Open the unit by holding down the black bottom and pulling the silver top off.

-
Remove the beige-colored foam piece from the rollers. This is where the heating element is placed.
-
It may be hard to remove the element from the rollers because the element is tightly fastened in between the rollers.

Pull off the cover to the fuse underneath. This may also be hard because the foam material is very grippy.

You can either cut off the fuse from the wire or desolder the fuse. I chose to cut the fuse off, because I do not have tools needed to desolder.
-
Then just solder the new fuse onto the wires. You may want to make sure to have solder that can handle high temperatures, as this will go up to about 200 °C.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
