Same here. Just a couple weeks ago my secondary fan took out the link. From the looks of it, the link itself was none worse for the wear - no discoloring or scorching - and still very flexible.
In doing a little research on fusible links I read where the insulation of fusible links is designed to withstand the heat of the wire melting without melting itself and possibly catching fire.
I replaced the link and the fan motor (with a new Bosch). I too took it out from the bottom. I was surprised at how easy a job it was.
