PANASONIC TV blows fuse every two months

I have a Panasonic TV model number CT-32SC13G that blows the 6.3 amp fuse every two months. dont see any bad connections or symptoms. I suspect the thermistor. Anyone see this before?

I have the same TV and it

I have the same TV and it blew the 6.3 amp fuse as well but only once so far. But ever since it was replaced, I now have color distortion in the corners. I've tried to adjust the Geomagnetic Correction under setup with no results. Has this happened to you as well?

you have to check the caps,

you have to check the caps, special the big one for ESR.

A bad or failing thermistor

A bad or failing thermistor can cause this as well.  Since these are relatively cheap ($3-$5), I would change it.  This would also cause the discoloring described by Charlie13.

I have also seen a simple bad

I have also seen a simple bad solder connection  cause this problem, but as Dan said they are cheap so replace the thermistor.

 Found out the fuse is a 6.3

 Found out the fuse is a 6.3 volt   slow blow  fuse. Hard to find. Can get the original from Panasonic. Also change the thermistor. About the corners discoloring, make sure you plugged the thermistor socket correctly, might not be making contact, if not change the thermistor.  Tom
