I'm guessing that's JVM1870SDF04. While there's a chance it may be the magnetron, but I do suspect the high voltage transformer.
The magnetron would still be covered under warranty, but you would have to pay for the home visit ($75 avg) and the labor to replace the part ($90 avg).
T
he transformer is just over $100 here and about $165 direct from GE.
You can save about $75 in labor by taking it to the shop yourself and for their bench fee, you can get an estimate and find out if it;s the mag or the transformer.
If
so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.
