Small Appliance Repair questions, answered by experts

While not always necessary, a venting system does help keep your microwave from overheating. It also prevents potential smells from wafting or lingering in your kitchen, which for some homeowners, makes installing a vent over the top of your microwave worth it.

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.

Installing a microwave can take a pro anywhere between one and three hours. Countertop units are the quickest and easiest for most DIYers, while built-in, drawer, and vented over-the-range microwaves take longer. You may be looking at a three-hour install if you need electrical or custom cabinetry work.

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.

Often, professional setups are necessary to uphold warranty conditions.
