Yes it does matter it needs to be enough to allow the circuit to work, but not too much so it can prevent the circuit from over Amping, fuses are for the safety of lives, and the protection of the equipment
The best advice anyone should give you is to check the User Guide for the fridge or, if you don't have one, read the fridge's rating plate.
If this a 230 Volt standard UK fused plug on a normal under-the-counter sized fridge then a 5 Amp fuse should be ok, but don't take this as the right answer because, if it is a big wide and tall fridge (which is also a "normal" size) then it may require a 13 Amp fuse.
Normally you would just need to replace a fuse with the same size of fuse as the one which was delivered with the fridge when it was new, so an electrical engineer cannot help having to ask two more questions:
If the fridge is still within its warranty period or is not more than, say, 5 years old, it may be worth fixing. Over that age it is not usually worth the cost of repair because so many other parts inside the fridge may also start to go wrong. Then, if you have to pay to get them repaired too, it would have been wiser, when the first item went wrong, just to have bought a new fridge with a new period of warranty...
A normal fridge typically uses a 13 amp fuse in the plug. It is important to use the correct fuse to prevent damage or overheating of the appliance.

Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.The easiest way to check is to remove the plug from the wall socket, and open it. The rating will be written on the fuse and is given in Amps. Sometimes devices come with a molded plug top (no screws, can't be opened), however there will be a slot on the underside of the plug which allows you to take the fuse out.The Amp rating of a fuse in a plug is an electrical safety standard.When a fuse burns out (blows) it is usually due to an electrical fault in the device, which should be fixed before replacing the fuse.You should never replace a blown fuse with a fuse of a different Amp rating, either higher or lower.In the UK and Ireland, plug tops should always come with a fuse with a rating that suits the appliance it is attached to.Generally these ratings will be either3 amps - for small things like lamps5 amps - Also for small things.10amps - no example13amps for bigger things like the Vacuum cleaner.13 amps is the highest rating a 3 pin plug should have.As always, if in doubt, contact a registered electrician.
It is normal for the plug and cord of a roaster oven to get warm during use, but they should not become excessively hot. If you notice that the plug and cord are getting extremely hot, you should unplug the appliance immediately and contact the manufacturer for further guidance. This could indicate a safety issue that needs to be addressed.
You can plug the air conditioner into any outlet in your home, however you should get an outlet strip to protect against power surges. Yes, this HDTV plugs into a normal electrical outlet or power strip.
Yes provided the adaptor, or the plug that is plugged in, has a 13A fuse.
The fuse in a plug helps protect the appliance and prevent fires by cutting off the flow of electricity if the current exceeds a safe level. This can occur due to an electrical fault or overload. It acts as a safety device to prevent damage to the appliance and reduce the risk of electrical hazards.
A 4-amp fuse.
Generally speaking the longest part of replacing a fuse is going to the store to buy a new one.In household appliances the only fuse a user should be replacing is the one in the plug top, and this should take at most 5 minutes.Remove the plug from the wall, unscrew the center screw from the plug top and open the plug.The fuse will be clearly visible. Use a screwdriver or something small to pop out the broken fuse. Replace with a fuse of the same rating. Replace the plug cover reinsert screw and your done.It should be noted that a blown/ broken fuse is usually (but not always) indicative of a problem in your device (sometimes fuses blow for no apparent reason). If this new fuse blows within a relatively short period of time it should be taken as confirmation of a problem with the normal working of the device and an electrician should be contacted.
With normal battery voltage, pull the fuse to it, wait 10 seconds, then plug the fuse back in. The computer, with normal voltage, will "re-boot" properly.
A fuse doesn't 'power' an electrical plug. A fuse protects the load supplied by that plug.
A fuse is fitted to a plug as a safety feature.
The auxiliary plug fuse can be found in the fuse box. The location of the fuse can be found on the inside cover of the fuse box.
The fuse in a plug is designed to blow and cut off the current in a circuit before the rest of the wiring and components are damaged or burnt-out should a short-circuit occur.
No, fuse box fuses are of the screw in type. Plug in fuses are of a cartridge style that plug into the fuse holder which supports the fuse on either end of the cartridge.
In the UK, you cannot put a 5 amp fuse in a 3 amp plug. The general rule of thumb is that you should use like for like.
The fuse is a safety feature.

If you have bought a new refrigerator you can plug it in, set the temperature control to "normal" and switch it on as soon as you have unpacked it from its box or shipping materials! Before putting-in any food you should wait a few hours until the fridge has reached its normal working temperature. It should just stay cool at around a couple of degrees or so above the freezing point of water.As the thermostat switches off and on to control the system, the temperature will vary but the fridge should never freeze any of its contents. (Only deep-freeze appliances should do that.)
