Sometimes the microwave will heat up and sometimes it doesn't. when the microwave completely stopped heating up it would make a loud hymming sound when turned on.There was no sparks or hesitation in the turntable before the breakdown everything seemed normal but the food remained cold .
It sounds like a failing magnetron. Sometimes they can be intermittent before they finally fail for good.
Chances are your oven has a 5-10 year warranty on the magnetron.

A loud buzz, hum, or groan is usually a shorted high voltage rectifier diode,
but a sound like gurgling into an empty
coffee mug is one symptom of a failed magnetron, and yet the mag can be bad
without that sound.
