I have a Napoleon NPS45 pellet stove that recently stopped working. There is power to the stove but the control panel lights didn’t light up. I opened the stove up and the fuse needed to be replaced. When I looked up what fuse to purchase my complete, beginner, confusion began.
The manual simply states replace the fuse with a 5amp, 250 volt fuse. Sweet! I can do that so I went to the store and then.... my confusion began. My problem is when I try to buy one, there are all these additional letters you need to know. Please help, I have no idea which one to purchase.
Do I purchase a AGC, MTH, GMA, GMD, one that starts with an S?
Do I need a Fast Acting, Time delay or slow burn?
I was really hoping it would be simple, purchase one that says 5Amp/250Volt, or that the manual would specify what additional letters I needed to know, but it doesn’t. I copied down the letters and numbers from the current burned out fuse.
We use the pellet stove for heat so having it not running isn’t good for us long term. Thanks for your help!
