Lexington, KY’s Leading Microwave Oven Repair Service Team

Your microwave can act up in many ways. Some of those issues are more worrisome than others, but it’s hard to know which to pay attention to unless you’re a qualified professional. Take a moment to see if your problem needs professional microwave oven repairs. Some of the most common issues with microwaves include:

• Microwave won’t work – A surge of electricity or slamming the door can cause your microwave’s fuse to blow. This will prevent it from working. However, you should make sure that your microwave is plugged in and the door is entirely closed first.
• Sparks inside the microwave – Arcing occurs when a piece of metal, like a fork, is put into the microwave. It can also happen if your microwave has a defective stirrer or if a high-voltage diode shorts out.
• Microwave won’t heat – If you have a defective magnetron, capacitor, or diode, your microwave may run but not heat your food. We can help you replace any of those parts.
• Control panel problems – When your control panel becomes damaged, it may only work occasionally or not work at all. You will most likely need to replace your control panel in these cases.

A blown fuse is the first thing we look for when a microwave isn’t working. This is the most common culprit. If the fuse is still intact, we check several other potential causes, including faulty door switches and damaged control boards. Mr. Appliance of Lexington will find the source of the problem and provide you with a quote for the microwave oven repair costs ahead of time.

Checking your microwave for a blown fuse might sound like a simple DIY microwave oven repair service, but it’s not as straightforward as it might seem. Your microwave actually has several different fuses. There is usually a fuse for the door, a thermal fuse, and a voltage fuse. A microwave that won’t turn on is one of the most common signs that a fuse has blown. However, many other issues can arise depending on which fuse has blown.

While most microwaves do not have a button for performing a hard reset, there are a few ways that you can reset your microwave if it has frozen or if you have been confused by changed settings. If you notice an “off/reset/cancel” button, holding it until you hear a beep will often perform a soft reset. This will clear any existing tasks or timers. If you need to perform a hard reset to your microwave’s factory settings, this can usually be accomplished by unplugging it for 20 to 30 minutes.

When part of your microwave breaks, you have to wonder whether you should repair or replace it.

When we inspect your unit, we’ll give you an honest microwave oven repair or replacement recommendation. Some of the parts we might need to replace include:

• Lights
• Fuses

• Capacitors
