Default Whirlpool Combi Microwave oven

Many microwave issues including the one you describe can also be the magnetron.

I'd go through those tests first. If it lost heating capacity gradually or sometimes would shut off too early, I would definitely suspect the magnetron.

The interlock switches I believe basically work where two allow power to pass and the other is across the line in an open position, so the fuse blows immediately.
