Frequently asked questions
Is it worth repairing a microwave?
For a basic countertop unit, replacing is often cheaper. For an over-the-range or built-in microwave, repair is often worth it.
Why is my microwave running but not heating?
Common causes are a failed high-voltage diode, capacitor or magnetron. These are high-voltage parts that only a technician should test.
Is it safe to repair a microwave myself?
No. The capacitor can hold a dangerous charge. You can clean the inside, but leave the casing closed.
Do you guarantee microwave repairs?
Yes. Repairs come with a 90-day guarantee on the parts we install and the labor. See our guarantee page.
