Hi Mark;
Even tho the relay is used as part of the degaussing circuit, the
thermistor is still used to allow the current to go through the degaussing
coil. As the temp of the thermistor goes up, the resistance also goes too
which then limits the degaussing effect. Hence the reason why you see all
the thermistors cracked and broken and so forth.
By shorting the degaussing coil circuit via the thermistor, you would defeat
the manufactuer design and safety features. So do yourself a favor and
order five of those thermistors and keep them on hand and replace liberally.
You will have done yourself a favor as well as the customer...
