We had 116 deg. today and my 18 yr. old A/C quit. Turned out to be a fuse, I replaced it and it's working fine now. But I know that compressor is on borrowed time. Does it really take 60 or more amps to blow a 60A fuse? This compressor is rated at around 28A. I can't believe it'd be able to make it to 60A. Any chance these fuses just get old and weak and then blow at a lower load? How much time do I have left? I spent $13 on the fuses tonight. That's a lot easier than the $5700 estimate I have for a whole new system.
