Runs but does not heat
This could be caused by several things. One of the overn's door switches could be out of adjustment or defective. You might have a bad magnetron tube (the microwave source) or problem with its power supply. There could be a problem with the control board. I can't suggest anything you could try on your own to start isolating the trouble. Microwaves have potentially lethal voltages present with the cover off and power applied, so servicing is best handled by professionals. Given the low cost of a new one, if this is a basic countertop oven you should probably just replace it. If this is a very high-end model or a built-in, you can get a repair estimate.
