Philips EL3541/15k transformer

[Maarten]

This transformer doesn't have a soldered thermal fuse, rather it's held together by a small shackle of low melt metal. In the picture, the shackle is missing.

Hi Maarten,

That is interesting, so what is the black cylindrical object that looks like there is a wire coming out of it, on its right hand side and the wire then going into the body of the transformer in Post # 5 photo?

What is the spring/contact (copper) on the base/underside of the transformer ?

So what does the shackle hold together , do you have a photo showing the shackle fitted ?

DarthGrapes, so which part did you actually manage to solder repair ?

That is interesting! I just soldered the two points that are held by the shackle. There was no sign of the shackle in the machine and it seems to be doing the trick.

Than you Lawrence, have never seen or heard of these thermal links before.
