Any tips for replacing the “Blue Plug” fuse after it’s mysteriously blown in a Lasko box fan?

I could hillbilly wire up a new plug to minimize the wire work, but don’t want to start a fire either.

I would also like to know how to replace the plug end after the non-replaceable fuse inside the plug is blown.

I don’t know bout you but I was able to “pop" my fan blades right off of motor. Now I’m just going to replace plug end and see if it’ll work since fixing wires didn’t help.
(Yep found fuse was blown. Why would they make the fuse non replaceable when they eventually blow? Wonder how many fans people have thrown out all because of a blown fuse??
