Microwaves quit in a few predictable ways. The magnetron gives out and the plate spins while nothing heats. A door switch fails and the unit plays dead. Control boards get flaky after a power blip, and over-the-range models cook their own fan motors when grease builds up. On a visit, we open the cabinet, discharge the high-voltage capacitor, and test the switches, diode, and board in order. Then we tell you plainly what part failed and whether repair makes sense for that unit. Built-in and drawer models are usually worth fixing. Countertop units, sometimes not. We work on all major brands as an independent shop, anywhere in Texas. Call us and describe what it's doing.

Worth a look before you call — sometimes it saves you the visit.
Often yes on built-in, drawer, and over-the-range units, since replacing those means cabinet work. We test the high-voltage side first and tell you which part failed. If the repair doesn't make sense for that unit, we say so.
The capacitor inside holds a dangerous charge even unplugged, sometimes for a long while. We discharge it before touching anything. That single step is the reason microwave work belongs to someone with the right tools and habits.
Yes. We pull built-ins and trim-kit models out carefully, work on the bench or in place, and reset them square so the door seals right. Over-the-range units come down the same way, with support for the weight.
Usually the membrane behind the panel has worn through, or the control board lost a trace. We test the pad and board separately so you don't pay for the wrong part. Sometimes both go together on older units.
Not directly, but scale and mineral film build on the interior and around the door gasket in a lot of Texas homes. That grit keeps the door from seating, which stresses the interlock switches. Wiping the frame regularly helps.
Brand, roughly how old it is, whether it's countertop or installed, and exactly what it does. Sparks, a burning smell, no display, or heats-then-stops all point different directions. Details on the phone mean the right parts on the truck.
Call us or fill out the form. Describe what you hear, smell, or see. Noise, leak, error code, burning odor. Give us the brand and rough age if you know them.
A technician arrives with common parts on the truck. We test the machine instead of guessing. Then we explain what failed, in plain words, and what the repair takes before anything gets opened up.
Nothing gets replaced without your go-ahead. Most repairs finish the same visit. If a part must be ordered, we tell you straight and set a return time that works for your day.
Ask these of anyone you let into your home — us included. Call and we'll answer all five before you book anything.
