If your a registered engineer you will get more help in the combustion chamber

Have you ever had a power surge? Or have you had a power cut recently?

no power surge. just wondered what could blow the pcb fuse all of a sudden. and then a hot pcb. hmmmmmm

Lots of things can blow a fuse.

F13 most commonly caused by a burn earth on the electrode. Caused by a failed burner door seal. Caused by a lack of servicing.

Hope this helps
