Microwave Problems We Fix
Not Heating
The microwave runs but food stays cold. Usually a failed magnetron, capacitor, or diode. The the exact component and replace it on the spot.
Sparking Inside
Arcing or sparks inside the cavity are often caused by a damaged waveguide cover, worn rack support, or faulty diode. The source is identified and fixed safely.
Turntable Not Spinning
A stuck or broken turntable motor, worn coupler, or misaligned roller guide. The faulty part is replaced and even cooking restored.
Door Won’t Close / Latch
Broken door latch, misaligned hinges, or a faulty door switch prevent the microwave from starting. The door components are repaired or replaced so it seals properly.
Display Not Working
A blank or flickering display usually points to a failed control board or loose wiring. The issue is traced and full functionality restored.
Runs But Doesn’t Heat
The microwave sounds normal and the light is on, but food won’t heat. This usually means a failed high-voltage capacitor or magnetron — Fixed fast.
Over-the-Range, Countertop & Built-In Microwave Repair
The type of microwave determines the complexity and cost of the repair.
Countertop Microwave Repair
Countertop microwaves are the simplest to repair — they're portable and accessible from all sides. Average lifespan: 9 years. The most common countertop repair: door switch failure. Most microwaves have 3 door switches in series; if one fails, the microwave won't start. Door switches run $85–$130 to replace. Magnetron failures ($150–$250) are the next most common issue on countertop models, and are worth repairing on units under 5–6 years old.
Over-the-Range (OTR) Microwave Repair
Over-the-range microwaves are mounted above the range and combined with a ventilation system. Average lifespan: 10–13 years — longer than countertop because they're built to higher quality standards. OTR microwaves are worth repairing because removal and replacement requires disconnecting electrical and dealing with the exhaust duct — labor that often costs $200+ beyond the appliance price. A $150 magnetron replacement on a GE or Whirlpool OTR is always the right call versus a $400+ appliance + $200+ installation.
Built-In & Convection Microwave Repair
Built-in microwaves (installed in cabinetry, often with a trim kit) are the most expensive to replace — removing the trim kit and the unit itself can run $300–$500 in installation labor alone. This makes repair almost always cost-effective on built-in models. Convection microwave repairs are the same as standard microwaves but may also involve the convection heating element and fan motor.

Microwave Lifespan: Should You Repair or Replace?
Countertop microwaves average 9 years; over-the-range models 10–13 years. General rule: if the microwave is under 6 years old and the repair is under 50% of replacement cost, repair wins. For a countertop unit under $200 with a failed magnetron ($150+ repair), replacement may make more sense. For an over-the-range or built-in model where replacement involves installation labor ($200+), repair is almost always cheaper — even on a 10-year-old unit. The honest assessment is provided at the visit.
