Microwave Repair
A microwave that hums but doesn't heat, or won't start at all, usually comes down to a specific failed part inside — some safe to check yourself, some very much not (microwaves store high voltage even when unplugged).
Common microwave problems
| Problem | Likely cause | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Runs but doesn't heat | A failed magnetron, a bad diode, or a faulty high-voltage capacitor | This is a high-voltage repair — not a DIY job, even with the unit unplugged. |
| Won't start at all | A faulty door switch, a bad control board, or a power issue | We check the door switches first — they're a common failure point. |
| Sparking inside | Metal in the cavity, a damaged waveguide cover, or a failing magnetron | Stop using it immediately if you see sparking and call us. |
| Turntable not turning | A worn drive motor or a misaligned turntable ring | Usually a simple, inexpensive fix. |
| Door won't latch or close properly | A broken door latch or hinge | The microwave won't run at all if the door isn't sensed as closed — a safety feature. |
Safe checks before you call
- Make sure the door is closing and latching fully
- Check that the outlet has power and the breaker hasn't tripped
- Never open the microwave's casing yourself — it holds high voltage even unplugged
