Probably the magnetron thingy heater gone. Suggest you don't try to fix yourself as if you bugger the interlocks or screw up the shielding thy're somewhat dangerous. They're cheap enough in the shops - probably cheaper than a replacement magnetron.

This one is a built in Neff one, so not so cheap to replace.

The RF hazard is real and the instrumentation to test magnetrons is very specialised take it to an expert or buy a cheap one and leave the expensive one on the side to pose by.
