How long should my microwave last?

• <div>A microwave can last anywhere from five to 10 years. To get the most out of this appliance, you should follow a few maintenance tips:<ul><li>Immediately clean up spills and food bits. To help with stuck-on food, heat a bowl of water with ¼ cup of lemon juice for one minute.</li><li>For over-the-range microwaves, clean the grease filter that’s underneath it. This will ensure the microwave runs efficiently.</li><li>Never put anything metal in the microwave, as it can create a fire hazard. Also, avoid dishes with metal trim for the same reason. </li><li>Avoid slamming the door. With years of use, the door switches could easily break. </li></ul></div>

What is the most common cause of microwave failure?

• <div>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.</div>

• <div><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-appliance.htm#">Appliance installation costs</a> 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:<ul><li>You need to pay for long-distance delivery.</li><li>Your installers need to maneuver up or down stairs or around tight corners.</li><li>Your appliance needs to be connected to a natural gas line or water line.</li><li>Your appliance requires extra parts for a proper connection, like an ice maker hook-up kit.</li><li>Your appliance is oversized.</li></ul></div>
