You have a low voltage short. Likely on the condenser wire or condenser contactor. Take pic, remove low voltage at condenser, tape wires separate and replace fuse. If fuse holds you probably need a contactor, if not, let us know!

Replace the fuse with a light bulb. You should be able to take some measurements now to find the fault.

SOURCE: rheem water heater rtg95dvn keeps blowing 3 amp fuses

Not for sure what your root cause was and I know it's a little late but I just suffered this same exact scenario on the same water heater. Storms came through, power went out, power came back on and the water heater keeps blowing the 3 amp fuses now. I removed all the cables and plugged them back in one at a time. When I plugged in the Fan Motor connector the fuses blew. Installed new fuses with the connector out, the Fan Motor was putting out 150 VDC through the connector port (on main control). I pulled the control from the unit and Q1 is visible blown and disintegrated on the control board. Obvious control design issue. I've ordered a new control and will put a surge protector on the heater now when the new control comes in. Very disappointed that this was not caught in controls testing within the manufacturers facility. New control is not very cheap. Half the cost of a new Heater. Hopefully the Fan Motor survived the high voltage with the fuses blowing. I'm putting this here for anyone else that suffers the same issue on this water heater or the Richmond equivalents as they use the same control.

Amp keeps blowing fuses
Blowing fuses, was caused by many thing.
Short of rectifier,resistor,elco,tube heater,tube pin, and also trafo itself (primary or secondary winding). It must check step by step.
CAUTION :
THIS IS HIGH VOLTAGE AREA.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK THAT CAN KILL.
DON'T DO THIS IF YOU ARE NOT TECHNICIAN OR NOT FAMILIAR WITH VACUM TUBE CIRCUIT. THE CIRCUIT MAY STILL CONTAINS ELECTRIC SHOCK EVEN IF IF THE AMP IS NOT POWER PLUGGED.

The simple steps (see picture) are:
  1. Disconnect all connection from secondary of power trafo (PLV,PDCH,PACH and PHV).
    Power ON the amp. If fuse is not blowing,trafo is good.
  2. Power OFF the amp. Unplug the cord.
    Connect PLV1-PLV2-PLV3 (this are Bias voltage,+/-15VDC and Backlight PCB voltage) to power trafo.Power ON the amp. If fuse is not blowing,PLV circuit is good.If fuse blowing,there are parts is damage (dioda,elco,7815/7915,resistor) in this PLV circuit.
  3. If step 2 is good,go to next step.
    Power OFF the amp. Unplug the cord.
    With PLV circuit stay connected,connect PDCH 1-2 and PACH 1-2 to power trafo. Power ON the amp.
    If fuse is not blowing,PDCH and PACH circuit is good and all tubes heater/filaments are lights after a few seconds.
    If fuse blowing,there are parts is damage (dioda,elco,tube heater pins) in this PDCH/PACH circuit.
  4. If step 3 is good,go to next step.
    Power OFF the amp. Unplug the cord.
    With PLV,PDCH,PACH circuit stay connected,connect PHV 1-2 to power trafo.
    Power ON the amp. CAUTION: HIGH VOLTAGE AREA is ON.
    If fuse is not blowing,PHV circuit is good.
    If fuse blowing,there are parts is damage (dioda,elco,tube pins) in this PHV circuit.

Notes:
  • Steps had to be done sequentially from 1 to 4, not upside down.
  • If tube/heater pin is short,it can't be repair. The tube must be replacing.
  • PDCH circuit is voltage for V1-2-3-4 heater/filaments.
  • PACH circuit is voltage for V5-6-7 heater/filaments.
  • Always replace fuse with same type.

Hi there We had a powercut overnight and now the ST7100 will not run. I can hit set and set the times etc but when I hit Run the screen goes blank. Any ideas greatly appreciated. thanks
Hi, when you lost power, it may have taken out a fuse to the indoor unit if this is the kind of system you have, I don't know. As far as the stat going blank when you hit run, it may be the 24 volt circuit board fuse, I would need more information on the system you have. See if your stat has batterys also.If nothing is running at all, check all breakers, fuses and so on. If you do have a split system, the indoor unit will have a circuit board where the stat wires are terminated. The fuse looks like a auto fuse, 3 to 5 amp. This may be blown. If so, replace and your back in business. Like I said, if I new what kind of unit you have, it would be very easy to trouble shoot. It may have taken out the transformer also. Just make sure all power is restored, no breakers tripped and fuses blown at the indoor unit. This should be very easy for you to take a good look at this unit. The display on the stat runs off batterys most of the time, but some are powered from the transformer. Try what I have said, as you will need to have 24 volts to the stat to fire up the unit, and if you do and the stat still goes blank, you have a faulty stat board. Keep me posted. Best of luck to you.

1 blink is ignition failure check that the gas valve is in the on position make sure you have gas at the gas valve if it is not that then its the flame sensor it could be dirty . the only way to blow a fuse on the circuit board is through the t-stat wiring ? hope this helps

you only need a common wire at the t-stat if you are using a digital t-stat.

if the fuse is blowing then this is generally indicative of a short in the low voltage wiring, isolate the wires on the thermostat and the unit ends, use an ohmmeter to verify that there is no path for continuity with no wires touching, if there is then you must pull new t-stat wire to the thermostat, (a guess would be that the green and red are shorted, by the symtoms you gave.

3amp fuse keeps burning out
Hi,

when a fuse blows, its telling you that theres a fault. this could be a loose or broken wire.
or alternatively, the fuse rating is too low. you could check the wires are tight. and also possibly try fitting a 5 amp fuse. check first that the fuse is rated correctly for the appliance. usually 3-5 or 13 Amps.
