It was evidently ceramic, but the color wasn't white. It was a sort of
tan or beige. I'm kind of color blind so I'm not good with colors, but
it was definitely not white.


Then you need to replace it with a ceramic fuse. they are designed
to prevent a ball of plasma from forming and continuing to arc. Using a
regular glass fuse in its place is a liability issue.
