How do I make my microwave last longer?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to prevent costly repairs is to take good care of your microwave, including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-life-hands-you-lemons-clean-your-microwave.htm">cleaning your microwave</a> regularly. If your microwave is covered in an embarrassing amount of gunk, there are a variety of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-microwave-cleaning-trick-ever.htm">simple tricks to get your microwave squeaky clean</a>. </p><p>Common household ingredients like lemons, vinegar, and baking soda will combat grease as effectively as harsh chemical solutions. Microwaves kept in good condition typically last about ten years.</p></div>

How do you find and choose an appliance installation company?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>Are you fully insured?</p></li><li><p>Can you handle the gas line or water line connection I need?</p></li><li><p>Are you certified by my appliance manufacturer for installation?</p></li><li><p>Do you have any customer references I can call?</p></li><li><p>How many years have you been in business?</p></li><li><p>Do you offer discounts if I need multiple appliances installed?</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Does the over-the-range microwave need to be vented?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Do installations include removing old units?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include removal and disposal of old microwaves. Confirm with your installer.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth fixing an oven?

• <div><p>In general, yes, it's worth <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-i-repair-or-replace-my-broken-appliance.htm">repairing an appliance over replacing it</a>. If the repair will give you more years of reliable service from the oven and the repair costs less than buying a comparable new model, then yes, get it repaired. If, on the other hand, the oven is reaching the end of its life and needs a costly repair, you're likely better off buying a new oven.</p></div>
