I have a screw in fusebox and the metal from the fuse stayed in the fusebox.How do I get it out.?

Answer 1

You need to pull the Main fuse out of the box. That will kill all of the fuses. Then you can take a pair of needle nose pliers and take out the piece of metal from the old fuse. Then replace the fuse and then put the Main fuse back in. If you don't feel safe doing this, you should call and electrician. Good Luck.

Have a great day!

Answer 2

I am assuming you are talking about the brass base from the fuse not unscrewing from the socket the fuse goes into. Think of it as taking out a broken light bulb but on a lamp that is still plugged in.

Get a flashlight, a skinny screwdriver, a carrot, and a skinny pliers [like a pointy needle nose one].

Turn on the flashlight so you can see what you are doing and then shut off the main power to the house so there is no electric in the broken fuse.

First step is break the carrot in half and jam one part into the broken fuse and try twisting the carrot counterclockwise to unscrew the broken fuse [I always do that with broken light bulbs to get them out of the socket]. If it starts turning and unscrews you are done. Turn the power back on.

If the carrot effort fails then try to grab a piece of the inner brass part from the fuse. If you can get a grip then twist the pliers counterclock wise to unscrew the broken fuse. If it starts turning and unscrews you are done. Turn the power back on.

If even that doesn't work then take the little screw driver and poke it into the fuse socket between the socket and the piece of brass left from the fuse and slant it away from the socket. The idea is to squish the broken off brass inward so that you can have enough sticking out that you can grab it with the pliers and do the plier twist approach.

Answer 3

First, turn off the electricity main so there's no power going into the fusebox. Then stick a cork into the fuse base and try to get it to grab on to some fragments of the fuse. When it does, unscrew the fuse base until it comes out. (Though once the power is off, you can use a pair of pliers or other tool to get the piece out.)

Answer 4

You have a fuse-stat type fuse and only trhe same amperage fuse can be put back, it is designed that way so you can't put oversize fuse in and create a hazard. look in a hardware store for the right one. 15 20 25 and so on. It may be a fusetron also.
