Question:

what would make a fuse blow in a kenwood ka 995?

i replaced the old fuse after it blew and it keeps blowing when i plug it in. it calls for a 5A 125V 5mm X 20mm fuse could i replace it with a higher rated fuse? like a 6A or something, why do the new fuses keep blowing?

Answer:

You have a serious problem. Do not replace the fuse higher than what is recommended. You have an internal short in the system. The fuse blows so that it could not have more damage to the receiver. Call or email the maunfacturer and ask for the closes repair shop they authorize. Hope this will help you out.
you have a short or a messed up ground

Do NOT keep replacing a fuse that keeps blowing! There is a serious internal fault that is causing excessive current draw that dramatically overheats internal components. You are likely to be causing more damage each time you do this. The unit needs professional servicing. Using a larger fuse increases the chances of the unit catching fire.
