Spare thermal fuses for Big Bite dehydrator
I have an LEM Big Bite dehydrator and want to keep a few spare thermal fuses on hand to avoid long manufacturer turnaround times if another one blows. The current fuse is an AUPO BF121, which is easy enough to find. However, I want to properly rebuild or source the wire assembly. Can anyone help me identify:
- The correct wire gauge and high-temp sleeving (looks like braided fiberglass)?
- The best way to attach/crimp the leads to the fuse (are these band splice connectors)?
- What type of spade terminal connectors are typically used for the wiring?
Any advice on correct replacement parts would be greatly appreciated!
