Microwave Oven Repair Service

Contact your local Mr. Appliance for microwave oven repair if your are experiencing any of the following issues:

• Microwave doesn’t work: If your microwave is plugged in and the door is closed properly, the issue may be caused by a faulty door switch or electrical problem.
• Sparks inside the microwave: Also called “arcing,” sparks can occur if you put foil or utensils in the microwave. Sparking can also be caused by food splatter that ignites, a high-voltage diode short, or if a defective stirrer (from a broken fan motor or stirrer belt), which causes heat to concentrate in one area..
• Turntable is not rotating: If your turntable isn’t rotating, the carousel may need to be re-aligned on the turning mechanism. The issue may also be caused by a worn-out or split turntable drive bushing. A defective tray motor can also cause the turntable to stop rotating.
• Not heating food: If your microwave is turning on but not heating your food, and you hear a loud buzzing noise, you could have a defective magnetron, capacitor, or diode.

The Mr. Appliance team has years of experience and wealth of knowledge related to appliance maintenance and repairs. When you have questions, our team has the answer. Don’t see your question listed below? Contact your local Mr. Appliance to get answers to your appliance repair questions.

Is it worth repairing a microwave oven?

Homeowners should generally consider repairing an inoperable over-the-range (OTR) microwave if it's less than five years old, under warranty, or up to eight years old with an original cost of over $500, which is common for premium models or convection microwaves. Replacement costs should factor in installation, especially for ventilation or electrical adaptations. Countertop microwaves, which are inexpensive and easy to replace, often don't justify a repair.

What can cause a microwave to stop working?

The microwave might lack electrical power, such as if it has become unplugged or the power circuit has tripped the breaker. The unit’s settings, such as activating safety or lock mode or warm or low power levels, may have inadvertently been changed. Some models have a timer or delayed start function that triggers cooking cycles, which could prevent the oven from operating. Other common oven issues involve damage to the microwave’s internal parts, such as the door switch or magnetron.

What are the risks of repairing a microwave oven?

The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety advises against DIY microwave repairs due to the risk of serious injury like burns or electrocution from high voltage and capacitors. It's safer to consult a qualified professional for residential appliance repair to assess whether repair or replacement is more suitable.

How to test if a microwave is working properly?

Always review the safety guidelines and troubleshooting tips in the original product guide provided by the manufacturer before requesting service for a microwave oven. One simple way of testing the performance of a microwave oven involves heating a mug or other microwave-safe container filled with water on maximum power for 60 seconds. In most cases, the water should begin boiling during this time.

How long should a microwave oven last?

A new microwave oven typically lasts about seven years under normal indoor conditions, but heavy use or poor maintenance could shorten the lifespan to around four or five years. Premium brands may last longer — 10 to 15 years or more.
