Hi Kerry, Could you clarify which fuse is blowing? Is it the fuse in the plug (in which case make sure it's not a 3amp fuse you are replacing it with) or is it the individual breaker on your fuse board, or is it the main RCD breaker also on the fuse board (the one that cuts the power to a vast majority of the circuits in your house) ?
Reply with the 'add answer' button and I'll see if I can help further.
