When power applied the power plug fuse immediately blows. I have tried 3times with different fuses. This machine has worked perfectly for three years. I am not qualified to take it apart.
I would be grateful for suggestions.

Sounds as if a component, or components have gone 'short circuit' within the power supply, possibly the bridge rectifier or switching transistor. I don't know that particular model, but unless it has an external power 'brick' which could replaced, you would need to get inside the unit. That is not really something to be attempted other than by a qualified engineer. There are LETHAL voltages. inside. Good luck.

As it's an external 12V PSU on this model, you could replace it with a similarly rated one.
There are some on eBay; this is the cheapest:

If you send me your old one, I'll try to repair it, but it's probably not cost-effective with the postage.
