I agree with above, if the entire unit was dead, then a check of the circuit breaker, the plug, and the fuse is in order, and very possibly a quick and cheap fix. However, a partial failure is another matter, IMHO, I would not repair a 6 year old unit as is is rapidly approaching it typical life expectancy. Out first MW, purchased in 1972, a Sharp Casserole, was built so well we used it for well over 25 years, with the only repair to replace the old style mica shield where the microwaves entered the unit. The units today are built cheap, with a much more limited lifetime.
BTW, that unit had features that were very advanced, a temperature probe, and a card reader to program the unit, it was also very heavy, and large compared to the units today.
