Seems like your high voltage transformer is not getting any voltage. Usually they will hum if getting voltage. Also, meter readings may be very innacurate near this transformer if drawing current.
You should check for missing voltage from the pc board. Sometimes re soldering the connections to this relay will fix it.

hi thanks. i nuplugged the connector from trans. going to the magnetron and turned the micro. on and took voltage reading at the conn. comeing from trans.
