Make sure that fuse touches resistor.
I just completed a successful fuse replacement. I want to add some suggestions. As stated earlier, the fuse must touch the resistor to work correctly. The function of the fuse is to sense when too much current is passing through the resistor. I found that I could re-bend the clip which holds the fuse and resistor together to make it work with the larger fuse. I believe that the plastic case which covers the fuse + resistor is also important (it insulates the heat). It keeps the heat from the resistor from escaping the fuse. I wrapped the fuse + resistor with a strip of leather and used a zip tie to hold it all together. Some other material could be used instead of the leather.
