          It's a 1A 125°C (nominal) thermal fuse, rated to fuse at 121°C +/-2°C



          Operating temperature is up to 100°C.

            Maybe it's already burned out. Can't really tell from that photo- it should measure very low resistance. Or maybe you're not making good contact because the board is coated or whatever.

            Before replacing it, consider looking for the reason why a device that is supposed never to go over 120°C, but needs costly measures to be really, really kept from going over 120°C, went over 120°C

          It is called Thermal cut-off (TCO) / Thermal fuse.



          in the "SET F3" 3 indicates that it is rated to cut off at 121+/-2 ℃, 125 ℃(nominal temperature) rated for 100 ℃. where as F indicates rated for 1A load current.

            If more than 1A passes through it. It can open too or only from temperature?

            In the original post and picture, the legs are no longer conducting and I checked inside. It has opened already. So this can occur without any obvious ambient rise in temperature. Isn't it.

          F1 indicates a fuse on the silk screen.

            Seems to be a thermofuse to me. No current noted, but 125°C.

          Follow rackandboneman's advice "Before replacing it, consider looking for the reason why a device that is supposed never to go over 120°C, but needs costly measures to be really, really kept from going over 120°C, went over 120°C" Judging by that solder job it appears to have been replaced before.

          It is called Thermal cut-off (TCO) / Thermal fuse.



          in the "SET F3" 3 indicates that it is rated to cut off at 121+/-2 ℃, 125 ℃(nominal temperature) rated for 100 ℃. where as F indicates rated for 1A load current.

            If more than 1A passes through it. It can open too or only from temperature?

            In the original post and picture, the legs are no longer conducting and I checked inside. It has opened already. So this can occur without any obvious ambient rise in temperature. Isn't it.
