Microwave Oven Repair

If your microwave breaks, is it worth repairing? The answer depends on:

1. How old your microwave is.
2. How serious the repair issue is.
3. How much your microwave originally cost.

If yours is newer and the problem is less expensive to fix than to replace, then a repair is a good idea. An older appliance with a more expensive need is better to replace. A lower end microwave is probably more easily replaced as well.

The average cost to repair a microwave is about $130, but of course this is going to vary by what you need repaired.

• Touchpad Repair - $10 - $20

• Burned-Out Magnetron - $100 - $200

• Control Board Repair - $100 - $500

At the end of the day, if you’re concerned about spending money, consider that a repair is much cheaper than a new microwave, which might cost a few hundred more than fixing it, depending on what model you’re interested in.

So much can go wrong with a microwave, but the most common cause of a microwave that has stopped working is a blown fuse in the appliance. Other issues include:

• Faulty door latch.
• Magnetron issue.
• Tripped circuit breaker/blown fuse on your panel from a serious malfunction.

These problems are best left to a professional to inspect and repair, as with anything that is a potential electrical concern. Plus, you may void any warranty you may have if you attempt any kind of repair yourself. AAA Appliance is here to help. Speak with one of our experts today.

The interior walls are the best area to look for a serial number. The serial number is printed on the inside of select microwave devices by most microwave companies. Look left to the left-hand wall when you open the microwave door. It's normally in the middle or next to the door.

Most microwave manufacturers print the model and serial number on the underside of microwaves meant to be installed above your stove or counter. This allows you to see the serial number of an above-the-range microwave without having to open it or flip it over. Check the underside of your microwave if it was designed to be mounted.

Turn your microwave around if you can't locate the serial number inside or on the underside. On the reverse, there are normally stickers with essential information. A high voltage rating and hazard warnings will be there, as well as a model and serial number if they aren’t already someplace else.
