How can I fix my AEG Micromat combi 635 microwave which doesn't heat up?

Hi.
I have an AEG micromat combi 635 microwave.
The oven and grill still works and the microwave timer and turn table seem to be working. There are no error codes. The only problem is that the microwave doesn't heat anything up.
Any advice would be great. Do they still do spares?
Thanks.

Check the high voltage fuse, it comes from the secondary of the main transformer (the big one). It is probably enclosed in a snap fit plastic insulator case/cover. They are special fuses about 5Kv AT 800mA and longer than normal but can be bough from ebay or spares shops.

(Make sure you short out the capacitor for safety using an insulated object such as a screw driver as the cap can stay charged for a long time after power off) and obviously discconnect the mains for several hours first, dont run it without the cover on either..
