Sounds like the magnetron has failed. This is the component that produces the microwaves that heats the food.

The cost of the magnetron is about 95% of the cost of a microwave oven. Most people don't, for this reason, replace the magnetron, they replace the whole oven which is probably what you will end up doing.

There is a possibility that the circuit that provides power to the magnetron is faulty and you need to take it apart, find the proper electrical leads and test them with a volt meter. To do this you have to remove it from its mounting and take it apart. It is a fairly lengthy process however.

maybe your magnetro is leaky

I have a GE Spacemaker Microwave, model # JVM1650WB008

The lights work and everything runs in a normal operation, it will not heat the food. I have changed the fuse and still the same, no heat.
