Common Signs You Microwave Needs Repairs
Some microwave issues are more noticeable than others, but if you observe any of the following, you might want to get your microwave checked out by the pros.
Microwave Will Not Run
If your microwave will not turn on, first make sure that is plugged in properly and that the outlet is providing electricity. Go to your electrical panel and see if the breaker has been tripped. Issues that may require repair from a certified microwave repair service include a malfunctioning door switch or a broken fuse.
Microwave Not Heating When Running
When a microwave runs, but doesn’t heat, the problem is most likely an issue with either the microwave’s high voltage diode or magnetron. The heat needed to cook food is produced by the magnetron, and the high voltage diode powers the magnetron. Although these parts can be replaced, they are hard to access within the microwave unit. An experienced Microwave repair service technician should be able to resolve the issue.
Non-Responsive Touchpad
Your touchpad allows you to program a variety of cooking functions. A faulty membrane switch or control board can cause a touchpad to become unresponsive. This is not the type of repair to do yourself because it is difficult to fix.
Tray Not Turning
Don’t let your food cook improperly by continuing to use your microwave when the tray isn’t turning. First check and see if there is a cracked or broken roller guide. The roller guide is what rests under the glass tray, and you can replace a roller guide yourself. If that isn’t the problem, the issue may a broken drive motor or drive motor coupler. A professional can assist with this repair.
Microwave Exhaust Fan Not Operating
Although an over-the-range microwave installed above your cooking range is handy, it does pose some challenging repair problems. If the exhaust fan underneath stops working, there might be an issue with clogged filters. When filters become clogged from airborne pollutants and grease, they prevent the fan from running. If filters are clear and the problem persists, the issue may be with the fan motor in the microwave. This is a job best left to the appliance repair specialists.
Microwave Makes Excessive Noise
If your microwave is making unusual or excessive noise, problems can range from a faulty drive motor, magnetron, high voltage diode, cooling fan, or roller guide. An expert may need to If your microwave is noisy and over 10 years old, it’s time to consider replacing it.
