Microwave repair worth doing

A basic countertop microwave is often cheaper to replace than to repair, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case. Over-the-range, built-in, drawer and speed-oven microwaves are different: they double as the range hood or fit the cabinetry, and they cost far more to replace and install. That’s where repair makes sense, and it’s where most of our microwave work is.

Microwaves store a dangerous high-voltage charge even when unplugged, so please don’t open the cabinet yourself. Our technicians discharge and test the high-voltage parts safely and repair door switches, magnetrons, keypads, vent fans, lights and turntables. We offer same-day visits whenever a technician and parts are available.*

Microwave Runs but Doesn’t Heat

Light, fan and turntable work, food stays cold

When the light, fan and turntable work but food stays cold, the high-voltage circuit has failed: the magnetron, the high-voltage diode or capacitor, or a door switch that interrupts it. Testing these needs the cabinet off and the capacitor discharged, which is a job for a technician.

Problems we fix most

  • Runs but doesn’t heat
  • Heats weakly or unevenly
  • Louder buzzing or humming than usual
  • Stops heating after a few seconds
  • Blows the fuse when started

Safety note

Microwaves hold a dangerous high-voltage charge even when unplugged. Please don’t remove the cabinet; our technicians discharge and test these parts safely.

How we diagnose a microwave that won’t heat

We test the door switches first, since one failed switch can stop the heating or blow the main fuse, then the magnetron, the high-voltage diode, capacitor and transformer, and the control relay.

Parts we often replaceDoor switchesMagnetronHigh-voltage diodeHigh-voltage capacitorMain fuseControl relay

Dead Microwave or Keypad Not Working

No power, blank display, keys that don’t respond

A microwave that’s completely dead usually has a blown main fuse, often caused by a failing door switch. A display that works with keys that don’t respond points to the touchpad or its ribbon cable, and some models show a code for a shorted key.

Problems we fix most

  • No power at all
  • Display blank
  • Some keys don’t respond
  • Starts on its own or beeps constantly
  • Shorted-key error code

Before you book

Check the breaker first. Over-the-range models are usually on their own circuit, and a tripped breaker looks exactly like a dead microwave.

How we diagnose a dead microwave

We check the supply, the main and thermal fuses and the door switches, then the touchpad, its ribbon cable and the control board.

Parts we often replaceMain fuseThermal cut-outDoor switchesTouchpadControl boardTransformer

Sparking, Arcing or Burning Smell

Sparks inside, burning smell, scorched cavity

Sparks inside a microwave are often caused by a burnt waveguide cover, the small panel on the inside wall, or by damaged paint in the cavity. A burning smell or smoke from the vents can point to a failing magnetron or overheated wiring, and the microwave shouldn’t be used until it’s checked.

Problems we fix most

  • Sparks or flashes inside
  • Burning smell
  • Scorched spot on the waveguide cover
  • Popping noises
  • Smoke from the vents

Stop using it

If you see sparks or smell burning, stop the microwave and switch it off at the breaker or unplug it. Don’t run it empty to test it.

How we diagnose sparking and burning

We inspect the waveguide cover and the cavity, then test the magnetron, the diode and the wiring for heat damage.

Parts we often replaceWaveguide coverMagnetronStirrerHigh-voltage diodeWiring

Vent Fan, Lights & Turntable

Over-the-range vent fans, cooktop lights, turntables and doors

Over-the-range microwaves double as the range hood, so their vent fan and lights work hard and collect grease. A fan that’s noisy or stuck on, lights that don’t work, a turntable that won’t turn or a door that won’t latch are all common, fixable faults.

Problems we fix most

  • Vent fan noisy or not working
  • Fan stuck on or won’t turn off
  • Cooktop light out
  • Turntable not turning
  • Door won’t latch or open

Good to know

Many over-the-range models turn the vent fan on by themselves when the cooktop below gets hot. That’s a safety feature, not a fault.

How we diagnose vent, light and turntable faults

We test the vent motor and its controls, the light sockets and switches, the turntable motor and coupler, and the door latch and hooks.

Parts we often replaceVent fan motorLight socketTurntable motorDoor latch hooksDoor handleGrease filters

Built-In, Drawer & Speed-Oven Microwaves

Microwave drawers, trim-kit built-ins and combination speed ovens

Built-in microwaves, microwave drawers and speed ovens combine a microwave with a convection oven or a motorized drawer. They’re expensive to replace and sized to the cabinetry, so repairing the drawer motor, the convection element or the controls is usually the better choice.

Problems we fix most

  • Drawer won’t open or close
  • Convection or speed mode not heating
  • Error code on the display
  • Trim kit loose or damaged
  • Fan running constantly

Good to know

Speed ovens use both microwave and convection heat, so a fault in either one can look like the same problem. Note which modes still work when you book.

How we diagnose built-in and drawer models

We test the drawer motor and switches, the convection element and fan, and the microwave circuit, removing the unit from the cabinet when the repair needs it.

Repair or replace your microwave?

Usually worth repairing

  • It’s an over-the-range, built-in, drawer or speed-oven microwave
  • The fault is a door switch, fuse, keypad, fan, light or turntable
  • It matches a suite, or a replacement would need new trim or cabinet work
  • The cavity is clean and undamaged

Worth weighing a replacement

  • It’s an older countertop model with a failed magnetron
  • The cavity is rusted or badly burnt
  • Parts are no longer available
  • The door glass or frame is damaged

For a basic countertop microwave, replacing it is often the better value, and we’ll say so. Over-the-range and built-in units are usually worth repairing.

Microwave repair questions

How much does microwave repair cost in Toronto?

It depends on the part and the model. The diagnostic is free when you go ahead with the repair, and the technician gives you a written price before any work starts. New customers also get $25 off the repair.

Is it worth repairing a microwave?

For over-the-range, built-in, drawer and speed-oven models, usually yes, because they cost far more to replace and install. For a basic countertop model, replacing it is often the better value, and we'll tell you honestly.

Why does my microwave run but not heat?

The high-voltage circuit has failed: usually the magnetron, the high-voltage diode or capacitor, or a door switch. These parts hold a dangerous charge, so they should be tested by a technician.

My microwave is sparking. Is it safe to use?

No. Stop using it and switch it off at the breaker or unplug it. Sparking is often a burnt waveguide cover, which is a simple repair, but continuing to use it can damage the magnetron.

Do you repair over-the-range vent fans and lights?

Yes. We repair vent fan motors, fan controls, cooktop lights and switches on over-the-range microwaves.

Can you come the same day?

Often, yes. We offer same-day visits whenever a technician and parts are available in your area. If today is full, we book the earliest time that suits you.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. Our repairs carry a warranty of up to 12 months, depending on the repair.
