Without warning, the microwave makes a loud buzzing noise when the door is opened and when trying to set times/power, auto on/off light, etc., the keys make a chirping sound when pressed. The clock can be set and works and the "nite light" works. If you set a time and "start" the microwave starts, then immediately stops, makes the buzzing noise and flips to "pause,"
Check the circuit board.

It sounds like your controller may be failing. Or it could be an electrical line problem. Any other electrical itmes giving you trouble? Has anyone measured the voltage level of your power line? It should be around 110-125 volts AC. If it's significantly lower or higher, you may have a bad connection in your breaker panel or in the wiring leading to the home.

The magnatron is shorting, overloading the high voltage transformer. From the picture this looks like an older unit and is probably not worth a magnatron replacement.

It sounds like your magnetron has failed.
I would put a cup or so of water in it and heat it for about 3 minutes.
Then check inside and see if you smell any electrical burning or other smell.
You should have a 5-year warranty on the magnetron.

My microwave was totally dead. Things I discovered: 1) There is an easily replacable fuse accessed by taking off the top front vent cover (two screws on top, gently massage off) and then the inside plastic grill. UNPLUG before doing this! 2) Pop off two wires on either end of fuse holder for safety. Then pop out fuse and replace. For more extensive help, there is an evelope with a wiring diagram inside the case on the inside wall! Very helpful when diagnosing the surface lamp problem (I forgot to plug the ballast back in when I closed up the bottom).
