The usual thing that fail these is either high current load from a bound up 
or shorted blower motor or locked rotor (motor locked up by debris/bearing 
failure or whatever) which not only increases the current draw but does not 
blow any cooling air across the resistor coils.  If it is possible for an 
overheated resistor coil to sag onto the metal case of the heater and make a 
circuit that could cause fuses to blow.
