Damn it! My stick blender gave out on me!

Time to get an industrial one!
Just ordered another $30 one from Amazon. Be here tomorrow. 😁
Other options are available, and I cant vouch for this particular model, but heavy-duty immersion blenders are sexy AF.
"Shorting a thermal fuse near motor windings is not recommended as it defeats the purpose of the fuse, which is to protect the motor from overheating.
Thermal fuses are designed to open permanently when a certain temperature is reached, preventing further damage to the motor.
If the fuse is shorted, the motor could overheat and potentially be damaged."
See my other reply about opening it up and shorting the thermal fuse.
