Can you move the latch in the door? This is spring loaded, maybe the spring is broken

You will have to take the unit apart and see the reason. Could be a warn button or a bent part.

Does microvave button makes sound and when you start push button does the turn table moves.If yes for sound ,and no for turn table then you might have door switch which is either doesent latching or might broke.
open oven (be sure to discharge capacitors).
check its closing properly(the switch)
and use DMM to check resistance that it doesn't show OL

You have a faulty door safety interlock switch. I wish you would have searched your problem here before you spent all that money on the magnetron. I have answered this question dozens of times here at this site.

When the oven runs but doesn't heat, more often than not it is nothing more than a faulty micro switch in the door latch system. When the switch doesn't work properly, the oven doesn't know the door is closed. If the door isn't closed, the oven will not energize the magnetron. Capacitors and magnetrons are **** and expensive answers but these items are extremely tough. It is the tiny contacts in the micro switch that can not stand the repeated abuse given them when we (read me in that number too) open the oven while it is energized causing a repeated flash across the contacts.

Thanks for your question @ FixYa.com

You have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo) to get to the internal door parts.

Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I made) that demonstrates how it's done.
