It's common that the magnetron starts to go weak after a number of years.
Also, the main capacitor in the power supply may be starting to fail.

If you are interested to know what is failing, you can take the microwave
oven over to a local service centre to find out.

From experience, once a microwave oven is more than about 4 years old, I
would not invest very much in servicing it.


Hmmmmm. Our Sharp is about 20 years old now and as far as I can tell,
works as well as the day it was bought.


yes, thats more my experience too. Many people have newness disease it
seems.
