Is it worth repairing my over-the-range microwave in Locust?

Often, especially if the failure is a door switch, fuse or fan. A failed magnetron on an older unit can approach the cost of replacement, and we will say so. You get the price before deciding.

My microwave in Stanfield runs but does not heat. Can I fix it myself?

Please do not open it. The high-voltage parts inside are dangerous even when unplugged. A technician can test it safely, or replacement may be the better value for a countertop model.

When a microwave repair makes sense out here

Given the drive to western Stanly County, a visit for a countertop microwave rarely makes sense, and we will tell you so on the phone. Over-the-range models are different, since they also serve as the range hood and light and require removal and installation to replace. Common faults include door switches, blown internal fuses, failed magnetrons and vent fans that wear out.

Try the breaker, unplug the unit for a minute, and test with a cup of water. Clean the grease filters underneath. Do not open the cabinet, because the high-voltage capacitor can hold a charge after unplugging. If we come out, we test the parts, give you the price and schedule on a route day when possible. Built-in units in newer Locust kitchens are the ones most often worth that trip.
