How much does microwave repair cost?

Microwave service — repair or over-the-range install — runs $100-$320 all-in, parts and labor included. The $100 diagnostic is part of that price, not added on top.

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.

Where in NYC do you repair microwaves?

Sprocket repairs microwaves in Manhattan below 110th Street, Brooklyn and Queens (Astoria, Long Island City, Sunnyside). In most cases a technician is at your door the same day.

Do you repair over-the-range microwaves?

Yes — over-the-range and built-in microwaves are the ones most worth fixing. Send the model number or a short video when you book: our senior expert reviews it before anyone drives out.

Do you do microwave oven repair at home?

Yes — a technician comes to your apartment in Manhattan, Brooklyn or Queens, so you don't have to carry the microwave anywhere. Built-in and over-the-range units are repaired in place; for a countertop model we'll tell you on the spot whether a repair makes sense.

What microwave oven problems can you fix?

The common ones: a microwave that won't heat food, won't start, sparks inside, makes loud noises, or has a door that won't latch or open. We confirm the exact faulty part first and quote it before any work starts.
