Small Appliance Repair questions, answered by experts

Outside of deep cleaning your oven and keeping your stovetop sparkling, you should not attempt DIY oven repairs, especially if you have a gas oven. Even the most straightforward repair can be dangerous if not done correctly, and that’s not a risk worth taking. It’s always best to hire an oven repair specialist to assess the repair needed for your oven and appropriately (and safely) take care of it for you.

Appliance installation costs around $200 on average, and most installations total between $75 and $600. Some cost factors to consider that can increase your price toward the higher end of that range include the following:

You need to pay for long-distance delivery.
Your installers need to maneuver up or down stairs or around tight corners.
Your appliance needs to be connected to a natural gas line or water line.
Your appliance requires extra parts for a proper connection, like an ice maker hook-up kit.
Your appliance is oversized.

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.

The cost to have a microwave vent installed starts around $150, but may exceed $300 if you have to cut through cabinets or install a new line to your ductwork.
