| + | [title] Cut away the insulation around the thermal cutout |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] Use a razor knife and carefully cut away the silicon insulation around the thermal cutout. |
| + | [* black] Note that the cutout is a 115 degree C 2 amp device. I replaced it with a Panasonic EYP-2BN110 which is available from DataAlchemy on Amazon Marketplace. |
| + | [* black] Clip the old unit out and melt a blob of solder on the wires that stick out. Then clip short the leads of the new thermal cutout so that they just reach the exposed wires. |
| + | [* black] Hold the thermal cutout as far away from the device as possible with needle-nose pliers as a heatsink so that the soldering iron doesn't blow the fuse and quickly solder the fuse in place. |
| + | [* black] Now thread a bit of electrical insulation around the cutout to cover the exposed wires. Do not use more than a layer or the cutout may not operate when it is needed. |
