216KR1 is a 216°C thermal fuse, rated for 15 amps at 120V, 10 amps at 250V.

If you can determine the resistances and wattage of the resistor pack, you can replace them too. If anybody has some laying around, snap and post a picture of the resistor pack markings.

On one of your earlier postings you provided a picture of the blower resistor pack and I believe it is identical to the one I have with the exception that it may have a different manufacturing date. I have taken a picture of mine but I can't seem to get it into this response. Thanks for your continuing help
