If you had the proper size fuse installed and making good contact, why didn't the fuse blow instead of causing a meltdown ? I suspect your fan shorted and poor contact at the fuse was the actual cause...high amperage draw combined with a short and high resistance/arcing at the fuse and something is going to melt...the fuse holder. Can't prove it, but that's my opinion.
