Common Microwave Problems

Common Microwave Problems We Repair

A malfunctioning microwave can interrupt your daily routine and, in some situations, create a potential safety concern. Our technicians diagnose many common microwave problems, including:

Microwave runs but doesn’t heat
Microwave won’t turn on
Microwave stops during use
Microwave is heating slowly
Turntable isn’t rotating
Microwave door won’t close
Door won’t latch properly
Control panel isn’t responding
Display is blank or flickering
Exhaust fan isn’t working
Interior light isn’t working
Microwave is making unusual noises
Error codes are appearing
Microwave is sparking or arcing
Burning smell during operation
Breaker trips when the microwave is used

Microwave Safety Warning

Stop using the microwave if it sparks, smokes, produces a burning smell, operates with the door open, or has visible damage to the door or latch.

Do not remove the microwave’s outer cabinet. Internal high-voltage components can retain a dangerous electrical charge even after the appliance has been unplugged.

Types of Microwaves We Service

Better Homes Appliance Repair services several types of residential microwaves, including:

Over-the-range microwaves
Built-in microwaves
Microwave drawers
Wall-mounted microwaves
Combination microwave and wall-oven units
Select countertop microwaves

Countertop microwaves are often less expensive to replace than repair. Call 727-447-0108 with the brand and model number so our office can help determine whether service is available and whether repair is likely to be practical.

Service availability depends on the microwave type, model, age, installation, technician capability, and availability of replacement parts.

Our technicians carry many commonly used parts. Some repairs may require a return appointment when a model-specific part must be ordered.

Is Your Microwave Worth Repairing?

Whether a microwave is worth repairing depends on its age, type, original cost, condition, required part, and the availability of replacement components.

Repair may make sense when:

The microwave is built into cabinetry
It is part of a combination wall-oven unit
It is an over-the-range model that fits the existing space
The appliance is otherwise in good condition
The required repair is reasonably priced
A comparable replacement would require installation or cabinetry changes

Replacement may be more practical when:

It is an inexpensive countertop microwave
The appliance has significant interior or door damage
Essential replacement parts are no longer available
The repair cost is high compared with replacement
The microwave has several unrelated problems

Our technician will diagnose the problem, explain the available options, and provide an honest recommendation based on the condition and value of the appliance.
