I awoke laughing this morning -- wotta maroon I was yesterday.
Yes the WhiffCo has a fuse
Yes it is located near to the 120 vac input wires.
It is a slow-blow 10 ampere cartridge fuse
It is a 10-amp cartridge fuse with INTEGRAL axial leads soldered to the PCB
Here's a plan Stan. jam 16 gauge wires into the space between the exiting axial leads and fuse caps then solder them.
The 16-gauge wires lead to a twist lock fuse cap stuck in a hole you drilled in the panel fascia. The hole contains a twist-lock fuse receptacle. The fuse receptacle contains a 10-amp slo-blow cartridge fuse you get at home Despot.
But first comes "The Bench Test". Solder a 22 gauge bridging wire across the fuse if found open. Plugger in. Pop goes the bridge wire. You're out .006 of one cent and an hour of time. Lose nothing. 12-volt loads and a voltmeter will serve as the polygraph.
Yes my Whiffy Baby, has this fuse. That's why I awoke laughing. I must be getting old.
