If the light in the cabin lights up and the plate rotates it indicates that the fuse is intact.
That only leaves the magnetron circuit to be checked. The magnetron is a device which generates microwave radiation for heating. It has has three parts :- 1) A heavy duty transformer 2) A high voltage rectifier and capacitor 3) and the magnetron.
The transformer seldom fails , and if the rectifier shorts ( which usually is at fault ) you will hear a loud buzzing sound when you switch on the microwave to heat.Since you did not complain of any buzz that leaves only the magnetron or a fuse before the transformer.The fuse would be typically of 8 to 10 Ampere rating.
