<p>Hi,</p>
<p> Not to sound mean here, but you really should never touch an expensive piece of electronic gear if you don't know about replacing fuses properly. Never replace a fuse with the wrong voltage. It irks me a little when people go around fiddling with this
nice gear and then ask for help <i>after </i>they've broken it worse. What would help is:</p>
<p>1) the name + model number</p>
<p>2) google that, and you will find info on the fuse</p>
<p>3) google the fuse rating and voltage.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I've never seen a 25A 250V fuse before (that's 6,250 Watts!) but then again I've never used a heat press before. Odds are, it was a 2.5A fuse (625) Watts. But putting in the wrong fuse (automotive especially) you could have really damaged it. Please,
first pause and ask for help next time before you open things.</p>

<b>Subject:</b> [Noisebridge-discuss] Heat press not functional, repair help needed.</font>
<div dir="ltr"> 5eat press it was perfectly functional, but some people wanted to use it recently and found that it was not heating up nor displaying the temperature.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>They removed the fuse and dropped it on the ground, breaking it. I went to buy a new fuse today. The old one had the markings F25A250V. However, I could only find a 25A 32V fuse at O' Reilly's so I went ahead and put that in. No luck and same symptoms.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I opened up the back to see if anything was visibly melted but I couldn't find anything wrong. I think the temperature controller is messed up.</div>
