how can I stop a fuse blowing?

why does the fuse blow when the washing machine and the tumble dryer are used at the same time? They are both new Hotpoint.

its an old fuse box,and I have to replace 15 amp fuse wire.The wiring, back boxes and covers are all new,do I need a new fuse box with circuit breakers?

Fuses blow when too much current is drawn - you do not say which fuse - its rating in Amps...

Either there's a fault - or the circuit is overloaded - or the fuse underrated.
