Review on 🔒 SF139E SEFUSE Cutoffs Thermal Degree: Reliable Thermal Cutoffs for Enhanced Safety by Marcus Hargrave

One day, in the middle of a recipe, my Instapot just stopped working. Completely dead. So I removed the bottom, traced the wires coming from the plug through the inside of the Instapot, and tested the voltage with a non-contact voltage tester. Of course, the hot wire was live, but when it took a strange turn, the other side went dead. It turns out that there is a thermal fuse in the circuit. After about 10 minutes I was able to cut out the blown thermal fuse, solder in a new one (with shrink wrap) and put everything back together. (As others have mentioned, be careful not to burn out from over-soldering!) 10 minutes and $6 is better than spending $150 on a new Instapot! Not to mention that not another recyclable device ends up in the landfill. It's crazy how many instapots get thrown away when they can be repaired so quickly. Anyhow, I can't verify these fuses are working properly because I didn't bother to get them up to their maximum rated temperature. But there are 5 in a pack so that might be a good idea.
