The most common failure types, sorted by when they typically appear.
The mica waveguide cover (a thin cardboard-like sheet inside the cavity) protects the magnetron. Food splatters absorb microwave energy and cause arcing, burning, and eventually holes in the cover. If left unchecked, this can damage the magnetron.
Microwaves use multiple safety interlock switches that detect door closure. When a switch fails, the microwave will not start, may blow an internal fuse, or in rare cases may not stop when the door is opened.
The thermal fuse is a one-time safety device that blows when the microwave overheats, cutting all power. The microwave will be completely dead. Replacing the fuse is cheap, but the underlying overheating cause must be investigated.
