Hello!
My electric lawnmower quit working because one of the fuse's prong is broken inside the ceramic. Would like to get a new or used one. Can't find anything on the web. Anybody can help? The fuse is 3'' long, 3/4'' wide and 3/4'' thick. It is mounted on the side of the motor.

Thank you for the suggestion! 2013-08-17 12.40.58.jpg2013-08-17 12.41.15.jpgHere are some pictures of the part. With all due respect, I doubt that NAPA has it. This is a 120VAC part. Not automotive... But I'll try on Monday. Nobody has an old electric mower that could be salvadeg for parts? By the way, model number is 60-1772-2

Yes, more a resistor than a fuse. I think it is a thermo fuse to protect the engine from overheating.

Would you know/do you know the amp rating for the fuse...?

It is not a fuse finally, it's a resistor. Rated at 30W 120VAC. Motor is 12A. Here's a link to a similar thing: Céramique de ciment résistance 30W série: 30W0.5RJ-$0.25
At .25c each I guess I'd have to buy a 100...

That is not a fuse, but a ceramic (cement) resister. 30watt 5ohms and if I remember right it has a plus or minus 5% tolerance. Try Radio Shack, or other electrical supply outlet.

Thanks to all for their help. The clue was indeed resistor. Found one on ebay for 5 bucks. Only difference being a 7 ohms instead of 5 ohms. I don't think it'll make a difference for this apllication.
