The thermal fuse in a rice cooker typically has a rating between 150°C to 200°C (302°F to 392°F), depending on the specific design and safety requirements of the appliance. It's crucial to select a fuse that matches the manufacturer's specifications to ensure safety and proper functioning. Using a fuse with an incorrect rating could lead to overheating or failure to operate. Always refer to the rice cooker's manual or manufacturer guidelines for the exact value needed.

The red wire on a thermal fuse typically connects to the live terminal on an electrical device or appliance. Make sure to consult the manufacturer's instructions or a professional electrician for specific guidance on wiring the thermal fuse correctly.
The misuse of a fuse is when the wrong value of the replacement fuse is used in placement of the original value of the fuse.
You could replace it with a 3A fuse. You should never replace a fuse with one which is rated higher.
Plugs for appliances rated between about 700 watts and 3000 watts (the maximum rating of a wall socket) should be fitted with a 13-amp fuse (coloured brown).
Check fan fuse, thermal relay, fan motor. Replace as necessary.
We usually see a thermal fuse that has failed open the primary circuit to the high voltage transformer, which in turn drives the magnetron in that appliance.

Thermal fuse also known as thermal cutoff, thermal link or TCO, is a single action device that is widely used for electrical equipments against over temperature. Thermal fuse is composed of the fusible alloy with low melting point and special resin, encapsulated in a plastic or ceramic housing. Under normal operating, the fusible alloy is joined by two lead wires within the housing. When the thermal fuse senses an abnormal heat and reach a preset temperature, the fusible alloy melts and disconnects the circuit completely with the aid of the special resin.
It's possible. I'd be wary assuming this is the problem. If you can replace with an identical thermal fuse and test, I would. It is very likely you have an overheating issue, though. Clean whatever the fuse is meant to protect thoroughly. If this is in a light fixture, i would be tempted to replace with a lower energy light bulb.
Your dryer may keep blowing the thermal fuse due to a clogged vent, overheating, or a malfunctioning heating element. It is important to address the root cause to prevent further issues.
