To uprate or not uprate ?

Midi system blowing one fuse of pair on secondary of mains transformer, each fuse 2amp rating.



4 1N4002 as bridge rectifier, one gone short circuit, no other down-stream problems. Replace all 4 with 1N4002 or uprate to 4 off 2 or 3 amp diodes ?

No harm whatsoever in uprating the diodes. If you feel happier doing it, go for it.
