Where to buy a fuse

I need to buy a particular type of fuse (for the inside of a bluray player). It is, for full information, a 15 amp ceramic fuse (20mm x 5mm) 240 volts (or thereabouts).
Does anyone know where I might buy one on the Island? I tried ChinaTown and looked in Superbarato at Matorral.

I’m not sure, but what about Ideal or Electron ?, or maybe the Botique up in the industrial estate in PdR ?

Try Dielca - on the same industrial estate as Ideal, next road back - the down road - and it is on the last block on the right as far as I remember ... All things electrical in there. Can you take a photo of it to show them what you need/

Ferreteria la Hondura in Caleta should stock fuses like this. I would also ask at Petrol station and visit Electron/Ideal as suggested by Can.
Hard to believe that Blu-ray player would pull 15A from the socket.

Just crossed my mind, if you need the fuse urgently, look around the house for a spare UK (extension?) lead. Most of them contain a 13 amp fuse.

After washing the car forgot to pick up the fuse drove away and a few minutes later heard the fuse roll and disappear never to be seen again.

Yes, I think I will do that. The fuse was 15amp from INSIDE the machine, so a 13amp should blow quicker (?) - why would they put a larger capacity fuse inside? I think a standard fuse may be a tad big though.

But if it will blow the fuse (again - I guess) than there's something seriously wrong with the player. 13-16A breakers are usually serving multiple sockets around the house.

I have just come across a mixed pack of fuses in my shed.1 of each 13,10,5and 1amp, must have brought them over at some point {Tesco Label} your welcome to them if you want them.
To me drinking responsibly means do not spill it.

Thanks, but I found a fuse and as I thought it is a little too big. i think what I need is 20mm x 5mm - a standard UK fuse is 25mm x 6mm
