Common Microwave Problems We Fix

Not Heating

Microwave runs but produces no heat — magnetron, diode, or capacitor failure
Weak heating — magnetron degradation
Thermal fuse blown (microwave completely dead)

Sparking & Noise

Sparking or arcing inside microwave — damaged waveguide cover, rack support, or magnetron
Loud buzzing or humming noise

Mechanical & Controls

Turntable not rotating — turntable motor replacement
Door not latching — door switch replacement (3-switch assembly)
Control panel or touchpad unresponsive

Over-the-Range Microwave Repair — Worth It Every Time

Over-the-range microwaves cost $400–$1,200+ to replace and require cabinet modification for installation. Repair almost always makes financial sense. Most magnetron replacements cost $200–$320 — a fraction of replacement.

⚠️ DIY Microwave Repair Is Dangerous

Microwave capacitors store lethal voltage (2,000V+) even when unplugged. Always use a certified technician. SoloFix technicians follow strict discharge protocols on every service call.
