How much does microwave repair cost?

Typical microwave repair is $150-$300 plus a $100 diagnostic credited to the repair.

Is it worth repairing a microwave?

Built-in microwaves over the range: usually yes — replacement is $400+ plus install. Countertop microwaves under $200: we'll honestly tell you to replace.

My microwave is sparking inside — is it dangerous?

Stop using it until it's checked. Sparking is usually a worn waveguide cover or damaged rack support — cheap fixes — but continuing to run it can burn out the magnetron, which often makes repair not worth it.

Why does my microwave run but not heat?

Most often the magnetron, high-voltage diode, or door switch. On a built-in unit that's usually worth fixing; we'll quote the exact part price before any work so you can decide.
