My Thor microwave drawer will not open. Can I force it?

Don't force it, because that can strip the drive gears. Turn the breaker off and on to reset it, then try again. If it still will not move, the drive motor, switches or control board need testing.

My over-the-range microwave fan in a Northlake-area home is loud. Can you fix it?

Usually, yes. Clean the grease filters first, since heavy buildup strains the fan. If the noise continues, the fan motor or its mount is likely worn, and on many models we can replace it without removing the microwave from the wall.

The keypad on my microwave stopped working after a storm in Northwest Charlotte. What happened?

A surge or rapid power flickers can damage the control board or keypad membrane. Try turning off the breaker for a few minutes first. If it still does not respond, we test the board and keypad and tell you whether the repair is worth it for the unit's age.

Thor Microwaves: What We Check First

Thor's microwave is usually a drawer model, installed below a countertop or in an island, rather than a countertop or over-the-range unit. The drawer opens and closes on a motorized drive when you press the panel, and a set of interlock switches confirms it is fully closed before the magnetron is allowed to run. That added mechanism is what separates its repair calls from a typical microwave's.

Drawer drive motor or gears stalling partway open
Interlock switch failure stopping cycles from starting
Touch panel unresponsive after a storm power surge
Magnetron or high-voltage diode failure leaving food cold

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our Thor microwave repair guide.

Over-the-Range Fans and Storm-Sensitive Panels

Over-the-range microwaves are standard in the newer homes around Northlake and in many updated kitchens along the Beatties Ford Road corridor. Because they vent the cooktop, their fans run a lot and their grease filters load up quickly. A fan that grinds, slows or will not shut off is a common sign of a worn motor. Door switches and turntable motors also wear with daily use. Touch panels on these units can fail after a storm outage or surge, even when the microwave itself still has power, which happens more often on the wooded lots out this way.

Safe Steps and When to Call Us

Do not remove the microwave's cover, since the high-voltage capacitor can hold a charge long after unplugging. Reset its breaker, clean or replace the grease filters and check that the door closes firmly. If it still will not heat or the panel stays dark, we test the switches, fuse, fan, magnetron and control and give you the price before any repair.
