Small Appliance Repair questions, answered by experts

If your microwave keeps tripping the breaker, your first instinct may be to repair it, but it might make more sense to replace it. On average, microwaves last about seven years, although they can last as long as 11. If your unit is pushing a decade and has seen better days, consider replacing it (if your budget allows).

The cost to buy a new microwave depends on the type of unit you plan to buy. A regular countertop microwave costs between $50 and $500 while combo microwave ovens can cost as much as $3,500.

The magnetron is one of the most common components to fail first in a microwave. When the magnetron fails, the microwave can no longer heat food. Other frequently failing parts include the door switch, which prevents the microwave from operating if the door is not securely closed, the light bulb, and control panel buttons that may stop responding over time.

Most local governments classify microwaves as hazardous household electronic waste items that are bad for the environment. This is why you could receive a fine for improperly disposing of a microwave in your normal curbside garbage collection or a landfill. Often, state law requires the hazardous components to be removed and safely disposed of before the item is recycled as scrap metal.

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.

Most microwaves last for around eight years; lower-end units may last as few as five, while higher-end microwaves could continue to work for ten or more years. A few factors will affect the lifespan of your small appliance:

  • How many people in your home use the appliance

  • How often you use the microwave

  • Brand and quality

  • Whether or not you maintain it properly

  • Style of microwave

  • Professional or DIY installation
