Same-Day Microwave Repair in Houston
Built-in and over-the-range microwaves are worth repairing rather than tearing out of the cabinet. We repair them in homes across Houston, with same-day appointments when a slot is open.
Common Microwave Problems We Fix
-
Runs but doesn't heat food
Usually a high-voltage part such as the diode, the capacitor or the magnetron. These hold a charge and are not a DIY repair.
-
Turntable doesn't turn
A worn turntable motor or coupler, or the tray sitting off its drive.
-
Keypad doesn't respond
A worn membrane keypad or a control board fault. Sometimes only certain buttons stop working.
-
Sparks or arcing inside
Stop using it. A damaged waveguide cover or a burned spot on the cavity paint can cause arcing.
-
Stops when you open the door, or won't start
The door switches. A microwave won't run unless every switch says the door is closed.
-
Vent fan or light out on an over-the-range model
The vent motor, a bulb, or the switch that controls them.

What to Expect on Your Service Call

Before we arrive
Unplug the microwave if it sparked or smelled burned, and leave it in place. Don't open the cabinet: the high-voltage parts can hold a charge.

Finding the fault
The technician discharges the high-voltage circuit safely, then tests the door switches, the turntable drive, the keypad and the heating parts.

Your decision
You hear what is wrong and what the repair involves before any work starts. If a part has to be ordered, we book the return visit with you.

Clear Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about microwave repair in Houston.
Can I fix a microwave that won't heat myself?
We don't recommend it. The capacitor inside can hold a dangerous charge even when the microwave is unplugged.
How much does microwave repair cost in Houston?
It depends on the fault and the part, so we don't quote prices online or over the phone. The technician explains the cost once the fault is found, before any work starts.
Is a built-in microwave worth repairing?
Usually, yes. Replacing a built-in or over-the-range unit often means new trim or cabinet work, so a repair is the simpler choice.
My microwave sparked. Is it safe to use?
No. Stop using it and unplug it. Sparks usually mean a damaged cover or cavity, which needs repair before it's used again.
