What fuse do I need for my ED8525S-SBD microwave?

My DeLonghi microwave suddenly stopped working totally. I opened it up and found a small white fuse at the main incoming power point. The markings on the fuse appear to say T8A 250V. I took this to my local electrical shop and they weren't sure what to give me as replacement. They gave me a 500Mah fuse of the same physical size. I fitted this and the digital display came on which suggests that the old fuse had gone. However, as soon as I tried to start the microwave oven everything went off again - presumably blowing the new fuse. Question is - what fuse do I need to ask for at the shop and is it likely that this is the source of my problem?

Delonghi Kitchen Appliances, Microwaves Stopped Working Opened

The fuse is blowing because there is a problem with the HV circuits. You need a microwave engineer

It's an 8 amp, 250 volt fuse. That's what the 8A 250V means. Obviously, the 1/2 Amp (not amp hour as you said) fuse they gave you can't power a microwave, so it blows.
