The most common fuses in multimeters are certain glass and ceramic fuses like Bussmann AGX-2, GDA-630mA, and SIBA ceramic fuses. You may also have fast-acting ceramic fuses with various milliamp ratings and we stock just about every single one! View all ceramic fuses here.

How do I know if a fuse is blown on a multimeter?
Place the multimeter on the ohmmeter setting and place the probe leads across the 2 ends of the fuse. If the reading you get is very low, a few ohms, then the fuse is continuous and, thus, good. If the reading is get is very high, such as severeal Megohms, the fuse is broken and, thus, bad, and should be replaced.
How do I use a multimeter to check fuses?
Test the fuse. If you’re using a digital multimeter set to measure resistance, touch the probes together to get an initial reading. Then put the probes on either side of the fuse and check if the reading is similar. If it is, then the fuse works properly. If you get no reading or “OL”, then the fuse has blown.
Can you test fuses with a multimeter?
What is the most common cause of a blown meter fuse?
The circumstance that will most likely cause a fuse to blow is trying to measure voltage while the multimeter lead is connected to the (amp) function.
Do multimeters go bad?
No matter what type of multimeter you own, you can probably test resistance and voltage with it. When your multimeter seems like it is not working correctly, there are a number of things you can do to test it. If your multimeter fails any of these tests it is probably defective and will need to be replaced.
