The controller is not getting the correct feedback signal from the SMPS (switched-mode power supply AKA inverter).
It may be a problem with the inverter, magnetron, magnetron thermostat, controller, or thew wiring that connects them.
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.
You can see a YouTube video
here that shows you how to remove the
controller assembly from a typical over the range microwave in less than 5
minutes.
