The cracked fuse elements are a rather common problem. I still don't think I 
understand why they caused your problem, but I suspect it's fixed now.

If the fuses are just corroded you can usually just twist them a bit to break 
the corrosion and that will fix it. If they keep corroding again you need to 
either fix your water leak, or put a tiny smear of grease on each end to 
exclude moisture.
