Just quit heating. Seems to be louder. Fan works, rotating dish works, but no heat.

It's just as hard to explain the differences in the sounds of failing components as it is for you to discribe the sounds you're hearing, when all we have is a written medium with which to communicate.

Your problem has a high likelihood of being the power transformer or the capacitor/diode. There are tests we can walk you through to isolate the faulty component. Some of the tests are done with power applied; And it is of utmost importance that you ovserve the safety rules while doing them. The voltages inside a live microwave oven are extremely high, and will kill you or very seriously hurt you.

With this in mind, if you wist to continue, and have a multi-meter, we can begin.
