FAQ
Microwave Repair questions answered
Why is my microwave running but not heating?
The usual suspects are a faulty door interlock switch, a failed high-voltage diode or capacitor, or a worn-out magnetron. These sit behind the casing, so they should be tested by a technician.
Can I open my microwave to check it?
No. A microwave contains a high-voltage capacitor that can keep a dangerous charge even when unplugged. Leave internal checks to a trained technician.
Is it worth repairing an old microwave?
It depends on the fault. Door switches, fuses, turntable motors and keypads are inexpensive to fix. If a magnetron or transformer is needed on a basic model, we will tell you how the cost compares to a new one.
Why is my microwave sparking?
Sparks usually come from metal inside the oven, a damaged waveguide cover or burnt food residue. Stop using it until it is checked, because sparking can damage the magnetron.
Do you repair grill and convection microwaves?
Yes. We handle solo, grill and convection models, including heater element and fan issues.
