A:Answer I have the same fan, although I did not get it at Best Buy. If the fuse blows, I would not recommend cutting off the plug and replacing it with a non-fused one. While the fan would work, it could cause a potential fire hazard if the fan motor becomes overheated or jammed. This type of fuse is found in the plugs of many small appliances these days. While they can be tricky to find in your local hardware or auto store, when mine blew, I was able to find replacements in less than 5min of searching online. The specifications for this fan are 125V 5A fuse, The size is 3.6x10mm. (0.14 x 0.39in) Since many small appliances are now using this type plug, I bought a box of 10 so I'm prepared for future blow-outs. Good Luck!
