This guy explains things well and does not take forever to say something . . . Good job !!

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! 👍

[Alysbar]

Do you have a video that shows how to get to the fuse if its encased in the plug? Not like the version you showed...

[jhaseglenn]

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

[hannienanniep]

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 :)

[kevinbuehler]

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.

[samiam]

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

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.

mind blown! how did i not know about this? Now to find the plug the said mystery fuse fell from! Thank you!

[genez]

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

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?

[Heraclitean]

Helpful! Exactly the info I was looking for.

[GlennBrockett]

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

[craigegan]

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

[iano]

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

[patrickstar]

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

[downhilltwofour]

I have never seen one of these in all the years I've bought many of the appliances mentioned in the vid. Is this more prevelant in other countries?

[Movie_Games]

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

[TheShospitali]

How do you fix this if the end plug is broken 💔 & the thermal fuse is built in & not removable
