Microwave Repair
Microwave ovens are essential for most people, and when they break down, you want them fixed fast. Here are some common microwave problems and their causes that we can repair for you:
Microwave Stopped Working:
First, check if it’s unplugged or if the door isn’t closing fully. If it still doesn’t work, it could be a blown fuse caused by power surges, lightning, or slamming the door. If replacing the fuse doesn’t help, the door switch might be faulty and need replacement.
Microwave Sparks When Cooking:
Ensure there’s no metal inside, like aluminum foil or utensils, and that the microwave is clean. If it still sparks, the cause might be a shorted diode or defective stirrer, leading to concentrated heat and sparks, which will need replacing.
Turntable Isn’t Moving:
Check if the turntable is properly aligned. If it’s in place but still not moving, the problem could be a worn-out turntable drive bushing or a faulty tray motor.
Food Isn’t Heating Up:
If your microwave makes a loud buzzing noise and doesn’t heat food, you might have a defective magnetron, capacitor, or diode, which will need repair or replacement.
Touchpad Isn’t Working Properly:
If the touchpad works intermittently or not at all, it could be due to damage from water or pests, which thrive in the warm environment of the microwave. In this case, the touchpad needs to be replaced.
