AMP FAULT HUGHES AND KETTNER QC415 IF THE COOLING FAN IS BROKEN WILL IT BLO?

AS SOON AS I SWITCH MY HUGHES AND KETTNER QC415 ON IT BLOWS A FUSE IS THIS POSSIBLY THE COOLING FAN BROKEN?
CRISPIN LUDWIG, February 2010
Cooling fans are nearly always very low power - the usual failure mode is seized bearings as the lubrication evaporates over time - usually a very long time. I have never known a fan cause a fuse to blow in any equipment but it is always possible that one might.

If the cooling fan is not working another component - the one the fan is there to cool - may have failed and be causing the fuse to pop.
