Well lets first confirm you do not have any blown output Transistors fromt that critical bias diode going open on you, because that's what likely took out the fuse.

By the way when I work on the output stage of the amp I like to lower the rating of the fuse by 25 to 50 % so that it blows faster if I do something wrong or something goes south on me.

You just need to of course remember to replace it when making a full output wattage test.
