Appliance Solutions repairs built-in, over-the-range and drawer microwaves in Woodbridge and across Northern Virginia. A microwave holds a dangerous electrical charge even when it is unplugged, so this is one repair to leave to a technician. The visit starts with a $75 diagnostic and a price you approve first.

What the technician checks on a microwave repair visit

The diagnostic is a proper test, not a guess. On a microwave call the technician works through these checks until the failed part is confirmed:

• Door interlock switches and the door latch
• High-voltage fuse, diode and capacitor
• Magnetron
• Turntable motor and coupler
• Touchpad, control board and display
• Vent fan and grease filter on over-the-range models

How much does microwave repair cost?

Every visit starts with the $75 diagnostic. Once the technician has found the fault you get one price for the whole repair, parts and labor together. Most microwave repairs come to $150–$300 in total, and the $75 is credited toward that price if you go ahead. If you decide not to repair, the diagnostic is all you pay.

Repair or replace your microwave?

A microwave typically lasts 7 to 10 years. A countertop microwave that stops heating is often cheaper to replace than repair. An over-the-range or built-in microwave is a different story: replacement means new mounting and venting work, so a door switch, diode or magnetron repair usually wins. A useful rule: if the repair costs less than half the price of a comparable new microwave and the rest of the machine is sound, repair it. Our appliance lifespan guide explains how to decide.

Microwave oven repair by a trained technician

Microwave oven repair needs a trained technician, because the high-voltage capacitor inside can hold a dangerous charge even when the microwave is unplugged. Our microwave repair service covers over-the-range microwaves, built-in microwaves and microwave drawers from GE, Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, KitchenAid, Bosch and Wolf.

The most common call is a microwave not heating while the light, turntable and fan all work. That usually means a failed door switch, a diode or the magnetron. Our microwave not heating guide explains what is safe to check and what is not.
