Unit is a combination under cabinet unit. While cooking on the stove top I tried to use the Microwave and when started it make a loud crack and would no longer microwave anything. Everything else works including the convection portion.
Please advise

Probably a high voltage diode popped. To confirm, I take the outer cover off the microwave and discharge the high voltage capacitor by shorting its terminals.
I then pull the plug off the magnetron side and place it near the magnetron socket. Now turn the microwave on and push the connector on the magnetron with a chopstick or a long insulated screwdriver. If no arc when you do this this confirms a bad diode.
