How Do You Replace A Blown 240V Fuse?
Fuses are used in a number of different types of appliances in your home. They prevent electrical surges from destroying your equipment. A conductor inside them will melt when there’s too much power, severing the electrical connection. They are especially valuable in households with older wiring. A 240v fuse is replaced the same basic way that fuses of other voltage levels are replaced. The process is very easy and only takes a few minutes. Open up the service panel to the malfunctioning appliance or check the back panel for the blown fuse. Some appliances have screw-in fuses with glass components that let you check very easily. Other appliances are less user-friendly, and require you to access their innards. The blown fuse will likely have broken glass or feature a blackened area similar to a scorch mark.
