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.

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>

What are the most common microwave repair problems?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>
