The fuse was not blown but was loose in its fuse holder, so maybe someone used the foil to make the fuse fit better ! I removed the foil and carefully bent fuse holder contacts (only has top contacts) down to get a good fit (contacts are still springy).

I replaced this 800mA fuse with 500mA, the rating shown for it on the plate.
