A microwave that sparks, hums without heating, or has a door that won't latch properly is small but shouldn't be ignored. Our licensed technicians diagnose magnetrons, door switches, and control boards fast, usually the same day you call.
A microwave might be the smallest appliance in the kitchen, but a spark, a burning smell, or a door that won't latch are all worth a proper look rather than a guess. Whether it's a countertop unit or an over-the-range built-in, most issues come down to a small set of parts.
Our technicians carry the door switches, magnetrons, control boards, and turntable motors most commonly needed for Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, GE, KitchenAid, and other major brands, so most microwave repairs are completed in a single visit.
If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a call before the problem gets worse.
Often caused by a damaged wave guide cover or metal debris — stop using it and have it checked.
The turntable spins and the light comes on, but food stays cold — usually a failed magnetron.
A worn door switch can prevent the microwave from starting at all, as a safety measure.
Usually points to a failing turntable motor or a struggling magnetron.
Often a control board issue rather than a full unit failure.
Usually a worn drive motor or a misaligned support ring.
A cracked door, bent hinge, or door that doesn't close flush can allow microwave energy to leak. If your door doesn't seal perfectly, unplug the unit and have a technician inspect it before using it again.
Every microwave visit includes a full check of the parts most likely to be causing the problem, including a door seal safety check.

Pricing depends on the part needed (a door switch costs less than a magnetron), your microwave's brand, and whether it's a countertop or built-in over-the-range model. You'll always receive a flat, itemized quote before we begin any work.
"Noticed sparking inside our built-in microwave and called right away. Technician replaced the wave guide cover — quick and affordable."
"Microwave was running but not heating at all. Turned out to be the magnetron — fixed same day for less than a new unit."
"Door wouldn't latch and the microwave refused to start. Simple door switch replacement — didn't expect it to be that easy."
Yes — stop using it immediately. Sparking is usually caused by damaged interior components and should be inspected before the microwave is used again.
For built-in and over-the-range models especially, yes — a door switch or magnetron replacement is typically far cheaper than replacing and reinstalling a new built-in unit.
Yes, our technicians repair both countertop units and built-in over-the-range or wall models across all major brands.
We charge a small diagnostic fee to send a technician out, which is applied toward the repair cost once you approve the quote.
