Q: Who fixes small appliances?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/small-appliance-repair/">local small appliance repair company</a> or technician is your best bet if you&rsquo;re looking for someone to service a small appliance. Homeowners more often look for major appliance repair specialists, meaning the demand is higher, as is the number of companies that handle the repairs. If you&rsquo;re looking to repair a toaster, microwave, blender, or other small appliance, you should hire a technician that specializes in small appliances.</p></div>

Q: Should you tip an appliance removal company?

• <div><p>Most professional appliance removal companies will not expect a tip, but offering one is a good way to show appreciation for a job well done. A tip of <b>10% to 20%</b> is a good idea if your professionals are working in the rain or snow, if they take extra care not to damage your walls and furniture in the removal process, or if they need to maneuver the appliance through tight spaces or up or down stairs to get it out of your home.</p></div>

Q: What is the most expensive internal part of a microwave?

• <div><p>The magnetron and the transformer are typically the most expensive parts of a microwave. Replacing a magnetron can cost anywhere between <b>$100 and $200</b>, depending on the make and model of the microwave, and replacing a transformer costs between <b>$100 and $300</b>. When these parts fail, it&rsquo;s often preferred to simply replace the microwave entirely.</p></div>

Q: What's the difference between an air fryer and deep fryer?

• <div><p>Air fryers rely on hot air circulating around the food to create that signature crispy finish from frying, while deep fryers cook food in hot oil that has been heated to a specific temperature. Air fryers require little or no oil, while deep fryers require a lot of oil, much of which is absorbed into the food. Both methods cook food so it comes out crispy and juicy, but they don&rsquo;t taste the same&mdash;deep-fried foods are often coated in a batter before being fried.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my microwave fuse is blown?

• <div><p>If your microwave is on the fritz and you suspect the fuse has blown, you can check it to confirm it&rsquo;s the source of the problem. Start by disassembling the panel and carefully checking the fuse filament or ceramic components. If your microwave uses a glass fuse, you&rsquo;ll likely see discoloration and a melted filament. If your microwave contains a ceramic fuse, you&rsquo;ll need to use a multimeter continuity tester to check if there&rsquo;s continuity.</p></div>
