Microwave Repair
Runs but doesn't heat, won't start, or sparking inside — countertop and built-in microwaves.
Microwaves get overlooked until they fully stop working. Most failures come down to one identifiable part, and we diagnose it safely — this is not a DIY-repair appliance given the voltages involved.
Typical repair range: $90–$320 · Covers most magnetron, door switch, and control board repairs.

FAQ
Microwave Repair questions, answered
My microwave runs but doesn't heat anything — what's wrong?
That's the classic sign of a failed magnetron, high-voltage diode, or capacitor. These involve high voltage even when unplugged, so this is not a DIY repair — book a visit rather than opening the case.
Is sparking inside the microwave dangerous?
Stop using it immediately. It usually means metal contact, a damaged waveguide cover, or a failing component — all things we can diagnose safely.
Do you work on both countertop and built-in (over-the-range) microwaves?
Both, including venting checks on over-the-range models and drawer-style microwaves.
Is it worth repairing an inexpensive microwave?
Depends on the part — a door switch or control board repair is often worth it; a failed magnetron on a budget model may be close to replacement cost, and we'll tell you that plainly.
