Introduzione
Waffle irons are equipped with a thermal fuse that disconnect the circuit once a certain temperature is reached to ensure the appliance does not become a hazard to users. A thermal fuse is a single-use device, and once it burns out the waffle iron will not function. This guide demonstrates how to replace a burnt out thermal fuse and return the waffle iron to working order.

Won't the solder melt when you turn on the waffle iron? Duh
Yeah, I think you need to clamp or spot-weld?
This instruction should be removed!
The Thermal fuse is likely 240C which is 460F.
This is close to the melting point of solder.
The joint needs a mechanical connection.
Run-of-the-mill plastic shrink tube is in no way a replacement for woven fiberglass electrical insulating sleeves.
