If everything works on the unit, but you do not receive any heat or possibly the turntable does not turn you have a faulty magnetron (controls heat) and a faulty motor (controls turntable). You would require service on the unit, if parts are available. Some microwaves are so small in cubic foot size, that manufacturer's do not have parts available for purchase/repairs.
Key clue is table does not move---All microwaves with a table have a lever switch that is engaged when door closes--only can get at from inside the unit----it prevents the unit from operation if door not closed.
What happens from closing door a lot is the switch with a lever arm can come loose or even if snapped into a plastic holder break out of the holder.
It is one of three things, the magnetron "heats food" or the high voltage capacitor, and diode. If the magnetron is gone, cheaper to replace the microwave, as far as the other parts go, it will approach the price of a new one.
this may be another bin job, if its not heating up its likely to be the megotron,, thats one of the pricy bits that go out like a light bulb, ask if your shop sells the tester that you put into the microwave to see if its pushing out any radition at all, if its not i would bin it and get a new one, dont try fixing it yourself,,,,,,
you could kill yourself, there is well over 1000 volts floting about inside the unit, tuch the wrong bit and you grow wings prity fast, be warned
The problem is that the magnatron is not getting power. Chance is that if could be a bolwn fuse inside the unit. If the fuse don't fix it then that leaves the charging diode, capacitor or the magnatron, or high voltage xformer of which without technical epertize I would not recomend attempting to replace. good luck
This microwave probably has a serious electrical problem...a defective magnetron or rectifier. It should probably be checked by someone who is familiar with electrical repairs...there can be high voltage inside and a danger of electric shock, even when the oven is off.
