If a fuse is blown, you should always find out -why- before you try to do a repair.
Sometimes these fuses can pop for no obvious reason, other times is extremely obvious and potentially life-saving.
It might seem annoying if it happens to you but this is a good thing, because the fuse prevents damage to the motor from a current spike or a potential fire from overheating due to a bearing failure.
Segway into the next leading cause; bearing failure, where the part of the motor that helps the fan rotor turn smoothly and easily has broken( and now causes resistance and actually acts like a brake on the motor.) If the fan makes a rasping or a repetitive clicking sound, seems to struggle to slowly start rotating when you turn on the power and seems to quickly stop spinning when the power is turned off, this is a pretty sure sign that the bearing has failed. If you're using any fan that has any of those problems, you should stop using it because it needs to be repaired or replaced asap.
Operation of any motor with bad bearings can be dangerous because it can cause permanent damage to the motor, start a fire due to prolonged friction, or possibly an electrical fire in the fan motor winding because of excessive current. (And that's what pops a fuse) if you're thinking about repairing a fan, always check to see if the fan blade spins freely before you do anything else.
If a fan doesn't seem to work, and the fan blade doesn't turn easily or has rasp, these cheap fans aren't worth the time trouble to try to repair for most people.
If the blade turns easily and the cord and switch seem fine without any other apparent damage to the fan, it's almost certainly a blown fuse.
Some hobbyists might be tempted to just try to bypass the fuse altogether; Don't. Fuses and breakers are there to keep you from dying, not to make you buy another fan.
You can buy replacement fuses online for about 35 to 50 cents each, depending on the amperage requirements. Some fan fuses are wired in-line near the motor, so you may have to clip out the hardwired fuse. I would recommend upgrading it to a fuse holder so that you can easily replace blown fuses in the future in just a couple of seconds. Some fans have a fuse holder that is built into their plug for easy replacement, much like some Christmas lights.
Some manufacturers will even have information in their user manual about how to replace a blown fuse, or may have a service manual available online that will show you the writing diagram and exact location of the fuse. YMMV.

The price for this is great though. I use the 20" box fans with a 20 20x1 MERV11 air filter mounted to the rear of it, and it makes a very effective, and inexpensive air filter . (Some people even make 3d printed brackets)

It should basically prevent dust, and even virion from from passing while not losing much, if any, of the fans airflow.
I'm going to put one of these in every room. It'll be like the ISS lol.
I'm trying to figure out what I'll need yo do it on 24" drum fans and not have the high cfm suck the filters through the fan lol.
I have several types of fans. One I tend to use the most is the pivoting utility fan. It moves a ton of air over a narrow area and it also has 2 120v outlets built into it. ( It's this one https://a.co/d/cDx48i3 ) I got it for $60 or so on Amazon like a year ago, and it runs almost 24/7.

But on the ither end, If you have a merv 16 filter, then it'll allow aur to pass much slower, but catch everything.... everything. Lol.
And if the box fan motor doesn't stay cooled by the air flowing through the motor housing, then it's going to burn out fast.
Now, the Corsi-Rosenthal style can filter out more, while also allowing air to still flow through. It's genius.

Got it at Costco for $50 on sale. Pushes a lot of air, has a far throw, and uses about 150W on high.

I'll buy them during off season for pennies on the dollar.

I cannot believe how bad 2022 box fans are compared to my 10 year old one, the new ones seemed designed to last a year a throw away.
All my future fans will be DC motor, if you've never tried one it is 100% worth the extra dollars.

I also selected a high MERV 13 filter. Where I live I have to check the air quality index before I open the window. I use the fan and filter to blow the air into the room if the outside air is reasonably good.
You can also set up a smart plug with the fan and filter to run for X minutes before your bedtime.
