A fuse blew out in my house tonight. I noticed the fuse was tripped in the fuse box but when I tried to flip it back it sparks a little and trips back to the red.
I know how to pop out the cartridge that the fuse is in but I dont see an easy way to open up the cartridge. Do you replace the entire cartridge or just the fuse itself?How do you change an electrical box fuse?
you will have to repalce the entire cartridge. make sure you get the same amp rating. they do make fuses that have the insides replaceable but you usually dont see them on a residential home. take the fuse with you to replace so you can match it up lowes or a home depot can help you tomorrow good luck :0)How do you change an electrical box fuse?
I think usually you replace the cartridge. They are not very expensive just make sure you get the right amps.
The amps will be denoted by the number on the cartridge.How do you change an electrical box fuse?
A fuse is round and screws in a circuit breaker is the thing you flip back and forth. Two different things. That is why it is very important not to listen to most people on here giving advice. If you are careful you do not need to kill the main breaker (all the power) first remove the panel box face plate (thing with the door on it) angle out the breaker (snaps out) and bring to your local hardware store match amp size and NAME of breaker box! Snap the new one back in. Good luck
