Does it happen all the time when you use the microwave with 100% power? If it does, then you don't need any troubleshooting. Just replace the magnetron. - The magnetron Part number: WB27X10017 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Parts for GE JVM1861SD002 Microwave - AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.

So far I would recommend not to do anything until it'll die completely. Gene.
