Common Microwave Problems
If you're experiencing any of these issues with your microwave, our skilled technicians can help diagnose and repair the problem quickly.
Microwave Not Heating
If your microwave runs but doesn't heat food, it could be due to a faulty magnetron, diode, or high voltage capacitor. Our technicians can diagnose and replace the exact component that's causing the problem.
Control Panel Not Working
When the touchpad or control panel buttons don't respond, it could indicate a problem with the membrane switch, control board, or wiring connections. We can repair or replace these components to restore functionality.
Turntable Not Spinning
If the turntable in your microwave isn't rotating, the issue could be with the motor, drive coupling, or support rollers. We'll identify the specific cause and get your turntable spinning again.
Microwave Not Turning On
When your microwave won't turn on at all, the problem could be with the door switches, fuse, transformer, or power supply. Our technicians will diagnose the issue and get your microwave working again.
Door Not Closing Properly
Problems with the door latch, spring, or hinges can prevent your microwave door from closing or sealing properly, which is a safety concern. We can repair or replace the door components to ensure safe operation.
Unusual Noises
If your microwave is making loud buzzing, grinding, or clicking sounds, it could indicate problems with the magnetron, cooling fan, turntable motor, or other internal components that need professional attention.
Sparking Inside Microwave
Sparks inside your microwave can be caused by damaged waveguides, paint chipping inside the cavity, or misaligned components. This requires immediate attention to prevent further damage or safety hazards.
Exhaust Fan Problems
For over-the-range microwaves, a non-functioning exhaust fan can allow cooking odors and smoke to linger. We repair fan motors, switches, and controls to restore proper ventilation.

Microwave Maintenance Tips
Follow these simple tips to keep your microwave running efficiently and extend its lifespan:
Clean regularly
Wipe down the interior after each use and clean thoroughly weekly with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the cavity coating.
Use microwave-safe containers
Only use containers specifically labeled as microwave-safe. Never use metal, aluminum foil, or containers with metal trim.
Cover food while heating
Use microwave-safe lids or paper towels to cover food, preventing splatters that can damage the interior and create odors.
Don't run empty
Never run your microwave without food or liquid inside, as this can damage the magnetron and other components.
Check door seals
Regularly inspect door seals for food debris or damage and clean them gently with warm, soapy water. Damaged seals should be repaired promptly.
Clean vents regularly
For over-the-range microwaves, clean the vents monthly to prevent grease buildup and maintain proper airflow and ventilation.
