Appliance Sales questions, answered by experts

Every home warranty is different but a majority of them cover appliance repair and replacement, provided the issue arises from normal wear and tear. Make sure you check your plan however as some will only cover new appliances which can be aggravating, as new appliances usually come with their own product warranty, whereas the warranty for an older appliance may have long since expired. Check with your home warranty company to see if an old appliance is covered before calling a professional appliance repair person.

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.

The appliances that frequently experience problems are the appliances that get used the most and have to deal with strong forces. These forces, like doors slamming, are a common cause of issues with washers, dryers, ovens, and dishwashers. Couple that with the fact that these are usually the most used appliances in a house, issues can compound quickly. Fridges, clothes washers and dryers, and dishwashers are appliances that see the most issues.

There are a few ways to reduce your electricity bills if you use window AC units to keep cool. Set the unit temperature at least 1 degree higher than it is currently to reduce costs. Keep the unit clean for it to run efficiently. You may want to hire a window AC specialist near you to inspect the unit once a year and keep it in tip-top shape.
