MICROWAVE OVEN REPAIR service

To heat something up quickly before work or after a tiring day at work, the best solution is your microwave oven. They were created in the 1970s to speed up the cooking and reheating process of meals. Everyone first wondered what the magic of the metal box was, how it worked, what the power source was, and whether they were safe. How does the microwave work, here’s the answer?
The main component is called a magnetron, which channels electrical energy, creating a stream of electrons that in turn pulse back and forth inside the appliance. The bounce of the waves from the walls inside causes the food to heat up in a negative time.
When you’re in a rush one day and your microwave stops working, you need a solution to the problem. Should you look for a microwave technician near me or replace it with a new one? The new generation usually lasts 7 to 10 years depending on how you maintain it.
- Over the range microwave – they fall victim to problems more easily because they absorb all the oil and steam from the range. Regular cleaning is absolutely necessary for this type of appliance.
- Built-in microwave ovens – they are further away from the stove and do not absorb as much grease. That doesn’t mean maintenance has to wait. Usually, the repair of built-in electrical appliances is a little more complicated, requires a second technician and, accordingly, a little more expensive.
- Countertop microwave ovens – this is the easiest portable device that you can place in any part of the kitchen. It has easy access for cleaning from all sides and does not require special skills for installation.
Microwave problems and solutions:
Microwave won’t turn on – The first thing to do is check the electrical outlet. Plug the appliance into another outlet and then locate the circuit breaker to make sure it is on. If the problem is with the power supply, call an electrician near you to replace the outlet or circuit breaker. If you still have no lights on the display, then the problem is bigger and you need a microwave specialist.
Why does the microwave oven keep tripping the breaker – breakers are designed to prevent an electrical accident. There are several reasons for this to happen and it requires professional training. Here are some examples, but if you’re not sure what you’re doing, don’t try it yourself.
- Defective door switches or switch holder – small switches behind the door usually about 4 of them. Each should be tested with a multimeter
- Bad transformer – an important part of the appliance generates high voltage to cook your food. Can be tested with a multimeter for correct readings
- Faulty capacitor – a capacitor is very dangerous unless it discharges first, but we don’t recommend it if you don’t have experience with electrical things. A microwave capacitor can handle from 2000 to 5000 volts when the device is running, so it’s no joke.
- Bad control board or shorted relays – this can only be measured by a microwave service technician due to the knowledge required.
Microwave oven does not turn off – if your appliance does not turn off after the time has elapsed and even after opening the door, unplug it immediately. Check the door switches in the off position. The next step is to check the control board and every component on it for a short circuit or damage.
The microwave makes a loud noise – cold food and the hum of your oven does not create a very pleasant feeling in you. When you see a spark inside, better do not use it, disconnect it from the power supply. You may have a problem with the magnetron or the diode to it.
Microwave oven keypad not working – In particular, over the range ovens absorb all the grease from cooking much more easily, causing electrical damage. Try rebooting first and if that doesn’t help, you most likely have a damaged control panel. Replace the entire touch control, not the membrane switch, because you have to be very precise and you may not solve the problem.
Microwave oven light not working – Most of the time it’s an easy fix, you just need a new light bulb. Make sure your bulb matches the model of your appliance because they are different. Turn off the power and replace it, if that doesn’t help you probably have a bad switch or the main control panel.
Microwave turntable stopped rotating – first check if there is any obstruction preventing the turntable from moving, make sure the glass plate is in place. If you see nothing, remove the glass tray and check the tray support for damage. The next thing to test is the power to the turntable motor, if you have power to it then you have a bad motor.
Microwave does not heat up food – you are about to reheat your food and your oven is not heating up. If you notice a strange noise at the same time, it is most likely a magnetron or diode. Also, door switches should be tested by a microwave technician. Each of the above parts are replaceable and the microwave company Protection LLC can help you.

Microwave oven installation service:
Before proceeding with installation, call us for a consultation with us. Accurate measurements should be taken before purchasing a new stove.Over the range microwave ovens are standard dimensions approximately 30″ wide, 17″ high. For built-in microwave ovens we have a larger range of widths are 24″, 27″ or 30″ and depths from 20″ to 25″.If you buy a microwave from the same brand, no changes to your cabinets are usually necessary. But if you get a different brand with different sizes, the price may be a little higher because you will need a cabinet handyman or an electrician for a new electrical line.
