When pushing buttons for microwave it's as if starting timer. the interior light comes on but no heat or noise. Fan not running.
Door switches most likely

Does the turntable rotate? If everything but this works (except no heat), you probably have a bad door switch. Here's a discussion of what's involved in replacing it: http://www.fixya.com/support/t267796-kenmore_microwave_hood_combination_over
If the turntable does rotate, I'd suspect a more significant failure, such as the transformer, capacitor, or magnetron. If it's any of these, it's time to replace the unit.

Sounds like the problem is in the high voltage. Most common would be magnatron, capacitor and diode. For safety reasons this should be checked by a professional. Look in your owners manual because some high voltage parts have a longer warranty than 1 yr.

This is usually a bad door swithc or loose or broken door switch mount.

OK, you will need to replace the magnetron and the touch pad as well. this will fix this issue.
