Default microwave magnetron dead?

no shorts between magnetron contacts or ground but when plugged it
does not heat the oven contents and has loud hum
Is it dead(how to make sure) or perhaps requires say 1v higher cathode
heating voltage than what transformer supplies?

Hi,
More than magnetron. Suspect your HV source.
