Microwave Repair FAQ
How much does microwave repair cost? We can’t give you a price until we see it. Every repair is different depending on what’s wrong and what parts are needed. We charge a flat trip charge to come diagnose it, and if you approve the repair that fee is waived. Our technician examines the appliance, then walks you through exactly what’s wrong and gives you a price before any work begins. You don’t pay anything until the job is complete.
Is it worth repairing a microwave? It depends on the type of microwave. A basic countertop microwave that costs $100 to replace is usually not worth repairing beyond simple fixes. An over-the-range or built-in microwave that costs $400 to $1,000 or more to replace is a different story and usually worth repairing. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment before any work begins so you can make the right call.
My microwave is sparking inside. Is that dangerous? Yes, stop using it immediately. Sparking inside a microwave is usually caused by metal accidentally left inside, a damaged waveguide cover, or a failing component. Using a sparking microwave can cause further damage or create a fire hazard. Turn it off, unplug it, and give us a call.
Do you repair over-the-range and built-in microwaves? Yes. Over-the-range and built-in microwaves are more complex to service than countertop units and often more worth repairing given their higher replacement cost. Our technicians are experienced with all configurations.
How long does microwave repair take? Many repairs are completed on the first visit. We stock common parts on our trucks to handle frequent repairs same day. When a part needs to be ordered, our technician schedules your return visit before he leaves your home. Parts typically arrive the next day and we get back out to you within 1 to 2 days after that.
