Ordered one from Sears, but size is wrong and 250v. Any place I can get the right fuse?
Testimonial: "Gonna get this. It looks right. Let you know if it works out. Thanks"
SOURCE: TV will not power on
The MZ73L is a posistor, its basically 2 thermal resistors back to back. One is connected across the mains, the other one connects the deguassing loop to the mains. When the TV is 1st turned on the mains connected R is cold so its neighbour is cold, that allows a large surge of current into the degaussing coil. The mains connected one rapidly gets hot and heats up the other one, this increases the resistance of it and the current being dumped into the degauss coil fades away. As the 1st one is a heater it will get hot and you will see signs of heat on the PCB, BUT its still a very good place to start. The heat is normal, but if the 1st ceramic disk in it has died then you will short the mains and blow the fuse with it.
SOURCE: fuse blown
Ours is 3 years old, no longer under warrenty and we just had the same problem. I bought a package of four fuses for $2.99 at Radio Shack. As the man mentioned earlier, follow the power cord to the fuse...very easy to find. Easy fix and saved a $100 service call. TV is working great.

Well, so far so good. I reinstalled the newly repaired amp and fired it up and so far, so good. Ran it through about an hour of fairly intense break-in tracks and then ran it through about 2 dozen power up and down cycles to try to get it to fail (better now than a month from now and have to fight them on backing it up).

something blew the fuse the first time. if it blew again, the issue remains. something may be arcing. check near the plug, or if there is anything bouncing around in there or a crossed wire.
