Hello wrightam99, thank you for your inquiry! Often when a microwave no longer heats, it could be caused by a few reasons:

Power Supply

Plugged into GFI Outlet

Faulty Control Panel

Faulty Magnetron

Let’s try resetting the appliance by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. It is important to wait approximately ten minutes and then turn the microwave on. If resetting the power does not correct the issue, then once the tech has ruled out a number of possibilities, he or she can pinpoint the exact problem and the necessary part to fix the issue. Since parts can often be quite costly, I would personally recommend reaching out to a qualified tech who can accurately diagnose the issue your unit is experiencing.
