On-truckOEM parts for microwaves — first-visit repair.
How we work
Counter-top microwaves are usually not repair-worthy, but built-in and over-the-range models are — they're often $800–$3,000 to replace and integrated with the cabinetry. We repair magnetrons, door switches, diodes, capacitors, and control boards on every major brand.

What we see most
Common microwaves faults — how we diagnose.
Runs but doesn't heat
Magnetron, high-voltage diode, or capacitor. Service involves shielded discharge — not a DIY job.
Sparking inside the cavity
Damaged waveguide cover or a chipped paint surface. Cheap fix if caught early.
Door switch failure
Won't start unless the door is slammed — three-switch interlock typically needs replacing as a set.
Brands we service
Factory-familiar on every major microwave brand.
Our technicians are trained on premium and mainstream microwaves, from luxury imports to everyday installs.

Microwave maintenance tips.
Simple habits that extend the life of your microwave and reduce repair calls.
Clean spills inside the cavity weekly — burnt food damages the waveguide.
Replace the charcoal filter on OTR microwaves every 6 months.
Clean the grease filter monthly (top-rack dishwasher safe).
Avoid running the microwave empty — it can damage the magnetron.
Don't slam the door — three-switch interlocks fail fastest from impact.
Microwave care guide
Everything you should ask before paying for a microwave repair.
The same questions our techs answer on the phone every day — written down so you can read them before you call.
Repair or replace?
If your microwave is under ~7 years old and the failure is a single bad part, repair almost always wins. Sealed-system failures, multiple control-board faults, or units past 12 years are the cases where we'll tell you honestly to budget for a replacement.
What drives the cost
Three things: (1) OEM part availability for your model, (2) labor time — typical microwaves fall in the $140–$420 typical range, (3) whether sealed-system or refrigerant work is needed. The diagnostic locks the quote before any work starts.
How the visit runs
Tech arrives in the texted window, runs a full diagnostic in ~15 minutes, hands you a written quote on the spot. If you approve, most microwave repairs finish on the first visit. If a part needs ordering we book a return slot inside the window.
Warranty + what's covered
Every repair carries 30-day labor warranty, 90-day parts warranty. If the same fault re-occurs inside the window we come back free of charge — parts and labor. Coverage starts the day the repair is completed.
