Common questions

Microwave repair FAQs

Not sure if your microwave can be saved? We’ve answered some of the most common questions our technicians get in the field beyond the basics. If you still need help, just give us a call.

Can a built-in microwave be repaired without removing the cabinet?

In most cases, no. For safety and access to internal components, built-in models typically need to be removed from their enclosure before proper diagnostics or repairs can be made.

Is it dangerous to use a microwave that still runs but doesn’t heat?

Yes. A microwave that operates without heating may have a faulty magnetron, capacitor, or high-voltage diode components that store electricity and pose shock risks even when unplugged. It should be serviced professionally.

My microwave makes a loud buzzing noise when it runs. Should I be concerned?

Unusual sounds like buzzing or humming often point to issues with the magnetron or turntable motor. Continued use could damage internal components or indicate a failing power transformer.

Are parts for older microwaves still available?

It depends on the brand and model. We have access to a wide inventory of parts and suppliers, but very old or discontinued units may be more costly or difficult to repair. We’ll always advise you honestly if a replacement makes more sense.

Will repairing my microwave void the warranty?

If your microwave is still under manufacturer warranty, it’s best to check the terms. Our service does not affect expired warranties, and we provide our own 1-year warranty on parts and labor for most completed repairs.
