An over-the-range or built-in microwave is wired into your kitchen and costs far more to replace than a countertop model, which is why it is usually worth a repair. We repair over-the-range, built-in and drawer microwaves across Jacksonville & the First Coast. We do not repair countertop microwaves: a new countertop unit usually costs less than the repair.
The parts that fail are well known: door switches and the line fuse, the magnetron, the high-voltage diode and capacitor, the turntable motor, the vent fan and the control board. A microwave that runs but does not heat points to the high-voltage circuit; one that is completely dead often has a blown line fuse, and a failed door switch is a frequent reason the fuse blew. The technician tests each part before replacing anything.
Safety: a microwave stores a dangerous high-voltage charge in its capacitor, even after it is unplugged. Never open the cabinet yourself. You get a flat written price before work starts, the $79 diagnostic is waived when you approve the repair, and the repair carries our 90-day parts-and-labor warranty.
Common problems
Microwave problems we fix in Jacksonville
Tell us the symptom when you book; it helps the technician plan for the likely part. These are the problems behind most calls for this appliance.
Runs but does not heat
The magnetron, the high-voltage diode or capacitor, or a door switch. These are high-voltage parts, so the testing is a job for the technician.
Completely dead, no display
A blown line fuse, often after a door switch failed, a tripped breaker, or a failed control board. Check the breaker first.
Trips the breaker or blows the fuse
A shorted door switch, a failing magnetron or capacitor, or a wiring fault. Stop using it until it is checked.
Sparking or arcing inside
Metal in the cavity, food buildup, or a damaged waveguide cover (the small panel inside the cavity). Stop using it and have it checked if the sparking continues with the cavity clean and empty.
Turntable not turning
A turntable that is off its coupler, a worn roller ring or a failed turntable motor.
Vent fan or light not working
Over-the-range models have their own vent fan and cooktop light. A failed fan motor, switch or bulb socket is a routine repair.
Keypad not responding or an error code
A failed membrane keypad, a control board fault or a sensor code. Tell us the code when you book.
Door will not latch or opens on its own
Broken latch hooks or a worn door switch assembly. A microwave should never run with a door that does not close properly.

Prevention
Maintenance tips for your microwave
A few habits that help prevent breakdowns, in line with what the manufacturers recommend.
Clean the grease filters
Over-the-range models have metal grease filters under the unit. Wash them regularly so the vent fan can move air.
Replace the charcoal filter
If the vent recirculates into the kitchen instead of venting outside, it uses a charcoal filter that needs replacing. Your manual gives the interval.
Never run it empty
With nothing inside to absorb the energy, the magnetron can be damaged.
Keep metal out
Unless your manual says a rack or tray is safe, keep metal, foil and twist ties out of the cavity.
Wipe the door seal
Food on the door and seal keeps it from closing cleanly and wears the latch.
Close the door gently
Slamming the door is hard on the latch hooks and the door switches behind them.

FAQ
Microwave repair questions, answered
Do you repair countertop microwaves?
No. A new countertop microwave usually costs less than a repair visit. We repair over-the-range, built-in and drawer models, which cost more to replace and are wired or mounted in place.
Why does my microwave run but not heat?
The magnetron, the high-voltage diode or capacitor, or a door switch has usually failed. Do not open the cabinet: the capacitor can hold a dangerous charge even when the microwave is unplugged. Read the full guide
What can I safely check myself?
The breaker, the outlet (if it plugs in), the door closing fully and any control lock. Anything inside the cabinet is for a technician.
How much does microwave repair cost?
The diagnostic is $79 for over-the-range and built-in microwaves and $119 for microwave-wall-oven combinations, waived with the repair. Labor starts at $179 plus parts ($249 for combinations), quoted in writing before work begins.
Is it worth repairing an over-the-range microwave?
Often, yes, because replacing one means buying the unit and paying for the mounting and venting again. Our guide walks through the numbers. Read the full guide
Do you install over-the-range microwaves?
Yes: the mounting bracket, cabinet bolts, vent setup and electrical connection. See our installation page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All parts and labor are covered by our 90-day warranty.
