The average lifespan of a microwave is typically between 7 and 10 years, though this can vary. Some models may last as few as 5 years, while high-end or boutique brands can function for up to 15 years.

Several factors influence a microwave's longevity, including its make, model, and quality, as well as how frequently it is used and how well it is maintained.

To extend the life of your microwave, follow these maintenance and usage tips:

  • Clean regularly: Immediately wipe up spills and food debris. For stuck-on food, you can heat a bowl of water with a bit of lemon juice for a minute to create steam, which makes cleaning easier.

  • Maintain filters: For over-the-range microwaves, regularly clean the grease filter underneath to ensure it runs efficiently. Clean or replace other filters as needed.

  • Handle with care: Avoid slamming the door, as this can damage the door switches over time.

  • Use it safely: Never run the microwave when it's empty, and do not put metal objects or dishes with metallic trim inside, as this can damage the appliance and create a fire hazard.

  • Inspect the power cord: Periodically check the cord for any signs of damage.

DIY is possible for basic cleaning. Professional services ensure thorough inspection and safe operation.

The best type of freezer will depend on how you plan to use it. Let’s say you need lots of space to store large items or food you’ve bought in bulk. In that case, buying a deep freezer might make sense. On the other hand, if you live alone or don’t cook much at home, you’d probably be fine with a refrigerator freezer. You can always reach out to a fridge repair pro near you if you’re unsure which kind is best for your needs.
