The suggestion about the air being too hot around the equipment is correct. I have positioned the equipment in such a way that it is elevated above the surface, at least 10cm from it, allowing for better air circulation. However, despite this setup, the thermal fuse continues to blow.
I suspect the issue may be related to the extractor hood. The thermal fuse doesn't blow the first time the equipment is used. Over the past few weeks, I've had to replace the thermal fuse several times. Sometimes it blows after the third use, other times after the tenth, and sometimes after the sixth. The behavior seems random, but the conditions remain consistent (the extractor hood is always connected to the same circuit, and the rice cooker is suspended about 10cm above the surface).
Do you have any ideas? I'm considering purchasing some equipment to connect between the appliance and the wall plug to protect against potential issues that may be occurring more frequently (I know, sounds stupid and random decision but I don't really don't know where to look - I don't have oscilloscope).
Thank you.
