Any idea where I can buy a 10amp/110volt fuse?

Is any place open right now to buy this fuse for a chiller in the Irvine area? Thanks!

Try any auto parts store. If it's just one of those glass fuses you should be able to find a 10a fuse.

Do any of them close at 10:30pm or open 24 hours? Thanks!

Autozone is open 24hrs, the one around here is. Your Market May Vary (YMMV)

Umm...Just FYI most likely if you go to autozone to get a 10A fuse..it'll be made for a 12vDC...not 110vAC....

HD or RadioShack, bring the old fuse with you

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought a fuse rated for a certain amperage would work for any voltage. Any electricity experts out there???

www.fusesunlimited.com They have pretty much any fuse ever made, and could probably sample you one.

You need to tell use what size/shape. Got a pic or a part number?

Thanks for the responses! I'm probably going to stop by either Fry's or Radio Shack to pick one up. Hopefully it'll be a couple bucks. Thanks!

Just make sure you bring the old one with you as mentioned. Then you can just give it to a sales person and say "one of these please".

Fuses do have a voltage rating. One reason being that you don't want it to arc over when the fuse blows. A 10A 650V fuse is 3/4" in diameter and 3" long. You can buy surface mount 10A fuses for 12V that are 1/4" long. The higher voltage fuses typically have a spring to pull the broken ends apart to prevent arcing.
Anyway go to Radio Shack.
