Blowing fuses.

[tripstan]

So I blew a fuse before last nights gig. Normal blown fuse, pop in a spare and everything is good. Hour or 2 later the fuse explodes in the socket. What happened? Can I just put in a new fuse, power tubes and rebias? Or do I need to have it serviced?

Which fuse is blowing - the mains fuse or the tube fail fuse?

New fuse, new power tubes, re biasing.

It's the tube fail fuse. Putting in a new pair tonight.
Thanks Peter

So I went to trouble shoot today. And the amp isn't getting any power. Put in new tubes and a new fuse and nothing. Any suggestions? Or a recommendation to a tech in the US? It's a 100 watt Einstein.

Also everything looks fine inside. No burnt caps caps or filters. And both internal fuses are good.

Is there a fuse where the power cord plugs into the amp? I have no experience with the Einstein, but I assume it does.

Yup.

On the website go manuals and the doc "about fuses" please.

I'm late but thought I'd let everyone know. It was this. I feel like a totally boob. Why/how would a Diezel blow up? After looking under the hood the damn thing is built like a spaceship! The saddest part is that I think I did the exact same thing last year and posted on hear too.

Don't sweat it
