Default AC Fuses keep blowing

How would we know? We're not there!

time to call a service company, there's some serious problem that
needs a pro to diagnose. Fuses are to protect the equipment.
Replacing fuses like that destroys the equipment. Using a larger
rated fuse destroys the equipment sooner.
