Microwave repairs cost an average of $175, and most repairs fall between $100 and $200. Minor repairs, like replacing a broken diode or glass plate, can cost as little as $50, while major repairs like a door replacement can total between $400 and $500. In some cases, it’s more affordable to replace the entire microwave than it is to carry out repairs, especially if it’s nearing the end of its life.

The magnetron, which is the component that generates the microwave energy used to heat your food, is the most likely piece to cause your appliance to fail. Unfortunately, your microwave won’t serve any purpose without a functioning magnetron, so not only is this the most common repair, but it’s also the most important. 

Repairing a broken magnetron usually costs between $100 and $200 or $175 on average. About half of that cost goes toward labor, and the other half is for a new magnetron. Higher-end microwaves may demand larger or more complex components, which could increase your repair cost.

Built-in ovens are installed directly into a wall to sit flush with a kitchen's cabinets, counters, or walls. These ovens offer a streamlined appearance that can blend into the rest of your kitchen aesthetic. And if you want it to blend in even more, you can opt to put a cabinet door over the unit to match the rest of your cabinets. 

Another benefit of built-in ovens is that they help preserve your floor space. If you opt for a standalone oven, you'll need to find a place for it in your kitchen. However, since built-in ovens are flush with your walls or cabinets, they won't encroach on your square footage.

Choosing the right appliance installation company involves finding an installer with a positive reputation among past customers, works with your specific appliances, and won’t void your manufacturer’s warranty. We recommend you ask the following questions to any installer you’re considering hiring:

• Are you fully insured?

• Can you handle the gas line or water line connection I need?

• Are you certified by my appliance manufacturer for installation?

• Do you have any customer references I can call?

• How many years have you been in business?

• Do you offer discounts if I need multiple appliances installed?
