There is no real "heater". The fan could be shorting. Is it spinning at all? Wierd noises? Burning smell? I would pull out the fan and take a look at it. May be dead.

I would never increase the size of the fuse to more than what is recommended.

It wouldnt matter anyway if u increse the rating. Its still gonna blow. Check the fans circuit. Trace the wiring if you have a diagram and make sure no wires are exposed or melted.
