It's a switch fuse, usually 80A HRC. "800KMF" (or google "KMF switch" for some pictures and datasheets). When you see it, you'll recognise it. :)

It's a small plastic single phase switch fuse. Usually 63 or 80 amps I think, but I've never used one so can't be sure

Surprised Marvo hasn’t answered this. It’s a radio station in Cape Town.

Or there's these:
KFM Kentucky Fried Movie (movie title)
KFM Kelvin Force Microscopy
KFM Klippel-Feil Malformation
KFM Kingsway Fund Management (Hong Kong)
KFM Kidney Foundation of Michigan

Nothing electrical

Rated up to 80A but can be fitted with any lower rating fuse of the same size (22mm). Used to take the supply tails into another cable when the run is over 3m (commonly).

It's a manufacturer's code used as a generic name. For over half a century the MEM catalogue numbers for this popular style of switchfuse have been xxKMF or xxxKMF. So as Hoover came to mean vacuum cleaner, KMF is used to mean an all-insulated cartridge switchfuse.

Check the clearance between the back panel and/or terminal cover that you've removed. Look for small burn marks.

Therein lies the problem. I see no merit in further circular debate, so will bow out of this discussion.
