Also check for scorch marks on the waveguide cover. It's a little, generally rectangular sheet of mica on the right interior wall of the microwave. They can sometimes arc and burn if your microwave is dirty. You can sometimes find exact replacements online, but the cheaper option is just buying a sheet of it on Amazon and cutting it to whatever size and shape you need. I spent $4.95 to save an $80 microwave.
