My FragraMatics Vacuum blew a fuse and I had to replace it. It uses a ABC-10BC3 which is a 10amp 250v fuse.
Have I ever mentioned that the FragraMatics Vacuums are a pain to work on? 6 screws to take off the top and they use security screws? Jim Coleman’s Vacuums only have 1 and no security screw. I really do like the security screw, but 6? At least it could be 4 maybe 3?
I had to rerun the Dixmor Weep Mizer wires today. It went from the crap in the first picture to the nice and neat last picture. But during the journey I blew its fuse so I had to drive to Lowes, which is great fun!

I hate these small meter boxes. It seems like they are constantly causing problems. This is a broken fuse holder that exploded when I closed the door.

I had a Fragramatics vacuum blow its fuse (FNM-30), which is a time delay. I know that the Coleman vacuums use a breaker (not sure what kind) and not a fuse. So my question would be: could I just swap them out? I do realize that the breaker will not fit in the fuse holder (I did have that shape discovery toy as a child).
