Is this NEW? Or did it just fail spontaneously after working for awhile? Is this just a remote control issue or is the sub dead, too? From the manual... No sound coming from subwoofer. If hookup is "SUB OUT" to LFE, check and make sure your receiver is set to Subwoofer=YES. If hookup is via speaker wire, check that the polarity of the wires is correct. Subwoofer has no power. Is the AC MAIN switch on? Check outlet; check fuse after unplugging the subwoofer. The fuse is located under the power cord receptacle. Fuse type and rating is found on the back panel.

if there is multiple jacks on the sub be sure they are hooked up correctly simple mistake if not no doubtly a simple overlooked setting on your amp good luck you will get it

It depends on what it is on, but I am seeing mention of a 1 POINT 6 (1.6) amp fuse so NO to a 15 amp fuse. Fuses are there to protect against shorts or overloads. The fix is not to put in a fuse that is 10 times bigger, or you burn out components or wiring. Fix the reason the fuse blew, normally take to an audio electronics engineer. fuse (1.6A) 120vac https://www.google.com/search?q=polk+audio+fuse ..

try eBay and buy another unit

Only if it has it's own Bluetooth button and it doesn't look like it has. https://www.crutchfield.com/S-g9i9ame4xO7/p_107SB5KIHT/Polk-Audio-SurroundBar-5000-Instant-Home-Theater.html ..

go to the hardware store and buy a cheap plug-in polarity checked for the electrical socket. If the polarity is reversed, or your ground is improper is will give you a different colored light. Polarity is easy to reverse. Shut off the main breaker box in your home and simply take the cover off the outlet and swap the two wires with the narrow and wider blades on them. Make sure the ground wire is actually grounded to something like a water pipe of connected to the house ground rod, #4 rebar, 18 inches long with a thick copper wire and brass auto batt connector will work fine... bury it deep and remember where it is in the flower bed underneath a window sill outside. If the subwoofer is near the TV, you made be getting interference from it, if the cabinet is not shielded against RF.
