Hi Jennifer, Look for a panel, usually held to the microwave by a single screw, possibly two, either on the outside, closest to the controls, or, inside.
Either way, this panel will screw up and provide you access to the microwave fuse to facilitate easy removal and replacement of the fuse when it blows. Worse case scenario, you'll have to remove the entire housing cover, which, obviously, has more screws involved, but still easy nonetheless. Remember to unplug the thing, as you can get a nasty surprise if you touch anywhere within that microwave where current flows, I know, I've done it. Smile. Look for a cylindrical object, about an inch long, and I guess you can describe it as a capital I. The ends will have metal caps to them, and the middle will be made of some type of clear substance, possibly glass, or fibre glass. This will be the fuse, and it's the only one in there, so pull it out, and, if you have the manual, take it and the fuse along with you to the hardware store, or where ever you intend on purchasing the microwave fuse from, and let them look for the fuse number so they can give you the right fuse. I can't remember whether you said your husband was sighted or not, but if he is, he can look up that information in the manual. If he's blind, like I said, unless you've got the manual in digital format, you'll have to take it along with you to the store. Once back with the new fuse, it really doesn't matter which end is up with the fuse, you just snap it into place, place and screw the cover back on, and plug it in. If I'm not mistaken you should be able to see whether you've installed the fuse properly or not, as the microwave will not talk otherwise. Hope you get it fixed.
