The thermal switch is mounted on the end plate of the electric motor, with the brushes.

Duff = defective or faulty. A relay tester can show that the relay is OK as it only draws a little current but the relay can still be faulty.thanks
ok what is an duff relay, I always associate duff with the Simpsons xD

Perfect name for American beer. Well done The Simpsons.

Here is where the "duff" relay is located
I only say this because if you bridge the relay the pump runs, so I think the contact in the relay is "gefickt".

No, fuse box overheat is a fairly common problem due to failed solder joints and loose connectors. They can be repaired if you are good with a soldering iron.nope which white connectors?
HAHA yeah the "gefickt" (in english: "fu ck ed") is absolutely brilliant ;D so you mean it help when I spray PCB Cleaner into the fuse box?
I would swap the R20 relay with one of its siblings just to see if it suddenly springs into life.nope which white connectors?
