ABSTRACT:
A wear resistant member is loosely disposed about a thermistor in contact with a thermistor bead such that it is between the bead and a heated fuser member and completely surrounds the components of the thermistor. The wear resistant member is in the form of a strap or tape having an opening adjacent one end through the opposite end is insertable. The inserted end is configured such that once it is inserted it can't be withdrawn through the opening. The strap is loosely supported in its operative position and can be easily removed, for example, by cutting through the strap and then withdrawing the strap from around the thermistor. Thus, a worn strap can be removed and a new one installed without discarding the thermistor and more importantly discarding the thermistor assembly.
