Your photo of the melted fuel showed that one leg of the fuse had overheated, NOT the fusible link.
This was probably caused by a resistive connection in the fuseholder, to the fuse - possibly due to low contact spring pressure in the socket. This caused heating of the fuseholder and the fuse leg, causing the contact to fail completely.
Have you measured the fuse for continuity? I would put my $1 on it being continuous.


The 30A holder looks good and should not give you problems.
