I've never heard of a 16 amp fuse. -I guess it depends where you are. In North America, 15, 20 and 30 amp fuses are common, 40 are also used less commonly. A typical north American water heater uses 2 x 30 amp fuses or breakers.
Please write in with detail of WHERE you are in questions like this.
Fuses can last for 10 years or more because fuses don't really wear out unless perhaps they are run continuously right at the edge of blowing. The constant heat of near-high amperage (which is what blows the fuse anyway) will eventually cause it to trip at a lower amperage than when it was new. Water will corrode a fuse and cause it to blow and low voltage on a circuit feeding a motor will drive the amps up, causing a fuse to blow when it would have been ok at normal voltage (12.6-13.6 dcv). And corrosion on the fuse blades inhibits voltage.
First check what's actually serviced by that fuse, maybe you've added something that wasn't there from the beginning, pushing the draw over the allowable limit. If that still looks OK, start by disconnecting the stuff hooked up to that fuse one by one, see if that can narrow things down. If that doesn't show anything, then you have to start inspecting the wiring itself for damages.
What size is the wire? AWG 10, 600V is rated for 30 amps. Any AWG less than 6 would also be ok for a 30 amp circuit....
it would be ok in a circuit which didn't need a light bulb.
It is best to use both, then usually grounded, then double insulated is just OK.
There might be a bad fuse causing the heater to not work. Check the fuses if they are all ok you may have a bad blower motor. when you turn the heater on and no air is blowing then it is your blower motor.
Raise the hood find the heater motor tap it with a hammer. It should run.
Ok, I got the answer to this question. It seems that there is not a heater control valve in the heater hose line.
It is ok to use a fuse with a higher amperage rating and not ok to use a fuse with a smaller amperage rating why?
check the a/c clutch if wobbles it will short out system Another solution is check the owner's manual for the fuse box layout. It could be the AC fuse, or even the cigarette lighter fuse.
the hot water from the engine does not enter the heater coil placed under the dust board of the car because the water valve controlling it is not being activated. Possible cause no supply of 12 volts or the coil of the valve is already burnt out. Have it check by a professional car aircon technician. But first look up for the fuse of said control possibly you've got only a blown fuse. Try to check the fuse using visual inspection and multitester. fuses are ok
Blown fuse.
I have a 2002 Chevy SilerRado 1500 Pick up Truck, 2 wheel drive. My broblem is with the heater not coming on. I checked the fuse Box on the drivers side of the dash board label HTR/COOLING. The fuse was ok. I would like to know how to locate the Heater Core and replace it if possible. I haven't checked the thermostat. thanks in advance
if it is out check fuse if fuse is ok you will need to replace it.
If you know the fan motor is good but it will not work, first check the fuse. If the fuse is good, then it is either the fan motor switch or the resistor pack that is defective.
yes its ok to run dyed kerosene in your heater i have been doing it for at least 2 years now with no problems.
replace front heater corefront and rear have independent heater cores
