Hi Allen,
Welcome to the forum.

If the fuse is burning out, there can only be two reasons.
1 - Faulty motor bearings - motor is stiff to turn
2 - Damaged wiring or connectors.

I know the motor is less than 2 years old - but...
Does the fan-drum rub on the casing?
I had this issue on my replacement fan motor.

Did the fuse just blow or did it melt the holder? Was the right size fuse in?
