No.

How about then after the third or fourth time it happens within a couple of weeks?

When has a blown fuse ever been covered  by a warranty?   

--- End quote ---

Quite.

Besides - if the fuse blew, how would they know the current they were measuring?  Might have been a steady state 590mA and blew when a transient hit.

This customer was measuring the current draw from a battery through a resistor.

Are you saying 590mA is fine as long as you have absolutely zero transients.

Arguably, you'd only have a warranty claim if the fuse failed to blow, and the meter or user suffered damage as a result.

Then the user who knowingly installed a 400mA fuse three or 4 times and still complains about it blowing at 590mA should probably stop using a multimeter and give up electronics all together.

PEBKAC.

(ok, it should be "PEBMAC"...  :-DMM )
