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: How much does it cost to repair appliances?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-kitchen-appliance-repairs-cost.htm">cost to repair an appliance</a> varies depending on the make, model, parts needing repair, and labor time to repair each kind of appliance. Labor costs may range from <b>$40 to $120 per hour</b> during business hours, but will likely increase on holidays and for emergencies outside of normal business hours. On average, common appliance repair costs include:</p><ul><li><p>Dishwasher: $160&ndash;$300</p></li><li><p>Dryer: $100&ndash;$400</p></li><li><p>Freezer: $90&ndash;$500</p></li><li><p>Garbage disposal: $70&ndash;$250</p></li><li><p>Microwave: $50&ndash;$400</p></li><li><p>Oven, cooktop, range: $100&ndash;$500</p></li><li><p>Refrigerator: $200&ndash;$300</p></li><li><p>Washing machine: $50&ndash;$450</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do you need an electrician to install an over-the-range microwave?

• <div><p>If there&rsquo;s already a suitable outlet near the range, you likely won&rsquo;t need an electrician to install an over-the-range microwave. However, if there isn&rsquo;t an existing outlet or the current one doesn&rsquo;t meet the microwave&rsquo;s power needs, you&rsquo;ll probably need an electrician to install a new outlet. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to install a microwave?

• <div><p>Installing a microwave can take a pro anywhere between one and three hours. Countertop units are the quickest and easiest for most DIYers, while built-in, drawer, and vented over-the-range microwaves take longer. You may be looking at a three-hour install if you need electrical or custom cabinetry work.</p></div>

Q: What is the most common cause of microwave failure?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t serve any purpose without a functioning magnetron, so not only is this the most common repair, but it&rsquo;s also the most important. </p><p>Repairing a broken magnetron usually costs between <b>$100 and $200</b> or <b>$175 on average</b>. 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.</p></div>

Had a gutter system installed this fall. The customer service reps were friendly and knowledgeable. After install, saw a small concern in which they immediately came out and addressed. Problem was more the roof than the gutter system actually.

"American Home Shield (AHS) warranty is replacing my broken microwave with a new one. I received the new microwave on 11/11/2020 and notified AHS it was in my possession. Part of the warranty contract includes the installation of the new microwave. AHS typically assigns contractors themselves. However, this time AHS contracted with C & R Services with a dispatch number on 11/13/2020 for C & R to assign a local contractor to do the install. After two weeks of waiting and not being contacted by C & R or a contractor, I called C & R to follow up on the status. They said it would be 1 to 2 weeks from the date they received the dispatch from AHS. I informed them it had been 2 weeks in which they replied that it would be another 2 weeks. As of today, 12/11/2020, 4 weeks from the date C & R received the dispatch, I have not been contacted by C & R or a contractor. C & R's lack of communication and customer service is absurd. AHS informed me that they do not have any authority over C & R."

"This is the first online review I've ever written -- my experience with this company was that bad. Three aspects that deserve attention: 1) I placed an order and tried to cancel six minutes later. Turns out they don't accept cancellations. 2) I couldn't find a phone number, so I had to work the return/refund by email. The exchange was painful -- so unhelpful I felt like I was interacting with a bad chatbot. 3) I ended up eating shipping costs (expected) and got hit for a 50% restocking fee (unexpected) because I refused the package instead of paying to ship it back. Didn't matter that it went to the correct address, was clearly labeled, and had prior return authorization. So I ended up with a $21 refund on a $60 order, and a lesson learned about where not to buy appliance parts."
