Common Microwave Problems We Repair
Microwaves can suffer from a variety of electrical and mechanical failures. If you're experiencing any of the following, it's time to call a professional.
Microwave Not Heating
The unit runs, the light is on, and the turntable spins, but your food remains cold. This is often a sign of a faulty magnetron or capacitor.
Turntable Not Spinning
The plate inside the microwave doesn't rotate, leading to uneven cooking. This is typically caused by a worn-out turntable motor or a broken drive coupling.
Control Panel is Unresponsive
The buttons on the touchpad do not respond, or the display is blank or garbled. This usually points to a faulty control board or membrane switch.
Sparks Inside the Microwave
Seeing sparks or flashes inside the unit during operation is a serious hazard. It can be caused by a damaged waveguide cover or paint peeling from the interior cavity.
Making Loud, Unusual Noises
Loud humming, grinding, or buzzing sounds can indicate a problem with the magnetron, the turntable motor, or the high-voltage diode.
Microwave Stops Mid-Cycle
The unit shuts off unexpectedly in the middle of a cooking cycle. This can be caused by a faulty door switch, an overheating issue, or a ventilation problem.
Exhaust Fan Not Working (Over-the-Range)
The fan on your over-the-range model doesn't clear smoke or odors from your cooktop, often due to a faulty fan motor or switch.
Door Won't Latch or Open
The microwave door doesn't close securely or is stuck shut. This is typically due to a broken door latch assembly, which is a critical safety component.

What Our Customers Are Saying
He came out after work hours, which we truly appreciated, and did an amazing job cleaning our refrigerator. It was full of dust buildup, and he took his time to thoroughly clean everything. You can tell he really cares about the quality of his work.
On top of that, when we asked if he could also take a look at our dryer, he didn’t hesitate or say no. Even though it meant staying longer than he was supposed to, he gladly did it and made sure everything was finished properly. Our dryer now looks so clean and almost brand new!
It’s rare to find someone so professional, hardworking, and willing to go the extra mile. We’re very thankful for Moses and highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable and detailed appliance service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to repair a microwave?
Yes, but only for a trained professional. Microwaves contain high-voltage capacitors that can store a lethal electrical charge even when unplugged. For your safety, always call a certified technician for repairs.
My microwave is sparking. Should I stop using it?
Absolutely. Stop using the microwave immediately and unplug it. Sparking (arcing) is a serious fire hazard and requires professional inspection.
Is it more cost-effective to repair my microwave or just buy a new one?
For high-end, built-in, or over-the-range models, a repair is almost always more cost-effective. For inexpensive countertop models, the decision depends on the cost of the repair. We provide an upfront quote to help you make an informed choice.
How long does a typical microwave repair take?
Most common repairs can be completed in a single visit, often in under an hour, as our technicians carry a wide inventory of common parts.
Do you service all brands of microwaves?
Yes, our technicians are experienced in repairing all major brands, including GE, Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sharp, KitchenAid, and more.
The light bulb burned out in my microwave. Can you replace it?
Yes, we can. While it may seem like a simple task, some microwave bulbs are in difficult-to-access locations, and we can replace them safely during a service call.
Why did my microwave suddenly stop working completely?
This could be as simple as a blown internal fuse or as complex as a failed control board. It could also be a faulty door switch, as the microwave will not operate if it doesn’t sense the door is securely closed.
Can you fix the exhaust fan on my over-the-range microwave?
Yes, we repair all components of over-the-range models, including the ventilation fans, motors, and surface lights.
