Small Appliance Repair questions, answered by experts

In most cases, it’s better to repair a microwave than replace it, provided the appliance isn’t reaching the end of its life. The average cost to repair a microwave is $175, while a total replacement will average around $500, including the microwave and the labor cost to install it. If your microwave is less than five years old, it will probably be more cost-effective to repair it. If it’s reaching the end of its life—usually around seven to eight years old—then replacing it might be more affordable in the long run.

Countertop microwaves are the most common type of microwave. This is because they don't require installation; all a countertop microwave needs is a stable surface and an outlet. Low-end countertop microwaves can be found for less than $100 with high-end models going for up to $700, making them an accessible option for most people.

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. 

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 most obvious sign that it’s time to repair or replace your microwave is that it is no longer heating food. If you notice your food coming out cold or not as warm as it used to, call a small appliance repair technician for help. 

Some other signs your microwave is in need of service include:

  • It’s making strange noises during operation.

  • The interior plate no longer spins.

  • You notice strange smells or see smoke.

  • It’s close to or more than eight years old.

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:

  • How many people in your home use the appliance

  • How often you use the microwave

  • Brand and quality

  • Whether or not you maintain it properly

  • Style of microwave

  • Professional or DIY installation
