Amana Microwave will not heat

Model Number: ACO1860AS Brand: Amana Age: 1 - 5 years

My microwave looks, smells, and sounds normal but it wont heat. If i set the power to 50% i hear it hum and turn off but no heat. I checked the resistance of the capacitor and magnetron which were within spec. The diode however appears to open in both directions. It does not appear damaged in any way. Would a bad diode cause these symptoms
thanks
