Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I was wondering where people got their fuses from? I had one blow on me the other day and have not replaced it yet. I tried Radio Shack and they do not carry them. I'm thinking Home Depot, but haven't checked yet.Any suggestions? Thanks gang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I purchased several replacement fuses (No I didn't have an amp meter at the time ) at our local ACE hardware store. They were marked as "microwave fuses" but they met the same fast blow, voltage, and amp rating as the original LOR fuses. They worked great!I even tested one of them out by blowing it too! C9 bulbs.......sheeesh.Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks gangHome Depot does carry them, they are the same ACE carries. I also purchased mine at ACE, But I also saw them at HD when I was looking around. They are called microwave fuses at HD also.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Whats the name of the fuse and how much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 The LOR manual describes them as "15A, 250V, Ceramic Fast acting".The fuse I found at Radio Shack's site is catalog 270-1040 and it's described as "15A, 250V, ABC/3AB series Ceramic Fuses" and "Ceramic Fuse for Microwave Ovens (4pk)"."ABC/3AB 15 250V" is a 15A, 250V fast-acting ceramic fuse, so that's what I'd go after. You should also find it at many hardware stores.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Man, I saw that Radio Shack and Home Depot both carried the 20A 250V fuses, but I looked at the board and it says 20A 120V fuses needed. So I figured the 250V wouldn't work.Good, well I'm glad they are there, and I will pick them up today. I appreciate your responses guys.Happy lighting!

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Make sure you select your fuse size to match your circuit breaker rating. If you're running on a 15A circuit, you should install 15A fuses. If you've upgraded your circuits to 20A (it will have a strange looking receptacle that looks like this -| | ) and you've set everything up for 20A, then of course you'll need the 20A fuses.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
