My Harman Accentra 52i keeps popping the 6A fuse when I turn the unit on. This is my first time running it this season. The fuse pops after about ten seconds. I changed it once and it popped again, so clearly something isn't right. I had a new ignitor put in last year and it worked fine for the entire season. Just had the unit professionally cleaned too and we test ran it after for a few minutes.

I read here on the forums a 7A fuse may be better. Does anyone have thoughts on this?

Thanks
 
I have always been told never to use a larger amp fuse than what's recommended. If things worked fine before with 6amp fuse there's something else wrong test your igniter first since it uses the most power with a meter and go from there
