The fuse will not be on the circuit board.Try looking around where the door switches are, or back around the fan area.If you still can't find it, trace from the powercord coming in and follow were both wires go.

You
can find several models of Sanyo microwave manuals here. Even though
yours may not be there, there might be one close enough to help you here.

You will need to remove the top grill vent first, then you can remove the screws coming in from the top of the grille vent then that will expose a screw holding down the control panel at the top. Remove the screw and remove the control panel. The fuse is located in a little 1" fuse holder just behind the front panel near the top.
Testimonial: "That's helpful to know. Found a similar feedback, "is usually a 15 amp Cerramic fuse (white color). Appliance parts places usually carry it.thanks"
SOURCE: my microwave is completely dead, nothing works,
A microwave can be dead
for many reasons.
It
may be the fuse, which is usually located behind the
grille, on
the
floor of the oven behind the control panel, between the door switches,
or on the filter board near where the cord comes into the unit.
If
the fuse is good, it may be an open thermostat or thermal cutout (TCO)
/ thermal fuse on or near the magnetron or on top of the cavity / body
of the oven.
If it goes dead for a
while during or after cooking
then comes back on, the magnetron is probably overheating and causing
the magnetron thermostat to open.
Then when it cools, it
closes the circuit and allows power through again.
When
checking TCOs or thermostats, if it has a hood fan thermostat,
that should read
open, as opposed to the others, which should read closed.
So don't let that fool
you.
If the cavity thermostat
needs to be checked or replaced you'll need to pull the oven from the
wall.
If
so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have
two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.
If it went dead almost
immediately after pressing the Start pad, that's usually a shorted
high-voltage capacitor.
If it went dead
several seconds after pressing the Start pad, that's usually a
failing
high-voltage transformer.
If
it goes dead or blows the breaker (or GFI) when you plug it in or open
or close
the door, then there's a problem with a door switch or door switch
mount.
If it's intermittent or
random, it may be a bad
connection, usually on the control board or a loose fuse holder, or
even an intermittent fuse.
There
should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit
behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating
components.
At
our Web site, we have a video
available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
Also, we do control circuit board repairs for $39.95 in most cases, and usually it;s only $25 more when we have to replace the low voltage transformer due to a surge.
So if your board was only $56, and your board was bad, it was an economical decision.
