Why is my amp fuse melting?

Why is my amp fuse melting?

Cause: If the fuse itself has not blown, but the fuse holder melted, it indicates that the fuse holder was making poor contact with the fuse. If there is significant resistance in the contact between fuse and fuse holder, a current well below the fuse rating can cause enough heat to melt an inline fuse holder.

What does the amp fuse do?
