Microwave Oven Repair Service

The microwave might lack electrical power, such as if it has become unplugged or the power circuit has tripped the breaker. The unit’s settings, such as activating safety or lock mode or warm or low power levels, may have inadvertently been changed. Some models have a timer or delayed start function that triggers cooking cycles, which could prevent the oven from operating. Other common oven issues involve damage to the microwave’s internal parts, such as the door switch or magnetron.

The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety advises against DIY microwave repairs due to the risk of serious injury like burns or electrocution from high voltage and capacitors. It's safer to consult a qualified professional for residential appliance repair to assess whether repair or replacement is more suitable.

Always review the safety guidelines and troubleshooting tips in the original product guide provided by the manufacturer before requesting service for a microwave oven. One simple way to test its performance is to heat a mug or other microwave-safe container filled with water on maximum power for 60 seconds. In most cases, the water should begin boiling during this time.

A new microwave oven typically lasts about seven years under normal indoor conditions, but heavy use or poor maintenance could shorten the lifespan to around four or five years. Premium brands may last 10 to 15 years or more.
