If your fuse box supports 20 amp fuses can you replace one current 15 amp fuse with a 20 amp fuse?
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.

How do you change from 15 amp fuse to 20 amp fuse?
The only way you can change a 15 amp to a 20 is you have to replace the 14 gauge wire going to it with a 12 gauge wire, then replace the 15 amp breaker with a 20 amp breaker. You can put a 15 amp outlet on a 20 amp circuit as long as there is more then one receptacle. A double receptacle counts as two receptacles. Steve Green Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

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.
