It's on file for the KAN62V00AU\/03. A thermal fuse is a small one-shot safety device, so once it has blown it must be replaced rather than reset. Make sure you find what caused it to blow before fitting the new one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBosch fridge freezer icing up or running warm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn frost free fridges, a thermal fuse like this typically protects the defrost heating circuit from overheating. If the heater gets too hot, the fuse opens and breaks the circuit for good. With the defrost out of action, ice slowly builds up on the evaporator, airflow to the fresh food section gets blocked, and the fridge starts running warm even though the freezer may still feel cold. A fuse rarely blows on its own, so test the defrost heater and sensor too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Bosch part 12030450\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso listed as 00612242\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-shot thermal safety fuse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn file for the KAN62V00AU\/03\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing the thermal fuse\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the fridge and move the food to an esky or another fridge. Getting to the fuse usually means removing an inner panel, so let any ice melt away rather than chipping at it. Note how the fuse is wired and clipped in, fit the new one in exactly the same spot, and leave the fridge running for a day to check it holds temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I bypass the thermal fuse?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The fuse is there to stop a fault from overheating parts inside the fridge, and bypassing it removes that protection and creates a fire risk. Fit a new 12030450 and track down why the old one blew.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bosch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551378501710,"sku":"12030450","price":36.05,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3489\/7998\/files\/12030450-genuine-bosch-fridge-thermal-fuse.jpg?v=1792026483","url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/12030450-genuine-bosch-fridge-thermal-fuse","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
