Re: Everything runs on my microwave but it will not get...
The magnetron will more than likely need replacement, one of the most expensive parts in the microwave oven. If the item is more than five years old consider a new microwave oven

Check the door safefy interlock switches before you plunk your $ down.
If you open your oven to check the contents without turning the oven off first ... the tiny switches arc and start to burn ... once they cannot make contact ... the oven doesn't know if the door is open or closed so it will not turn on the heat.
YOUR BLOWER FAN MAY HAVE QUIT AND WITHOUT THE AIR CIRCULATION IT OVERHEATIND THE INTERNALS OF IT AND UNFORTUNATELY THIS UNIT WILL COST YOU MORE TO FIX THAN GETTING A NEW ONE. RED HOT IS VERY BAD ON A MICROWAVE
I did more research along with the suggestion of an apprentice to have person to fix the microwave. I was unable to fix it myself. The microwave needs a magnetron .
power spikes are very damaging to a microwaves internal parts, it sounds like your transformer and/or magnetron are blown. if the unit is out of warranty I would recommend calling a repairman or getting a new microwave (the transformer & magnetron are expensive and dangerous to work on) also get a small single plug surge protector for the new one.
