A fuse is an internal safety device for your speaker. Fuse helps speakers from damage when high electricity volts come by chance. Under these circumstances, the fuse will break if the high-voltage current passes to your speakers. The speaker will not work until the fuse is replaced.

Step-by-Step Guide to Replace a Broken Speaker Fuse

Step 1: Turn Off and Unplug the Speakers

Remember that safety is always the priority! When you open the internal system, make sure your speakers should be powered off and unplugged from the electric switch. You will be safe from electric shocks if you do this.

Step 2: Find the Fuse

Usually, fuses are present at the back side of speakers, near the power cord. If you are unsuccessful in finding this, check it by yourself.

Step 3: Open the Fuse Holder

Mostly, on the outer side of the speakers, you will see a small cap named “FUSE”. To open the cap, use a Flathead screwdriver. If the fuse was inside the speaker, you will need to remove its back cover using a small screwdriver or your fingers.

Step 4: Take Out the Broken Fuse

Carefully remove the broken fuse. You must be gentle to avoid damaging anything else in the speaker.

Step 5: Get the Right Replacement Fuse

Check the fuse to see if it has any numbers or letters that identify its type. (For example, 250V 1A). Buy a fuse that has the same number. If you use the wrong fuse, it won’t control the electricity voltage.

Step 6: Insert the New Fuse

Replace the fuse at the same location as you removed from the previous one. Make sure the fuse fits properly.

Step 7: Close the Fuse Holder

If you have removed a cap from the speaker, screw it securely back into its adjacent place. Reattach the speaker’s back cover firmly after opening it.

Step 8: Plug in and Test the Speaker

Plug your speaker back into the power source and turn it on. To test if your speaker is working again, play some music.

Conclusion

It is easy to replace a speaker fuse that has broken. This can save you money. You can solve the problem in just a few moments without having to buy a new speaker or call a technician. Use the right fuse and always follow safety precautions. If the speaker doesn’t start after you change the fuse, it could be something else. You may need professional assistance.
