Microwave problems we fix
A microwave holds a high-voltage circuit that stays charged after the plug is pulled, so it is not a do-it-yourself appliance. Gideon has over 15 years of experience with magnetrons, diodes, door switches and control panels, and with built-in and over-the-range models that are expensive to replace.
Tell us the brand and the symptom, and we give you an estimate by phone. The price is confirmed after the diagnosis, before the repair starts.
-
Runs but does not heat
The magnetron, the high-voltage diode, the capacitor or the transformer.
-
Turntable not turning
The turntable motor, the coupler or the roller ring.
-
Sparking or arcing inside
A damaged waveguide cover, chipped paint in the cavity or metal left inside. Stop using it until it is checked.
-
Buttons do not respond, or the display is dead
The control panel membrane, the control board or a blown fuse.
-
Door won't latch, or the microwave won't start
The door switches or latch hooks: the safety interlock is doing its job.
-
Loud buzzing or humming
The magnetron, the cooling fan or the transformer.
-
Light or exhaust fan not working (over-the-range)
The bulb, the fan motor or its switch.
How a repair visit works
No surprises: you know the cost before we start.
-
1. Call or send the form
Tell us the brand and what the microwave is doing. We go over the service-call fee and an estimate by phone and book a time, often the same or next day.
-
2. Diagnosis at your home
The technician tests the microwave, explains what failed and confirms the repair price before any work begins.
-
3. The repair
Many repairs finish on the first visit. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you the lead time and schedule the return visit.

Questions about microwave repair
Is a microwave worth repairing?
Built-in and over-the-range models usually are, because replacing them means matching the cabinet or trim kit. A basic countertop unit often is not, and we tell you before you spend anything.
Can I keep using a microwave that sparks?
No. Arcing can burn through the cavity or the waveguide cover. Unplug it and book a visit.
Which brands do you repair?
