My Sharp microwave, manufactured 13 years ago this October 1st, has
suddenly stopped heating. All it does is make a VERY loud, whirring sound
when I try to use it. I say loud, because it has never sounded this way
before. The turntable still rotates, but nothing else happens. I
looked in
the manual, and it stated that should it stop heating, check the outlet,
and
the fuse, before having it serviced.

This may sound like a dumb question, but where exactly IS the fuse? The
manual neglects to tell me that. (This is a countertop model, not an
over-the-range type.)

If the manual doesn't show you the fuse it doesn't have one. They were
talking about the house. But that's strange too since fuses are obsolete.
But we're talking about an Asian translation here.

Can anyone offer any advice, other than the usual "replace it, it's
time!"?

Sorry, but it is time to replace. You can get a better, more efficient model
for less than $100.
