Even if the turntable isn't turning, the oven should still heat the food but it will be uneven cooking. I would suggest that the unit is not "microwaving" This is usually the high voltage capacitor, fuse or diode failure. You will need knowledge of how microwave ovens work and specialist tools to test these. If you don't, I would suggest you get a tech who does. There are extremely high voltages in microwave ovens.
if your microwave does everything you have described , and you can hear the cooling fan running as well after you press the start button , you probably have a faulty wave guide. The wave guide is also called a Magnetron Tube. It is the main part of the microwave which produces the microwave energy . If this part is not functioning it is best to replace the entire unit, rather than have it repaired .
No heat means the magnetron circuit has failed. It is the part that generates the microwaves to heat the food. Usually not worth fixing since the magnetron costs nearly as much as a new oven. To diagnose, if the oven is on, you will hear a loud buzzing sound if the magnetron is shorted.

This is due to the magnatron failing (this is the part of oven that cooks the food!) This is the most likely cause of y isssour oven not heating the food!
Magnatron needs replaced for oven to work again!
