    Question about a fuse from an electric fireplace

    I am trying to fix my sisters electric fireplace (you know the ones with fake flames). It gets no power whatsoever! I removed the main board and I seen a fuse that says "T2A 250V" on it. Its the kind that solders into the board. My question is this: Is this a slow blow fuse? I would imagine it is due to it being in a heater but I needed to be sure before I order some from Amazon. Thanks for any info. Pics attached.

          find out why it blew first

              You can replace that fuse with a copper fuse. If you don't already have another fuse, check why it burned out, it was an overload that happened after the replacement itself.

                  A funny fuse story – Lumix LX100 II
                  by corrize
                  Hello, I disassembled this dead camera, and found this WTF… Two fuses soldered one above the other !
                  I was pretty sure nobody touched it before, but that can't be from factory. There is flux, and capacitor is probably missing.
                  The other weird thing : the fuses are « G » fuse : (0.75A – 8V), seems very low. The original fuse should be « O » : (32V 2,5A).
                  There is « O » mark beside. All fuses have the same mark letter on main board. So, I can deduce it's a « O » fuse.
                  And this correspond to the issus I saw : when I plug the battery, I measure the voltage dropping...

                  Samsung UE46ES8000 Blown fuse but no other signs of short
                  by jesterace
                  Hi I wonder if anyone might be able to steer me in the right direction. I have this Samsung UE46ES8000 TV and it went bang during use. The main fuse on the PSU board is open. I've checked every diode/mosfet/transistor I can see and nothing appears to be short to cause the fuse to go. The DC output of the bridge rectifier is not short either. I've seen online that some of these models are known for having their PFC mosfet or other mosfets shorting and blowing the fuse but i'm not seeing that here. If anyone aware of these models having any issues to cause this? I'm reluctant to just replace the...

                  Help replacing fuse on my Mimaki CJV300-160 vinyl printer
                  by jshhh
                  Hi guys,

                  I'm inexperienced with electronics repairs, I've done a little bit of soldering caps and whatnot, but i have a blown fuse on this mimaki printer I got which I have bought a replacement for.

                  How do I remove this type of fuse (see picture)...it kinda looks like it would pull out of that bracket but it didn't come at first pull and I didn't want to brute force it incase it's soldered on there like most of the rest of the components.

                  Anybody know how to remove this type of fuse?

                  (The fuse is toward the bottom of the image labeled F2)...

                  Argon SA1 audio amplifier power-supply - fuse blown after fixing the short?
                  by Babbar
                  I found a project in the electronics trash yesterday. A nice Argon SA1 audio amp with some electrical issue. Took it apart and saw that the 4A250V fuse was blown so started lifting components to find the short. Eventually got to two MOSFETs (model FTA14N50C) that are shorted and when i took them out the short was gone.

                  Now i didn't have any replacements of the same model of course but i found a couple with pretty similar spec i thought (K10A60D & K12A50D) and put them in. Also replaced the blown fuse with a 3.5A250V one. Checked another time for short circuit and plugged it in....

                  Matsui 175S microwave fuse replacement
                  by drykid
                  Hi,

                  I recently picked up a used Matsui 175S microwave that was powering up (starts, turntable rotates) but not heating. From looking online the most likely culprit was the fuse, but unfortunately in this one the fuse had heated up and fused with the (badly designed) fuse holder and couldn't be removed. I guess this might indicate further issues beyond the fuse itself but at this stage I just want to replace the fuse and see how I go from there.

                  Anyway since I couldn't get out the fuse itself the easiest fix was to replace the fuse holder assembly that runs between the...
