How We Repair Your Microwave
Microwaves use a high-voltage magnetron circuit to heat food, protected by door interlock switches and fuses.
Safety first: Do not open the microwave cabinet. The capacitor can hold a lethal charge even when the unit is unplugged.
Common Microwave Problems We Fix
Runs but does not heat
A failed magnetron, high-voltage diode, capacitor or transformer. These parts store dangerous voltage even when unplugged.
Completely dead
A blown internal fuse, often caused by a failed door switch, or a control board fault.
Sparking inside
A damaged waveguide cover, metal in the cavity or chipped interior paint.
Turntable does not turn
A worn turntable motor or a misaligned coupler.
Keypad does not respond
A failed touchpad or control board.
Quick Checks Before You Call
These are safe for most owners and sometimes solve the problem without a visit:
- Try a different outlet and check the breaker.
- Make sure the door closes and latches fully.
- Look for food splatter or burns on the waveguide cover inside the cavity.
- Reseat the turntable on its coupler.

Should I repair or replace my microwave?
A microwave typically lasts about 7 to 10 years. If yours is well inside that range and the repair costs less than half the price of a new one, repairing usually makes sense. Near the end of its life, or when the repair costs more than half of a replacement, replacing is often the better value. We give you an honest opinion either way.
