What is the average life expectancy of a microwave?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>How many people in your home use the appliance</p></li><li><p>How often you use the microwave</p></li><li><p>Brand and quality</p></li><li><p>Whether or not you maintain it properly</p></li><li><p>Style of microwave</p></li><li><p>Professional or DIY installation</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Will I need to remove screws to remove the oven door?

• <div><p>Although some oven doors have screws in them that hold the handle or the glass in place, you should not remove these screws. Your oven’s hinges should pull loose without the need to remove the screws. If you are repairing your oven door, though, you may need to remove some screws.</p></div>

What are the most common microwave repair problems?

• <div><p>Some of the most common microwave repair problems include magnetron failure and a plate that won’t spin. When a magnetron fails, the microwave won’t efficiently heat your food—a frustrating albeit common experience. Meanwhile, a plate that doesn’t spin won’t thoroughly heat food, even if the magnetron works.</p></div>

How long should my microwave last?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>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.</p></li><li><p>For over-the-range microwaves, clean the grease filter that’s underneath it. This will ensure the microwave runs efficiently.</p></li><li><p>Never put anything metal in the microwave, as it can create a fire hazard. Also, avoid dishes with metal trim for the same reason. </p></li><li><p>Avoid slamming the door. With years of use, the door switches could easily break. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

DO NOT USE THIS PLACE. DO NOT CALL THEM TO COME AND REPAIR/DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM WITH AN APPLIANCE! Clearly that is the only way they are making money. Here's why: We called to get our dryer repaired, and wondered since the tech was going to be there could he also price the repair of our washing...

Excellent service! Very professional. This is the second time Wayne has repaired my AC unit. Last year he replaced a switch or compressor on the unit. He came out within 24 hrs to get my unit up and running. Will definitely use him again.

Professional job with great follow up. When I ran over a nail and got a slow leak, it was repaired FREE. "Because you bought the tires here."

We have been their customer for about 13 years now. They do all of our heating, air, and plumbing services. We feel like they are very honest. If something ever goes wrong after a repair, they come out immediately to repair the issue.

I was so happy when I saw what they were able to do with my kitchen. They did a wonderful job, even doing such a nice job that my kitchen was featured in Mid-South Magazine. The man in charge kept telling me "if it's not right, you tell me and we'll fix it" and they did. They were very creative...
