You have some problem that puts a load on your landing system. This means you should be looking for a problem. Putting another fuse of higher rating doesn't address the cause, only the symptom. If your rig is new, then dirt and grime is probably not the issue. When I first got my unit, I kept popping fuses. Turned out that the grounding wire was poorly placed and by changing it to a better site, I quit having problems.

Later I added stabilizers similar to the JT type. On occasion, if I forgot to loosen them, I would blow a fuse. The fuse was doing its job, protecting the motor from my error. In any case, something is causing the problem. If it were my rig, I would want to know what is pulling an inordinate load causing the fuse to blow.
