Generally, the most common causes of a failure to heat are:
- bad door switches or door switch mounts
- loose connection at the magnetron
- problem or loose conneciton on the control unit circuit board
- bad magnetron or other high voltage part

It has a problem in the high voltage which should only be repaired by an experienced technician for safety. On some models the magnatron has a longer warranty than just one year. Will have to check your manual. High voltage parts are magnatron, capacitor, diode, and transformer. If it isn't under warranty it's almost better to buy new due to repair costs on microwaves. May be worth at least having it checked by a technician.
