According to HFT customer service: “Unfortunately, the replacement part you’re requesting for #97080 3G Oilless Hot Dog Compressor is not available and cannot be ordered separately from our manufacturer.
Harbor Freight goes on to say “here is the specifications requested:
The fuses are not standard size glass and are not available locally or online. We recommend for the fuse holder to be replaced with a standard size fuse, chassis mount fuse holder. FUSE: 250V – 3A”
Well, that means modifying the case because a regular AGC style holder won’t fit there. 13 vs 15mm hole required.
The fuse is a gdc-3.
I’m sure this fits the 97080, and probably the other 1/3 HP models.
You might also consider using a 4a breaker as on the 61615, but I can’t promise that one will fit or if it’s even available from HFT.

The inside diameter of the fuse holder cap is 6mm. I didn’t have the old fuse to measure, because somebody had replaced it with a wad of aluminum foil 🙂 I will try the GDC-3. Thank you!
