KPA500 Fuse holder frustration!

[Macy monkeys]

The end of 6 amp fuses are bucking upward towards the back panel keeping me from closing door. What is the secret? I'd love to play with this new amp but I'm stymied...

I got past the problem. I started the top and bottom door sides over the end of the fuses BEFORE pushing the fuseholder into place. To do this, the fuse holder had to be sticking out about 3/32"...

I just changed mine from 120v to 220v today and yes, they tilt up a bit,
but I had no issue closing the door.

I see you figured it out.
