Thank you! My favorite vintage style vornado fan stopped working out of nowhere. I took it apart before I saw this video (needed a good cleaning anyway) turns out it was the fuse in the plug. I’ve had this fan for 10 years and never noticed it! Thanks so much and God bless you as well!

One of my devices is fitted with a flat 2 pin plug just as described in this video. It has a built-in 10A fuse. As this fuse cannot be accessed, I decided to purchase a 3 pin UK adapter and fitted this with a 5A fuse in order to protect the 10A fuse in the original plug. Thank you for this very important tip! 👍

It'd be helpful to inform us HOW to remove the safety fuse from the plug. Considering how small this area is, I can't seem to be able to accomplish this task. I have a pretty wide variety of tools and whatnots, and I'm stumped.

Lightly pry it with a mini flat head screw driver.

This is so helpful! I thought I'd have to throw out a brand new 60 dollar fan, but now I'm just going to spend a few dollars on some new fuses :)

Thanks for this knowledge, I wasn't aware of this at all.

Thank you, sir! I never knew my vom has a continuity setting. Needed that a while back and did not know I had it.

Thank you for a perfect example of a video. This was to the point and clearly understandable.

You have to replace the plug

Hello tgere, I found this video very helpful. Becoz my Honeywell turbo fan comes with exactly same two pin fused plug & as soon as I pluged it into a three pin asaptor plug ;the fuse blew . Later on I opened the manual & found that it has got a fast blow fuse. So my question is what kind of adaptor can be used along with this kind of plug ? any suggession?

Plugged a window fan into a 240v outlet. The fuse is all black and I can't get it out.

Very appreciative

I have only ever seen these on Christmas lights. but good advice anyway.

Is there a way to convert your normal appliances so you can fuse them individually, like this one is ?

wow thx you so much for this info, what a trip finding out about this in USA domestic appliances... cause the window fan quit working, unfortunately the fuse is ok... still headed to the trash but i'll clip the cord/plug for "science"! Cheers

God bless you.you helped me with some thing that was on my mind.its still a little puzzling. But I know I'll get there

In the UK I think all plugs have fuses in them. They are made to be easily replaced though. www.interpower.com/ic/designers/designing-for-export/national-power-mains/united-kingdom-ireland.html

The first words out of his mouth literally address your observation. If you look around, you will see them.

My fan mentioned this on the box did not see it until I bought a new fan the fuse is not accessible

I also have never seen a plug like this in all my life 🤔

A power strip with circuit breaker will NOT protect a fuse in a plug! Those things are rated around 15 Amps. It will only trip around 15 Amps or more. A 5 Amp fuse in a plug will blow first. Fuses are generally faster than circuit breakers anyway so even a 15 Amp fuse in the plug will probably blow first. Even a slow blow fuse might beat a circuit breaker.

Thank you.. now how does one get this damn fuse out.. its almost fused into those damn metal clips.

I just threw a fan out the other day that stopped working.could have been a fuse? Thanks for the vid

Maybe, but fuses don't generally blow without a reason. The coils in the motor may have shorted. That's something to think about when you change the fuse.

if you find a blown fuse you may want to investigate Why.

OMG SAME FAN I SAW THE fuse replace I rememberd that mine had one and the plug looks about the exact same mines get living

My floor fan will not run turns on but gets error code E6

Thanks for sharing! Bright idea 💡🔌

This fuse is good

Having trouble finding a 5 amp fuse for my 120 volt fan power cord. When I removed old fuse it went flying who knows where. The fuse cover says 5 amp but I cannot find a fuse for power cord. Most are automotive fuses.

Here's the trick. Crush the fuse and remove the pieces with a dental pick. I've tried removing it with a 2mm screwdriver and ended up crushing the fuse...and I had to remove the pieces with a dental pick. ;-)

GOOD VIDEO ON TOPIC, TYVM. HOWEVER, HERE IS A GOLD NUGGET I PICKED UP IN THE NAVY 50 YEARS AGO: A VOM CAN SHOW GOOD, BUT IF FUSE HAS CRYSTALLIZED OR FATIGUED AND YOU TEST IT UNDER A "LOAD," IT WILL FAIL; THAT ONE DRIVES THE LAY PERSON NUTS -ex Navy Electrician.
