My Dacor microwave drawer will not open. Can I pull it out by hand?

Do not force it, because that can strip the gears in the drawer mechanism. Turn the breaker off for a minute and try again, and check that nothing inside is wedged against the top. If it still will not move, the drawer motor or its control needs testing.

Is it worth repairing a countertop microwave in a Pineville home?

We can look at one, but a countertop microwave usually costs less to replace than to repair, and we will say so plainly. Over-the-range and built-in models are where repair more often makes sense.

My apartment microwave fan will not turn off. Is that a fault?

Some over-the-range microwaves switch the fan on automatically when they sense heat from the stove, so let the cooktop cool first. If it keeps running with the stove off, a stuck sensor, relay or control is likely. Tell your landlord, and a technician can test it.

Dacor Microwaves: What We Check First

Dacor's microwaves are almost always built-ins: microwave drawers installed under a counter or wall oven, and speed ovens that combine microwave and convection heating in a wall-oven-style cabinet. They look like part of the oven stack, so owners sometimes do not realize how different the inside is. A microwave stores high voltage in its capacitor even when unplugged, which is why this appliance is not one for home repair.

Drawer motor or gear assembly stalling the microwave drawer
Worn door interlock switch preventing the microwave from starting
Magnetron humming without heating or high-voltage diode failure
Speed oven convection element or fan failing separately from microwave

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

Vent-Hood Microwaves in Rentals and Older Kitchens

Apartment and townhome kitchens around Pineville generally have an over-the-range microwave mounted above the stove, doubling as the vent hood. In older houses, a countertop microwave or a later over-the-range addition is common, sometimes hung under cabinets that sit a little low over the burners.

Typical complaints are no heat while the light and turntable work, a door that must be pressed hard before it will start, a hood fan that will not shut off, and buttons that stop responding after a power blip. Over-the-range units also collect grease on their filters, and that grease can cook into the fan motor over time.

Countertop models are rarely worth repairing, but an over-the-range unit often is if the problem is a door switch, fan or control. Do not open the case yourself, since the capacitor can hold a high charge. The technician tests the magnetron and switches, explains the price to the owner, and remounts the unit securely.
