Whatever you try unplug the unit first. Could be that something worked its way into one of the safety switches on the unit. These are in the slots where the door latches .Try blowing air into them and see what happens. If you have a temperature probe something could have gotten in the socket. Could be that the unit just got to hot and blew a safety which should only be repaired by some one with knowledge of electronics and electricity especially microwaves.
