Hi there,
I have exactly the same problem - strange and annoying! Did you manage to fix it?

OK above is a service manual, this should get you into the "ball park" I have given you also a DIY repair of microwaves.
Usually, the magnetron, or High Power Diode, is what fails. Anyway perform the troubleshooting steps, and you should be able to sort it out.
BE CAREFUL. Microwaves are LETHAL.

You will need to replace the magnetron. Click on the link below to view the part needed to get your Sanyo microwave oven working again:

If you are not experienced in electrical repair it may be cheaper (and safer) to just buy a brand new microwave vs. trying to repair your old one.

It sounds like the magnetron may have
either failed or is not being supplied with the extremely high
voltage required to run it. YOUR
SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT This is a job for a professional but if
you are safety clued up, here's instruction.
Make sure the !!!!any
capacitors are discharged!!!!! before attempting any sort of
repair.
Check the door interlock switches first then the high
voltage diode with either an AVO model 8 or moving coil meter on high
resistance range for short circuit, (DVM's won't show the fault!),
the capacitor can fail and go short circuit, the feed fuse on the
primary of the high voltage transformer and then finally, the
magnetron is best checked by substitution.
Hope that helps.
