Do you cook a lot of popcorn?
Do you place your food items in the center of the turntable as opposed to placing them off-center?
Both can cause repeated heating of the same spot on the turntable, which can stress it and allow it to crack.
You can buy replacement parts here.
I suggest that when you cook popcorn, place a paper plate or two upside-down under the bag and always place your food items off-center on the turntable tray.
Once you have the new parts, I would suggest at least a quick heat test. That is to heat one cup of water on high and it should boil in about 2 to 2-1/2 minutes.
If you would like to perform a more standard heat test, please see my Ask Mr. Microwave page.
If your magnetron is indeed running too hot, then it is probably dying. Sometimes - like a star - they can burn hotter right before they die.

Your magnetron is overheating, causing the magnetron thermostat to open, which kills all power to the oven until it cools back down.
Is the internal cooling fan running when you cook? Are all the air vents clear? If not, the magnetron can be destroyed.

There should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very helpful when troubleshooting & testing.

If
it stops after 22 seconds, that means the controller has detected a
problem, usually a problem with the inverter or a bad magnetron.
Due to the lethal voltages used and produced, I do not recommend that an inexperienced person work on these.

I will try and see if I can get an appliance expert to help you, as I am not an expert in this field.
