RE: Fuse choice and safety ?

The fuse was chosen by the designer to protect the device based on some element of the design which would be stressed by input currents larger than the fuse rating.

Whether the diodes you changed out happened to be that particular weak link in the original design that set the fuse size/rating would require intimate knowledge of all aspects of the design.

To jump to conclusions about the rest of the design based on changing out some diodes sounds very very risky to me.

I advise caution here. Based on what I know now I would recommend not increasing the value of the fuse
