Jeezo, I HATE trashing stuff. A SHARP that old is not the junk of today.
There are TWO cartridge fuses on the circuit board inside. Some microwaves have one fuse on one side of the printed circuit board, the second fuse on the opposite side.

Is for the control circuit, clock, keypad, and light. Small amperage.
FUSE 2
Is the power fuse. Magnetron, turntable and fan. You must use absolutely the same exact rated and type fuse as a replacement here. I had a Mexican customer whose fuse blew with regularity every 6-9 months. I wired in a pushbutton resettable 15-amp breaker to replace the power fuse. I talked to Javier a few months ago. The unit is still performing RESTAURANT DUTY 19-years later.
