Our Lake Wylie microwave stopped heating after a thunderstorm. Is it worth repairing?

If it is an over-the-range or built-in model, often yes. Storm surges can damage the control or a high-voltage component. We test both and tell you the price before any work.

Do you repair countertop microwaves in Clover?

We can, but replacement is usually more sensible for a basic countertop model. If you have a larger or higher-end countertop unit, we will diagnose it and tell you honestly whether the repair is worth it.

When repair makes sense here

A basic countertop microwave in a Clover kitchen is usually cheaper to replace than to repair. Over-the-range and built-in units in Lake Wylie homes are a different matter, because they double as the range vent or fit a specific cabinet opening. Replacing one means remounting and matching the space, so a repair is often the better value.

Storm surges on rural and lakeside power lines can damage microwave control boards, and a blank display after a summer thunderstorm is a frequent result. If the keypad stops responding after an outage, switch the breaker off for a few minutes and back on before calling, since that clears a confused control more often than you might expect.

Safety and the repair visit

Never open a microwave's outer cabinet. The high-voltage capacitor can hold a dangerous charge even when unplugged. Safe checks are limited to the breaker, the door latch and the grease filters. The technician tests the door switches, fuse, high-voltage components and controls, explains the cause and quotes the repair first.
