Plug something with an LED on it into one of the sockets and wiggle the wiring going into the fuse block. If the light is steady, then it's not a loose wire.

While you have the LED plugged in start tracing the wire(s) from the fuse block to the sockets, wiggling the wires as you go. If the LED blinks, you've found the problem.

You may have dirty fuse contacts. Pull the fuse, clean the contacts on the fuse, and re-install.

Not very likely. An "intermittent fuse" is a rarity in my experience (other than contact problems as above) and, unless you were putting a load on the sockets, heating doesn't enter the equation. But not impossible.
