-door inter-lock switch(s) / monitor switch
-thermal cutout
-door, triac or circuit board fault

all of these could be culprit
all of these can be tested let me know if you need further instructions.

Check the following before you replace the Magnetron device.

1. Check the diode located inside the unit on the noise filter board assembly. it may be damaged.
2. Check the Magnetron Cut-Off Fuse. this will shut off the heating device if there is a fan issue.
3. Check the H.V. Capacitor for burn marks and, discolored terminal points. this will be a sign of a malfunctioning Capacitor device. replace if needed.

If all is ok with the above check list, replace the Magnetron tube.

You have burned out the magnatron (heating element) which is common on GE microwaves. most service companies will charge about 200-250 to replace it

Could the noise you are hearing be maybe an electical sparking/arcing noise? It could be that the wave guide cover inside the micromave cavity is dirty, and needs to be cleaned. If it is not, then it could be a bad magnetron crackling and going bad. If this is the case, it is likely going to damage the waveguide and render the microwave unrepairable. I wouldn't use it until you have it checked out or take it apart and check it out yourself. Hope this helps.
