The first obvious question is that he is not trying to shift snow off the windscreen is he?

That can easily fuse wipers as they are not designed to move snow.

If it is not that, has he checked his manual to ensure that the fuse should be 10 amps?

He could try giving the motor a spray with WD40 in case any moisture is causing a problem.

Is anything else on the same circuit? The fault may be elsewhere.
