You appear to be under the impression that fuses should be replaceable?
Usually this is not the case, fuses are there to prevent fire and/or
other danger if something goes wrong.
Changing the fuse will not solve the problem, since it blew for a reason.
You are supposed to throw the thing out once it is broken, not repair it. ;-)
The only situation where a replaceable fuse makes some sense is if you
have like an outlet or something to which the user can connect stuff.
But more and more the trend goes towards not providing a user
replaceable fuse because people can't be trusted to replace with the
same rating, no matter how many warnings you print on.
