Microwave repair: common questions
The questions below cover microwave repair from booking through to the quote. Anything they miss can go in the form's notes box.
Ready to get it looked at?
A technician comes to your home anywhere in our service area, checks your microwave with its power and any gas supply shut off, and prices the fix first.
Only after the diagnosis. The technician checks the door switches, the high-voltage circuit and the touchpad, tells you which one failed and what the microwave repair costs, and nothing starts until you approve.
For microwaves: Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE Appliances, Maytag, Bosch, KitchenAid and Frigidaire, plus the other 19 makers listed on this page.
When the fix would cost too much for how old and worn the microwave is. You'll hear our view after the diagnosis, and the decision stays with you.
Go to the microwave's manufacturer while its coverage lasts; that repair should cost you nothing through them. We're independent of every brand, so covered work isn't ours to take.
Usually on the sticker on the door jamb or the rear of the cabinet. Send it with the brand and a sentence on what the microwave is doing. Leave the cabinet closed; a microwave holds a dangerous charge even unplugged.
Microwave repair, in more detail
This is our microwave repair page for Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. A microwave keeps a high-voltage charge inside after it is unplugged, so the cabinet is a technician's job. Plenty of faults turn out to be one switch or one component.
Our order of checks on a microwave is the door interlock switches first, because they are the safety system, then the high-voltage parts, and only after that the controls. That sequence finds the actual fault without charging you for parts that weren't broken.
What people get wrong about microwaves
With microwaves, a common misreading is a microwave that runs but won't heat, which feels like a total loss yet usually comes down to the magnetron, the diode or the capacitor. Misjudge it and you buy the wrong part, which on a microwave is often the costliest one inside.
What the area does to microwaves
Locally, the factor that matters is microwaves mounted above the range that also serve as the only vent hood in many townhome and apartment kitchens, from Uptown and South End to newer communities in Steele Creek, where the grease filter and the fan are part of the repair.
In many townhomes and apartments the over-the-range microwave is the kitchen's only vent, so the fan and grease filter are part of the repair. Summer thunderstorms can also bring power surges that affect electronic controls.
Before you call
Unplug it and keep the cabinet closed; the capacitor inside stays charged with high voltage. What you can safely check is whether the turntable sits properly on its roller ring and whether the door latches cleanly.
Microwave brands and platforms
We list 27 brands for microwave repair; you'll find them all linked on this page. Over-the-range microwaves are often built by a handful of suppliers for several badges, so the model number matters more than the name on the door.
Kenmore and other store brands were built by several manufacturers, so the model number, not the badge, tells us which parts fit.
What to expect
We test the microwave where it is installed, walk you through the failure and the fix, and begin only after you agree to the price.
We order microwave parts by model number, use the manufacturer's own where we can, and tell you before installing an equivalent. A microwave still under the maker's warranty should go to the maker first, since we're an independent service.

We come out, test the door switches, the high-voltage circuit and the touchpad, and quote the microwave repair before any work.
