"The technician did an excellent job. It did take a while to get the repair finished, but that was due to Bertazzoni delivering the parts. I have had multiple problems with this particular appliance. My range now works better than it did when new, but I have a feeling that even if I have continuing problems with it, American Home Shield will just repair rather than replace due to the cost of the range. By the way, I'm not exactly sure of the date of the repair."

Small Appliance Repair questions, answered by experts

The magnetron, which generates the microwave energy to heat food, is one of the most common components to fail. 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. Repairing a broken magnetron usually costs between $100 and $200, or $175 on average. About half of that cost is for labor and the other half is for the new part, though costs may be higher for high-end models.

The standard for most microwave recipes and instructions is 1,000 watts. Other aspects of your microwave need to be considered like size, functionality, and where it will be installed, but 1,000 watts is considered the standard for home cooking. Lower-end models will be 700 watts or less, causing them to heat food more slowly. The maximum wattage for a microwave is usually 1,700 watts.

If you use your microwave as your quick reheating solution, replacing it with a steam oven won’t be your best choice. Steam ovens take a long time to heat things up. Sometimes, it can be an hour or more before your food is ready. Meanwhile, a microwave heats up food in minutes with many quick-heat presets, making it the perfect option for those on a tight schedule.

Costs depend on appliance age, issue complexity, part availability, and labor rates.

The cost to repair an appliance varies depending on the make, model, parts needing repair, and labor time to repair each kind of appliance. Labor costs may range from $40 to $120 per hour during business hours, but will likely increase on holidays and for emergencies outside of normal business hours. On average, common appliance repair costs include:

  • Dishwasher: $160–$300

  • Dryer: $100–$400

  • Freezer: $90–$500

  • Garbage disposal: $70–$250

  • Microwave: $50–$400

  • Oven, cooktop, range: $100–$500

  • Refrigerator: $200–$300

  • Washing machine: $50–$450
