Have a bad component on the heating coil. I assume it's a resistor, although it has a capacitor symbol on it. The numbers on it are 126 UM1 2A 250W
I've spent an hour googleing and can't find a place to buy a replacement. Used to be you could go down to radio shack and pick this kind of stuff up, but even their web site returns no results.
This picture of a thermal fuse show a symbol similar to the one you describe...

May find one on line or from a domestic appliance spares outlet.
Good luck...

Sorry, it's actually a dehydrator, and thermal fuse is most likely right. Do they have a symbol similar to half a battery on them T with a longer line above the T?
If so, any idea where I can get one? It's my stepson's favorite thing to do and hate to buy a new one when I can just solder a new fuse? in.
Thanks

It's probably not a resistor and very unlikely to be a capacitor - you don't mention the appliance type, make or model but I think it may be a thermal fuse - probably 126° C and it's probably in a toaster oven - but all this is guessing..
