I have just done this myself and without blowing myself up.
1. Tools needed will be a torch and a philips screwdriver
2. Switch off your mains.
3. Check your mains are off
4. On the fuse itself they are two screws. One above the hager sign and one below. Unscrew these. The top screw keeps the wire in from the mains and bottom screw is to keep fuse screwed to the actual fuse box
5. You should be able to remove your fuse now
6. On your new fuse there will be a white piece at the back. Pull that down
7. When the fuse is removed you will see the wire which is now free and on the bottom a plug which is where your new fuse slots in.
8. Slot your new fuse on the plug and tighten the bottom screw.
9. Put your wire in place on the top of the fuse and tighten the top screw.
10. Switch your new fuse on the "on" position.
11. Put back your cover on your fuse box
12. Switch your mains back on.

If this is a B6 circuit breaker you are talking about then put the power off and remove the live wire from the top of the b6 fuse. Switch power back on and try to reset the breaker.If breaker now resets then you have a fault in your installation served by that breaker.P.S. a breaker will not reset under fault conditions.
If you have to remove to replace. then SWITCH OF MAINS.
Remove db lid and guard protecting busbar from bottom of breaker,you will now see a screw attaching breaker to busbar.Loosen sc rew and use screwdriver to pull down locking pin protuding from bottom of breaker ,tilt breaker forward and lift of busbar.

Freezer is plugged in but not getting power to turn freezer on. How do I test it to find out why

Hello, Blchriste -

Check to make sure the fuse or circuit breaker for the freezer has not blown for flipped off. If the fuse is blown replace it with a new one. If you have circuit breakers and the breaker for the freezer has flipped off, switch the circuit breaker back on.

Best wishes.

Can this oven come back to life? its been in storage for a year. when recently plugged in, clock lit, but bake , and other roasting commands wont. Did it disprogram itself?

most older ovens will not operate properly unless the time has been set correctly to present time.
Nothing Works, or the Oven / Range / Stovetop Works Only At Certain Times:
1.Home breaker flipped or the fuse blown?Possibly an electrical surge has flipped the breaker. Check your breaker or fuse box and replace or reset as necessary.
2.Power cord plugged in?Grab the plug and wiggle to determine a good connection.
3.Power cord damage?Damaged rubber with wires showing through or the wire is being pinched can cause issues. Electrical tape is acceptable for covering damaged wires.
4.Aclicking sound could be something wrong with a relay. Check for any loose connections around the main control board on your oven. The click you hear is a relay losing power and switching back on. If the clock resets then something is causing power interruptions to the board.
5.
6.Even a bad relay door switch will hinder your oven from operating.

If your oven has internal fuses, a wiring or component problem could have caused a fuse to blow. A blown fuse is an indication that a component has shorted or failed, and the problem will need to be corrected. Most ovens that use fuses will have an indication of the circuits that are affected by a particular fuse. If an oven fuse has blown, then you should inspect the oven element and the associated wiring to determine the cause before replacing the fuse.

Vw passat B6 sidelights not working but bulbs ok

There could be a few reasons why the LED bulbs and the standard bulbs are not functioning properly in your Passat B6 estate:
  1. The LED bulbs you installed may be incompatible with the car's electrical system. Make sure you are using LED bulbs that are specifically designed for use in your car and that they are compatible with the car's electrical system.
  2. There may be an issue with the car's wiring or electrical system. Check the wiring to the headlights to make sure there are no loose connections or damaged wires.
  3. The car's fuse for the headlights may be blown. Check the fuse and replace it if necessary.
  4. The car's headlight switch may be faulty. Try replacing the switch to see if that fixes the problem.

Good Morning. The downstairs lights are not working.I checked the fuse box[Hager]and the fuse swich was off for the lights,i flicked this back on thinking lights would come back on [apart from supposed...

I assume you mean circuit breaker when you say fuse. If you reset the breaker to "on" and the lights still don't work, look for a GFI outlet somewhere in the circuit. It could be tripped which will shut off the current downstream from it if it is set up to guard the downstream circuit.

I found the fix a year ago but now cant remember how to fix this. My Medion desk top wont recognize the photo card drives. It was something like turn off CPU, turn off switch in back, hold down front...

Problem fixed. Shut down the CPU, then flip the switch on the back tothe off position. While in the off position, push in on the power button on the front as if you wanted to start it up. Leave it pushed in for several seconds. Then release, turn back switch back to on, and THEN fire up the CPU. Icons for card reader should be restored.

Amana dryer

Check your fuses or breaker. An electric dryer requires 240 volts to operate. In a fuse box system, 2-30 amp fuses are required for an electric dryer to operate. If 1 fuse is blown it will not start or heat depending on which fuse is blown.
In a breaker system the breaker can trip and sometimes look ok. Find your 30 amp dryer breaker and reset it by flipping the lever to off, then back on.
If this doesn't help, you may have a faulty door switch or maybe your door has loosened from the hinges and has sagged a bit, breaking contact with the door switch plunger.
If you can locate the door switch, push on the plunger... you should hear an audible click...if you do then the door switch is normally ok, but not always, it is just a simple test to rule a bad switch which is normally silent if it is faulty.
You may want to inspect for a burned wire or wire termination.
Make sure dryer is unplugged from the power source before inspecting!!!
Other than the previous instructions, it is difficult for a novice to diagnose the problem...call a technician in to fix your dryer.
1 more thing, Just because a breaker appears to be on, and/or you flipped it off then on, doesn't mean the breaker is ok. Fuses also can look good and be bad. A small volt-ohm meter($10.00) is a good investment for testing voltage, and to save time and money.

Hope this gets you up and running.
