Default Chemical vs standard glass fuses

I have an Audiovox flat panel in the shop for repair. There is an
open 7,0 amp chemical fuse


** You mean a Polyswitch - right ?

( Polyswitch = a self re-setting, polymer based PTC device )

The term "chemical fuse" is a real stinker and vary rarely used by anyone.

Can it do any
harm to replace the 7.0 amp chemical fuse with a 7.0 amp AGC type?


** Not likely.

I was under the impression that a polyswitch was a self resettable
device, sort of like a circuit breaker.


** Did you bother to read what I wrote above ?

Are you asking about a Polyswitch or not ??
