple system, the rheostat, on/off switch, and thermal protection. I have tested that I get power through the rheostat (and tip protection switch), I have checked that I get continuity through the coils - so the circuit is not open. I have checked the thermal protection switch is closed... but then I get stumped. There is a cylinder thingy after the thermal switch connected to the neutral wire. I do not get continuity through that (I do get it up each leg, so it has a good connection to the board). I have attached a picture, I was hoping someone could help me figure out how to test it... whatever it is....thanks

Its a thermal fuse link & it will have a temp printed on it, as they come in a variety of temperatures. That is your problem as it should have continuity.
 
Thanks debe... I cut it out and the markings are super faint but there

I think it reads the following ("?"s I cannot make out all):

?0?25
SEFUSE
SF152E
167C
15A
JET125V

Does anyone know where i can find a fuse like that?

Thanks
 
Hello All,

Radioshack usually keeps a selection of these in the store. I am not a big RS fan but if you need it now it may be worth looking. They also carry NTE thermal fuses that are rated at a max current of 15 amps.

Thanks. rfranzk.
 
Does 1098 refer to an A series by any chance?
