Microwave starts but stops cooking after 10-20 seconds

GE jes1460ds3ww starts running like normal, but stops cooking at 10-20 seconds. Timer keeps running. It seems to try to start cooking again as the light will flicker but stops after a few seconds. Oven is just over a year old so out of warranty.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

01 - Door Switch

A door switch might be failing intermittently. Check each of the door switches for signs of overheating, arcing, or burning. If you don’t see any obvious signs of failure, use a multimeter to test each switch for continuity. If any of the switches is visibly damaged or only has intermittent continuity, replace it.

02 - Thermostat

If the microwave runs for a few seconds and stops the thermostat might be defective.
