Small Appliance Repair questions, answered by experts

The magnetron and the transformer are typically the most expensive parts of a microwave. Replacing a magnetron can cost anywhere between $100 and $200, depending on the make and model of the microwave, and replacing a transformer costs between $100 and $300. When these parts fail, it’s often preferred to simply replace the microwave entirely.

Most repairs take 1-3 hours, though complex electrical or gas issues may require additional time.

If you can’t get your microwave to stop tripping the breaker, hire a local appliance repair professional. They have the skills to quickly identify the problem and fix it. These professionals also have the knowledge and experience of working with appliances, so they know how to take the proper precautions to minimize the risk of electrical shock and fires.

If there’s already a suitable outlet near the range, you likely won’t need an electrician to install an over-the-range microwave. However, if there isn’t an existing outlet or the current one doesn’t meet the microwave’s power needs, you’ll probably need an electrician to install a new outlet. 

While not always necessary, a venting system does help keep your microwave from overheating. It also prevents potential smells from wafting or lingering in your kitchen, which for some homeowners, makes installing a vent over the top of your microwave worth it.
