Small Appliance Repair questions, answered by experts

DIY is feasible for technically inclined owners with proper tools, though hiring professionals ensures compliance and minimizes hazards.

Some of the most common microwave repair problems include magnetron failure and a plate that won’t spin. When a magnetron fails, the microwave won’t efficiently heat your food—a frustrating albeit common experience. Meanwhile, a plate that doesn’t spin won’t thoroughly heat food, even if the magnetron works.

In most cases, it is more cost-effective to repair a microwave rather than replace it, especially if the appliance is relatively new and not nearing the end of its typical seven-year lifespan. The average cost to repair a microwave is around $175, whereas a replacement can average $500, including the new unit and installation. The cost of a new microwave varies significantly by type, from $50 to $500 for a countertop model to as much as $3,500 for a combination oven. If your microwave is less than five years old, a repair is likely the better financial choice. However, if it is approaching the end of its life—usually around seven to eight years old—replacing it might be more sensible in the long run.

Installation involves assessing space for fit, disconnecting power, placing the unit, and securing ventilation space. Wall ovens may require additional mounting support.

It’s usually safe to use a microwave if the plate isn’t spinning. You may experience unevenly heated food and cold spots, but you’re unlikely to run into major problems like total appliance failure or a fire. You can try diagnosing the issue yourself, but you should contact a small appliance repair company if you can’t figure out what’s causing the problem.
