EX6 Power Supply Fuse - Anyone have a source?

[John - Cactuspilot]

Looks like my power supply fuse blew. Asking Weber but they appear to be sending me an ignitor.....Went to local auto stores and no joy....anyone got a source?

yeah i figured the 5 mm x 20 mm but the fuse i pulled was a ceramic one

I don't have an EX6 but does anyone know why in their manual they make reference to 5A and 1.6A?

Do you want to rotate your fuse and post it?

It appears 1.6A @ 250 Volts and 5A @ 120 Volts.

Ehhhh just wrap foil around it and put it back

Yeah but that didn't make sense to me. I'll assume it's because of my old age and abandonment of electrical theory decades ago

I've heard .22 is also an acceptable alternative.

Yeah but if the explosion doesn’t completely rip the casing in half, current will still flow and your component may be damaged...

Where's Bubba now?

Ceramic fuses are a bit more difficult to come by, though you could replace with a 5A glass cartridge if you can find the same size. I can't tell if it's a fast or slow blow fuse. I guess I could take my Smokefire apart to find out. Let me know if you need help locating the exact fuse and I'll do just that.

i found one at ACE Airplane, Boat and BBQ Parts Supply.....although i do have a box of 22 LR in my desk...

Back up and working....although apparently Weber is sending me a new motherboard, ignitor and power supply.....reading the notes they sent

all i wanted and asked for was a new fuse.

Back up n running
