My wife complained about the microwave making crackling noises. This last time, it produced some smoke and she qucikly turned it off

I took the cover off and the plug that connects the the magnetron is charred. Still looks solid though.

There is no obvious physical damage to the diode and capacitor (doesn't mean they aren't bad.

Should I replace just the magnetron or should I replace all three.
