Microwave Notes for This Area
An over-the-range microwave doubles as the range hood in most condo and apartment kitchens along Route 1 and near Huntington Metro, so a failure takes away both the oven and the exhaust fan. Many of these units recirculate air through a charcoal filter rather than ducting it outdoors. In remodeled single-family kitchens, built-in drawer and trim-kit microwaves are increasingly common, and they come out of the cabinet differently.
Running down a microwave that hums but won't heat
The high-voltage capacitor can hold a dangerous charge after the plug is pulled, so it is discharged before any testing begins. A unit that is completely dead points first to the line fuse, and a blown fuse usually means one of the door interlock switches failed, so all of them are checked together. If the turntable and light run but food stays cold, the next checks are the high-voltage diode, the capacitor, the transformer windings and the magnetron in turn. A display that flickers or ignores touches leads to the membrane keypad and control board. Noise often comes from the hood fan motor or a worn turntable coupler.
Mounting and venting in condo kitchens
An over-the-range unit hangs from a wall plate and bolts through the cabinet above, and lifting it down usually needs a clear counter and range top. Some buildings duct the hood to an outside wall or up through a shaft; others never connected it. If grease builds up fast or the fan seems weak, mention which arrangement you have.

Microwave Repair: Your Questions
Brief answers to what customers most often ask us. Don't see yours? Ask when you call, or add it to the notes when you book online.
Still have a question?
Get in touch with the brand, the symptom and, if you can find it, the model number. Some things we can answer right away; others need a technician in front of the machine.
It depends on the failure. Door switches, fuses, diodes and fan motors are modest repairs on a unit that is otherwise sound. A failed magnetron or main control board on an older model can approach the cost of a new one, and we will tell you that before any part is ordered.
