Common Symptoms
What's Your Microwave Doing?
Pick the problem you're seeing. Each one links to troubleshooting guidance so you understand the likely cause before we arrive.

Runs but food stays cold? Often a magnetron, diode, or capacitor fault — we assess whether repair is worth it.
Troubleshoot thisTurntable Not Turning
Plate won't rotate? A worn turntable motor or drive coupling. A common, affordable fix on built-in units.
Troubleshoot thisWon't Start
Dead keypad or no response? We check the door switch, fuse, and control board.
Troubleshoot thisSparking Inside
Arcing or sparks are a safety concern — often a worn waveguide cover or metal contact. Stop using it and call us.
Troubleshoot thisLoud or Unusual Noise
Grinding or loud humming can mean a failing magnetron or stirrer motor. We diagnose the cause.

Keypad or touchpad failure. We test the control panel and explain whether it's worth repairing.

Honest Guidance
Repair or Replace Your Microwave?
Microwaves are where honest repair-vs-replace guidance matters most. Built-in and over-the-range microwaves are usually worth repairing because replacement requires the same model size and often a reinstall. Budget countertop microwaves are rarely worth a service call — replacement is usually cheaper. We'll tell you straight which makes sense for your situation.
The smartest call depends on your microwave’s age, brand, and the cost of the repair versus replacement. Our calculator walks you through the factors.
Not Sure What to Do?
Use our Repair vs. Replace Calculator, or talk to an appliance expert — no pressure, just a straight answer.
When repair no longer makes financial sense, we can also help you explore replacement options.

ViewQuestions & Answers
Microwave Repair FAQ
Straight answers to the questions we hear most about repairing your appliance.
Is a microwave worth repairing or should I replace it?
It depends on the type. Built-in and over-the-range microwaves are usually worth repairing because they're harder and costlier to replace. Inexpensive countertop microwaves are often cheaper to replace than to repair. We'll give you an honest assessment for your specific unit.
Do you repair built-in and over-the-range microwaves?
Yes, where applicable. We service built-in and over-the-range microwaves from major brands. For countertop models we'll help you decide whether a repair call is worth it.
My microwave is sparking — is it dangerous?
Sparking (arcing) inside a microwave is a safety concern. Stop using it immediately and call us. It's often a worn waveguide cover or metal contact that we can repair or replace.
