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’t serve any purpose without a functioning magnetron, so not only is this the most common repair, but it’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>

What are the signs that a microwave is going bad?

• <div><p>The most obvious sign that it’s time to repair or replace your microwave is that it is no longer heating food. If you notice your food coming out cold or not as warm as it used to, call a small appliance repair technician for help. </p><p>Some other signs your microwave is in need of service include:</p><ul><li><p>It’s making strange noises during operation.</p></li><li><p>The interior plate no longer spins.</p></li><li><p>You notice strange smells or see smoke.</p></li><li><p>It’s close to or more than eight years old.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How long do oven or stovetop repairs take?

• <div><p>Most repairs take 1-3 hours, though complex electrical or gas issues may require additional time.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between an inverter and a convection microwave?

• <div><p>A convection microwave has two different modes that enable it to operate as a microwave or a convection oven. Inverter microwaves specifically use inverter technology that makes them more effective and able to evenly heat food at a rapid pace. Some convection microwaves use inverter technology, too&mdash;the two don&rsquo;t have to be mutually exclusive.</p></div>

Q: Is a microwave a hazardous item?

• <div><p>Most local governments classify microwaves as hazardous household electronic waste items that are bad for the environment. This is why you could receive a fine for improperly disposing of a microwave in your normal curbside garbage collection or a landfill. Often, state law requires the hazardous components to be removed and safely disposed of before the item is recycled as scrap metal.</p></div>
