Can you imagine life without a microwave? Didn’t think so. We understand that when you’re in need of microwave repair, it feels like an emergency even if it’s not.
Microwaves used to be huge. Thankfully, Amana began building them small enough to fit on our countertops starting in the 1960s. Now, they’re easily built into kitchen cabinets or mounted over the stove
Microwave Repair Issues
Power Issues
A microwave that isn’t getting power or won’t start is a microwave that won’t pop popcorn. In most cases, power issues can come from a bad fuse or a problem with the power cord itself.
Heating Issues
If your microwave runs but doesn’t heat, there are a couple different potential problems. The problem could be with a microswitch. Also, a bad magnetron can cause issues with heating.
Control Issues
Touch pads and control boards can go bad on microwaves causing the microwave to act erratically or not at all. We have experienced appliance techs that can diagnose the problem and help determine if the microwave is worth fixing.
Repair vs Replace
Most microwaves aren’t worth fixing. Replacements are cheap enough that there aren’t many reasons to keep your old one. If you’re not sure, give us a call and we can help guide you.
Different Styles
Countertop Microwaves
Countertop microwaves are smaller and cheaper than built-in models. It’s pretty rare that this style of microwave is worth fixing.
Mounted/Built-In Microwaves
Mounted or built-in microwaves are installed in the kitchen cabinetry, typically over the range. These pricier models are occasionally worth repairing depending on the problem.
Microwave Repair Process
Service Call
The service call for in-home microwave repair is $95. Schedule your appointment by calling us at 816-436-2210 or put in a service request on our website. Typically, calls are scheduled with one-hour arrival windows. At that time, our tech will call ahead and arrive ready to help.
Diagnosis
With the description of the symptoms you provide, our tech will begin testing your microwave to determine the cause of the unit’s issues. Once diagnosed, you’ll get a full parts and labor warranty that also includes the cost of the service call.
Parts Ordering
Repairing your microwave in one trip is always our goal. Sometimes, however, parts are needed that aren’t stocked in our service vehicles. In these scenarios, our tech will give you a general time frame of when we expect to see the parts and return to finish the job. Most parts are in-stock with our supplier and only take a day or two. If a second trip is needed to finish your repair, no extra service call charge is applied.
Return Trip
After your part arrives, our office staff will call you to set up a return trip. Once that’s scheduled, our tech will return and finish up the job. You don’t pay a thing until all the work is completed.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
Our labor comes with a 90-day warranty. Parts are warrantied through the manufacturer and time frames vary. We want you to be 100% satisfied with your choice for microwave repair. If we don’t get it right the first time, there’s no service call charge for coming back out.
