Diode and magnetron are also frequent failure causes. The magnetron is easy to test with a resistance meter. Should be low ohms through and infinity to its casing. (all cables removed of course)
I believe a new magnetron was fairly expensive, and I’m not by any means good with electricity (beyond some very simple car stuff), so I didn’t even bother trying to check it. We kind of hated that microwave anyway, its beeps were so annoying.

So it quit before you could fire it then. 😁
