I believe that it's either a 10 amp fuse or 20 amp. Check your fuses out. It should tell you.
NO! Using a larger amp fuse defeats the purpose of the fuse to protect the wiring in the circuit. This can cause a fire. Always use the correct amp fuse for that circuit.

No, you cannot replace a 10-amp fuse with a 20-amp fuse. Fuses are meant to guard your wiring and equipment by melting or 'blowing' before the wiring, itself, melts and causes a fire. It is safe to use a smaller fuse than called for, but never, ever is it safe to use a larger fuse than called for.
no you cannot, it is dangerous, you need to have a 20 amp service installed in order to do that. hope i helped
fuse number 1 is 10 amp fuse 2 is 25 amp fuse 3is 25 amp fuse 4 is a spare fuse 5 is 10 amp fuse 6 is a spare fuse 7 is 20 amp fuse 8 is 25 amp fuse 9 is 20 amp fuse 10 is 5 amp fuse 11 is 5 amp fuse 12 is a spare fuse 13 is 5 amp fuse 14 is 15 amp
no
No, you could overload the wiring and start a fire.
10 amp... in socket # 20
The purpose of a fuse it to protect the wire that goes to the load. A 15 amp fuse protects a #14 gauge wire. A 20 amp fuse protects a #12 gauge wire. To answer your question if the wire size is #12 coming from the 15 amp fuse now then it can be upped to 20 amp fuse. If it isn't then you are taking the risk of overloading the #14 wire with a 20 amp fuse. This can lead to insulation failure of the #14 wire, overheating with the possible outcome of a fire breaking out somewhere in the circuit.
No, it is not safe to replace a 20 amp fuse with a 25 amp fuse. The fuse is designed to protect the circuit from overloading, and using a higher amp fuse can lead to overheating and potential fire hazards. It is important to troubleshoot and address the underlying issue that is causing the fuse to blow rather than increasing the fuse rating.
If it is the right size, then yes. But why would you want to do that? if the slot is meant for a 20 amp fuse then most likely there will be more than 10 amps running through it and it will blow almost imediately
