Rowe AMI r85 blowing fuses
« on: June 06, 2015, 07:14:04 pm »
My Rowe AMI R85 Juke Box keeps blowing out the 250a fuses.   Does anyone know what may be causing this to happen.   I will try to attach a photo of the unit that has the fuses underneath.

fuses are an intentional weak link .
passing current in excess of it rating will cause the element to open .
thereby removing power to the affected circuit and eliminating risk of further damage/fire.


the fuse(s) in question indicate what circuitry is involved.

only replace with the same type/rating as indicated .

i.e. DONT put a 20A fuse where it should be a 2 
or worse ... a bolt
