Thermo disconnect.
Thanks! I guess you refer to the second one. Is that right?
Can you measure the resistance between th terminals , disconnected from the circuit.
First one looks like a thermal fuse which melts with heat.
Second one i do not know , but could be self reseting.

Thanks for your help!
Component 1 turned out to be a termal cutoff like this one , and the second is a bimetal thermal switch like this one .
Cheers
