What to Know Before Scheduling
Built-in and over-the-range microwaves can involve installation and access considerations. Have the model number ready and describe whether the problem happens on every cycle. Stop using a unit that sparks, smells burned or has a damaged door. Internal microwave components can retain dangerous voltage; leave internal diagnosis to a qualified technician.

Microwave Repair Questions
Is my microwave worth repairing?
That depends on its age, installation, replacement cost and diagnosis. A built-in unit may involve different replacement costs than a countertop model. Ask for repair options before deciding.
Can you repair a microwave that runs but does not heat?
Describe that symptom when scheduling. Several components can cause it, so an inspection is needed before a repair can be recommended.
What should I have ready when I call?
Have the brand, model number, installation type and a description of the fault ready. Mention any sparking, burning smell or door damage.
