Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Sharp Televisions to model category.
Seems easy enough, but please watch your husband and keep him away from the internal capacitor. The bulb is at the front upper part of the case. You just need to slide the cover back a couple of inches.
Turntable fix if you ever need it.
I typically find it is not door hinge issues but door switch issues, especially with sharp. You may heve a little movenent in the door hinge and that is allowing the door hook to move up and down on the plunger for a door switch that is probably a bit melted due to bad connections. If you check the door switches and look for any browning around the terminals where the wires push onto the switch you will probably find an overheated connectoion. Replace the bad switch and run better wires and better termninals to the new switch and it will probably be fine.
Don't waste your money on unnecessary sources and unwanted repairs. Get this manual online under $10-15 and get complete guide on whether to repair or not, service it, and how to repair etc

It's usually just the switch, and also be sure the damper door is not bent or blocked.

Just replace the fuse Brother. No harm done. BUT, keep it away from your wife. Maybe she's thinking doubling the voltage would make it twice as fast. NOPE!!!
I'd try to unplug for a while. Could be a bad power cord for the microwave itself. I recently had a toaster problem. Bad wire right at the departure from the plug.
This
is a problem in one of the damper-related components, most likely the
switch, but it may also be the motor or the damper door.
The
damper is a door inside that opens or closes depending on cooking mode.
If the controller senses that the door is not in the right position, it
will shut down the cook cycle.
Sharp models stop after
59 seconds.
See the attached sample
photo for a typical damper assembly.
