Can I use different amperage fuses for a blender?

Gyro:
As that's a standard fuse rather than a thermal one, the replacement can safely be soldered rather than crimped, reinforce the joints with adhesive lined heatshrink. It's also sometimes even possible to pull the crimped-on end caps off the ends of the existing fuse and re-fit them to a standard 20mm ceramic type (ensure that the ends are still a tight fit and again secure with heatshrink).

The (lack of) mechanical termination of that motor winding in a high vibration environment is sheer class!  ::)  Make sure that you secure the fibreglass sleeve back over the fuse and enameled wire with a cable tie to avoid shorts.

But the connection method, ie not soldered, is certainly what is needed for a thermal fuse.  Is there a possibility that an original thermal fuse has been replaced by an overcurrent one?

Being pedantic, too: thermal fuses also have a voltage and current rating.

It was oriignally in a piece of heat shrink, and zip tied to the lower part of the windings.  I had to cut it open and free it to see what it was.  Does that make a difference?  I am inclined to agree with you, that it' s an over current fuse based on what you and others have said

How about these?: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143372896014?itmmeta=01HYBS9JBDG03APSFSJ88EZMVB&hash=item2161b0c70e:g:ZRIAAOSwZi5drvXo&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8BSrQZDuEl6QMFKa1TXezlxhHaxmSQIHm3b%2F3%2BOytFZsXDcu3PB0QhuYTGQmcEvDwMSCDhNp%2BgzkqjNIIuspNeCDM7AE%2FnbmqK0GG1E0eTGHpNrSLqpRPqUEG6huMu8UMzIXfaTZcVe4zoFCgBUHBGQZBm%2BVsCvATESmwx6KfiOfVOAtnIhy3ttUQWqRQDwmwA2qE%2BDw8%2BMG2TTOwmd5r%2F1SmKLklA5lvsJilcv6JWzmW9IVyNTlQUZ5Qi4dHjJE%2BhJxiFysvMqfQqA12UNial5pdDyKu0Ue8hEeqUFMGeuluK246L9TuF%2F76exyfUKHCA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBM6KWm-fJj

Still daylight robbery but at least PCArena purchase their stock from RS, Farnell etc. so you can be more confident in genuine items...

I'm never that happy about 10mm fuses for mains use, but at least it's ceramic and the [fault] current will be limited by the resistance of the motor. You might want to buy a spare because it most likely blew due to excessive mechanical load.


P.S. Don't forget the heatshrink. Iirc, Lidl had some useful packs the other week.
