What is the most common cause of microwave failure?

• <div><p>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. </p><p>Repairing a broken magnetron usually costs between <b>$100 and $200</b> or <b>$175 on average</b>. 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.</p></div>

What is the average life expectancy of a microwave?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>How many people in your home use the appliance</p></li><li><p>How often you use the microwave</p></li><li><p>Brand and quality</p></li><li><p>Whether or not you maintain it properly</p></li><li><p>Style of microwave</p></li><li><p>Professional or DIY installation</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Is it worth hiring someone to install your appliances?

• <div><p>In most cases, it&rsquo;s worth hiring a professional installer to place and connect your appliances. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-type-contractor-needed-install-washer-dryer-connection-my-basement.htm">Appliances like a washer and dryer</a> are heavy and bulky, so they can be dangerous and challenging to maneuver into your home, especially if you have to move up or down stairs. Some appliance manufacturers might void your warranty or portions of it if your appliance is installed incorrectly, which is more likely to happen with a DIY installation. Additionally, any appliances requiring connections to gas or water lines should only be handled by professional installers for safety reasons.</p></div>

Q: How long do oven or stovetop repairs take?

• <div><p>Most repairs take 1-3 hours, though complex electrical or gas issues may require additional time.</p></div>

Q: Can I repair my own oven?

• <div><p>Oven repair is considered one of the most complicated appliance repair tasks. The disassembly often needed to diagnose and repair issues could leave your oven beyond repair if it's not done properly. Leave oven repair to the pros.</p></div>
