Default 5 amp fuse in Carrier heat pump blows

I'ze be hanging in de sittee to much, massah crabbie! Yassah, dat boad, she
below ou reel guud!

Thanks for a smile. Yep, like the one I heard some years ago. Five amp fuse
lasted about a week, so he put in a thirty and figured he had six weeks use
out of it.

Mighta been a Turtle tale, one of his customers. Can't remember.

Good catch on the spelling. I'll have to get Smell Czech

Over sizing the fuse allows the board to below instead of the fuse. What a
shame.


Below?

;-]

(I know what you mean)

I went on a call one time because the customer's heat pump stopped working
and he smelled smoke. When I got there, the board was fried. He swore he
didn't touch it, but laying on the floor beside the air handler was two
empty cases od car fuses. You know. The "multi-packs" that have a 3, 5, 10,
15, and a 35 amp fuse in them? Well, I guess he ran out of the 5 amp ones
and tried all the others. The one still in the board didn't have a rating
and I was not sure of the brand, but the common name for the "fuse" is a
paper clip.

"I never touched it"

Yeah, right......
