i'm no good with electronics!How do you change the fuse in a plug that has no screws?
A UK electrical plug? Most sealed ones have a little hatch on the underside; flick it up and pull out the old fuse. Don't forget to check for problems, if the new fuse blows too it indicates a fault with the appliance.How do you change the fuse in a plug that has no screws?
Simply pull the fuse out and replace it. U can look at it and see if the contacts r broken. Also they don't have screws, I bought a plastic (looks like tweezers) to pull fuses out and then I push the new one back in with my fingers. Make sure u look at the old one and see if it is a 5 or etc fuse and buy the same amp and push it in. Good luck, hope this helped. If I didn't answer it right, I would be very enlightened on what to do.How do you change the fuse in a plug that has no screws?
You probably have a plug that is moulded onto the lead. A lot of appliances come with these.
Normally there is a little flap that you can prise open with a small (electrician's) screwdriver. If you can find this and open it then the fuse will be inside and you can take it out and replace it. Always fit a new fuse the same rating as the old one.
If you cannot find the flap then you are unlucky and have one of the fully sealed plugs.They are sealed units so there is not much that you can do with them. If you are absolutely certain that the fault is the mains fuse then you'll have to cut the plug off and replace it with a new one. Plugs are still sold in most hardware shops.
If you replace the plug make sure that you connect the wires to the correct terminals.
Brown = Live (that's the terminal with the fuse attached),
blue = neutral,
green/yellow = earth (the biggest pin).
The terminals inside the new plug will have labels %26quot;L%26quot; (live) and %26quot;N%26quot; (neutral) moulded into the plastic near them.
The incoming wires must be securely clamped by the little gripper at the entrance to the plug. Only strip back enough of the insulation to enable you to connect the wires, it's not safe to have too much bare wire inside a plug.How do you change the fuse in a plug that has no screws?
Sorry, but you are going to have to do better than that, because I don't have the slightest clue what you are talking about. Plug for what?How do you change the fuse in a plug that has no screws?
I'm not sure what you are talking about either.
Some plugs have reset button(red) on them, I'm guessing this not one of those plugs.
If one of your plugs is not working maybe your circuit breaker tripped. Go to your main electric box and flip the switch to on position. You don't have to be an electrician to do this. If it doesn't go to on position push it to off position then on. If it keeps tripping you might have a short some where, and you might have get it fixed by some one who can find the problem.How do you change the fuse in a plug that has no screws?
If it is a GFCI Ground fault curcuit interupter it has a red button on it and are usually installed where water is being used nearby so if it gets wet it will trip your breaker. If so just replace it it is inexpensive to do. If not comfortable doing the work yourself you might find a friend who can help you.How do you change the fuse in a plug that has no screws?
If you are referring to a cartridge fuse with brass ends - it is important to disconnect the power to this fuse. There is a fiber/insulated fuse puller for this fuse.
Care must be taken when installing a new one since there will be an arc if the short is still attached that caused the fuse blow to start with.
Also - this type fuse is not always easy to determine if it is really blown by sight
