I wish we had more detail... If the magnetron is overheating due to a defect in it, or if the cooling fan is not running, or the vent is blocked, the magnetron's thermostat will interrupt all power until it cools back down (several minutes). Another way in which a magnetron can fail it gets electrically "noisy" and scrambles the controller's "brains".
It might be the cap but it is probably a bad diode. The diode if shorted to the cabinet will of course blow the fugging fuse every time. The diode should have continuity in one direction only. If the 2 leads between the mag are shorted to chassis the fuse will also blow. You have 3 suspects the diode the cap and the mag. I would replace the cheapest thing first and that would be the diode and i am correct a shitload of times. Peace brother.
This is almost certainly a blown thermistor. This device is located at the air outlet on the microwave. This is a thermally sensitive resistor that cuts power if the unit overheats for safety. It can fail because of age also. Replace with the save value unit. You can get this part from electronics stores like Radio Shack.
