The error indicates a problem with the high voltage side of the microwave.

This is most likely 1 of 4 problems

the only problem you could check is the magnetron (this can be tested with an ohm meter-if good it should read 1 ohm or more=good , infinity=bad magnetron)

the other components I would not recommend touching unless you are experienced at repairing high voltage components. Microwaves produce dangerous amounts of voltage and can hurt or kill someone if handled improperly.

I would suggest calling a local repairman to give you an estimate. I know you are looking at over $100 at least to repair it. That may give you an idea if you want to replace it or not.
