Hi! My name is Frank Schuldt, owner and operator of Frankie’s Appliance Maintenance. I have worked in the appliance industry for over 20 years and have extensive knowledge and experience in products, installation, and repair. I earned a degree from Sauk Valley Community College and am a graduate of Fred’s Appliance Academy for Appliance Repair. While attending Fred’s, I was taught that the majority of service calls are the result of neglect and improper usage. My repair experience since graduation confirms that this is 100% true. Understanding that the majority of people cannot pull out and properly maintain their appliances is the reason I decided to open Frankie's Appliance Maintenance. My mission is to keep your appliances running efficiently and provide proper user education to put an end to preventable service calls while also extending the life of your investments. When you book an appointment with Frankie’s Appliance Maintenance you will get: • A friendly, professional, and knowledgeable technician with over 20 years experience to properly maintain your appliances. • Someone to pull out and clean the areas behind and underneath your appliances. • Honest assessments of existing vents, hoses, gas lines, and waterlines. • Proper usage tips to avoid additional wear and tear that could lead to other preventable service calls. • Answers to any questions you may have.

Small Appliance Repair questions, answered by experts

Plug-in appliances, such as fans, hair dryers, irons, and vacuums, can cause a circuit overload and trip your circuit breaker. Older electrical systems may not support newer appliances, or the appliances may have internal damage. You need to determine whether the issue stems from the outlet or the appliance so you know which needs to be repaired or replaced.

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.

One of the best ways to prevent costly repairs is to take good care of your microwave,  including cleaning your microwave regularly. If your microwave is covered in an embarrassing amount of gunk, there are a variety of simple tricks to get your microwave squeaky clean

Common household ingredients like lemons, vinegar, and baking soda will combat grease as effectively as harsh chemical solutions. Microwaves kept in good condition typically last about ten years.

Professional setup takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour, ensuring functionality checks before completion. Technical issues may extend this timeframe.

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.
