Thermal Fuse
The thermal fuse is a one-time safety device located on the blower housing. If the exhaust ducting becomes restricted, the resultant heat build-up causes the internal chemical link to melt, permanently opening the circuit to the motor. Replacing this restores the continuity required for the motor to energize.

Door Switch
The door switch acts as a critical mechanical interlock within the start circuit. If the internal leaf spring or contact point fails due to repetitive mechanical stress, the control logic perceives the door as open, preventing the drive motor relay from closing. This part is a common failure point due to debris accumulation or mechanical fatigue.

Push-to-Start Switch
This is a momentary contact switch designed to send an initial pulse to the motor's start windings. Over time, the internal electrical contacts can carbonize (arc) or the plastic actuator can snap, preventing the electrical bridge from forming when the user applies pressure to the knob.
