Microwave Repair in Auburn & Placer County, CA

Microwave Problems We Fix

We service over-the-range microwave hoods, built-in and trim-kit microwaves, microwave drawers, and convection microwave combinations from Whirlpool, GE, LG, Samsung, KitchenAid, Maytag, Bosch, Sharp, and Thermador.

The microwave problems we see most often include a microwave that runs but does not heat, a turntable that will not spin, a door latch or interlock switch failure, a burned-out magnetron, a blown line fuse or thermal cutout, a keypad or touch panel that no longer responds, a loud humming noise, a vent fan or hood light that has stopped working, and error codes on the display. Every visit starts with a full diagnostic, so you get an accurate quote instead of a guess — not a parts-cannon guess that costs you money.

Built-in and over-the-range microwaves are worth repairing far more often than countertop units, because replacing one usually means matching a trim kit or cabinet cutout and paying for installation on top of the appliance. We test the door interlocks, the high-voltage components, and the control panel to determine whether you are looking at an inexpensive fuse or a failed magnetron — and we tell you honestly which one it is.

Microwaves store dangerous voltage in the high-voltage capacitor even when unplugged. This is one appliance where do-it-yourself repair is genuinely risky, so please let a trained technician handle it.

Frequently Asked Questions — Microwave Repair

My microwave runs but does not heat food. What is wrong?

That is the classic symptom of a failed magnetron, a bad high-voltage diode or capacitor, or a door interlock switch that is not closing. All of these require testing high-voltage components, which should only be done by a trained technician.

Is it worth repairing an over-the-range microwave?

Usually yes. Replacing an over-the-range or built-in unit means matching the cabinet opening or trim kit and paying for installation, so a repair is often less than half the total cost of replacement.

Do you repair microwave drawers and built-in microwaves?

Yes. We service microwave drawers, built-in and trim-kit microwaves, and convection microwave combinations from all major brands, including Sharp, Thermador, KitchenAid, and Bosch.

The vent fan and light work but nothing else does. Why?

That normally points to a blown line fuse, a failed thermal cutout, or a control board problem, since the fan and light run on a separate circuit from the cooking components.

Can I fix a microwave myself?

We strongly advise against it. The high-voltage capacitor can hold a lethal charge even after the unit is unplugged. Call (916) 805-1880 and we will handle it safely.
