The microwave part of our oven has stopped working, though the electric
oven and grill work normally.

Will the magnetron or its control board be likely to have fuse separate
from the main fuse? Or is this most likely a failed magnetron?

It may have its own fuse so check that first. Some of the Dutch
articles mention this model has two fuses. One at least will probably
be a slow blow type to cope with the high current draw when it
switches on. Failure of fuses for no other reason than stress is
fairly common so if one has failed just replace it. If the
replacement blows then the problem is obviously elsewhere.

Is the turntable working when the microwave part should be on?

Well, it's of the type that has no turntable, but there's no sign of
life from it whatsoever. The timer doesn't count down, for example, and
no light comes on.
