How much does microwave repair cost?
The visit is $99 and it comes off the bill if you go ahead with the repair on the same visit. The repair is quoted in writing first.
It turns but does not heat.
Classic magnetron or high-voltage circuit fault. On a built-in or a drawer unit that is well worth repairing; on a cheap countertop microwave it usually is not, and we will say so.
It will not start at all and the display is lit.
Normally a door interlock. There are three switches in series and the machine refuses to run if any one of them disagrees — by design, and not something to bypass.
Is a microwave safe to repair?
In trained hands, yes. The high-voltage capacitor holds a dangerous charge after the power is off and has to be discharged properly, which is exactly why this is not a DIY repair.
My microwave drawer will not open.
The drive motor, the rails or the open sensor. The cooking side is usually perfectly healthy — it is the mechanism that wears.
The fan under my over-the-range unit has stopped.
That is the hood half of the appliance, not the microwave half. Blower, filters and lighting are separate from the cooking side and cheaper to put right.
Do you repair built-in microwaves in a wall stack?
Yes. The unit comes out of the cabinet before anything is reachable, which is a planned two-person job rather than something discovered on arrival.
Is it worth repairing?
On a built-in, drawer or speed oven, almost always — the cabinet opening is sized to that unit. On a countertop microwave, rarely, and we would rather tell you than take the job.
What warranty do you give?
Parts and labour for up to 365 days depending on the part.
Which areas do you cover?
53 cities and neighborhoods across Los Angeles and the Conejo Valley, from the Conejo Valley to Long Beach. The full list is further down this page.
