That i had never changed a fuse on a plug in my life. Washing machine went dead so boyfriend checked it, took the plug of the kettle and of i trotted to wilkinsons to buy some fuses. F*** me i didnt even know there was more than one size fuse, so i have learnt today that a kettle takes a 5amp fuse lol.
Who said you cant teach an old dog new tricks.
Mind you i only bought them i didnt change it. |

"What will happen to it with a 5amp fuse?"
If it doesn't blow immediately, it will blow at some point. In reality you need a 10A fuse, but they are not an easyilt obtained value, so 13A is acceptable and recommended |

Tis easy to work out..
If the kettle is say 2kw and your supply is 230v Then 2000w/230v gives the rating of the fuse.. in amps lol.
Honest!
Now you always round up to the next available, never down..
See.. simple maths always wins over. |

Lol yes!! You will now get the "never put a kettle in the washer" posts coming in! I am often absent minded and put things back in the wrong places - margarine in the oven, dirty cups in the fridge! |
