Microwave Repair Service

Clean the inside of the microwave with water and dish soap. Then, put a cup of water (with an optional tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar) in the microwave. Turn it on for three minutes to steam the inside. Next, clean it a second time. Finally, put a box of baking soda inside the unit overnight. If it’s still smelly, ask Mr. Appliance to replace the microwave filter for you if it has one.

Yes, microwaves are worth repairing. The general rule for all small home appliance repairs is that if the appliance is new and repairs will cost less than replacement, it is worth the repair.

Not heating properly or the turntable not rotating are the most common issues with a microwave appliance. These are typically caused by a malfunctioning magnetron for the heat and a broken drive motor for the turntable.

With proper maintenance and care, such as regular cleaning, a microwave can last upwards of ten years, with an average life expectancy of eight years.

If your microwave isn’t heating your food but making weird sounds and producing odd smells, you may be dealing with a faulty door switch, an issue with the magnetron, a damaged capacitor, or a broken control board. You can use a multimeter to check the different parts and narrow down the issue. Consider consulting a qualified appliance repair professional for further diagnosis and repair.

For most types of microwaves, you can disable the child lock by pressing and holding the Off or Clear button for a few seconds. Check your owner’s manual for instructions. Don’t have the instruction manual on hand? Locate your model number — often at the side or back of your unit — and search the internet for your particular manual.
