Do you repair built-in and drawer microwaves?

Yes. Microwave drawers and trim-kit built-ins have their own mounting, slides, door switches and controls, so space in front of the unit is needed. Give us the model and serial when booking so parts can be checked before the visit.

How often should I replace the charcoal filter in a recirculating microwave?

Many manufacturers suggest roughly every six months, sooner with heavy cooking. A saturated filter stops trapping odors and grease, and the fan works harder. Metal grease screens can usually be washed by hand in hot soapy water, but the charcoal filter is replaced, not cleaned.

How often should I clean the filters on an over-the-range microwave?

Wash the metal grease filters about monthly if you cook frequently, since grease and dust load them quickly. Replace the charcoal filter on recirculating models on the schedule in your manual, commonly every several months.

My microwave runs, the light is on and the plate spins, but nothing heats. Why?

That points to the high-voltage circuit: typically the magnetron, high-voltage diode, capacitor or transformer. These parts are dangerous to test because the capacitor can hold a charge after unplugging, so this is a job for a technician.

The fan on my over-the-range microwave turns on by itself. Is that a problem?

Many models have a thermostat that starts the vent fan automatically when the cooktop below gets very hot. That protects the microwave's electronics and is normal. If the fan runs constantly with the cooktop off, the thermostat or control may need service.

Microwave Repair in Paradise: What's Different Here

Apartments and condos here mostly use over-the-range models, and many recirculate air through a charcoal filter because there's no exterior duct. Single-family homes may vent the over-the-range unit outdoors or, after a remodel, have a built-in or drawer microwave instead. Renters often add a countertop unit as well. Each installation calls for a different way of removing the unit safely, and built-ins may need trim taken off first.

Recirculating over-the-range microwaves in Paradise apartments pull cooking grease straight into their filters and fan. When the charcoal filter saturates and the grease screens clog, the fan strains and the cabinet runs hot above the range. Shared rental kitchens add slammed doors, which wear the latch and the safety interlock switches behind it. A microwave that stops heating after hard door use often points to those switches.

In a shared rental, a microwave might run with the light on and the turntable spinning while food comes out cold, a day after someone slammed the door hard. A failed interlock switch can blow the main fuse, and a burned door switch can stop heating altogether, so the door assembly is checked first. Heating faults can also come from a magnetron or diode, which are never do-it-yourself parts.

Clean the grease screens and, if the unit recirculates, check how old the charcoal filter is before the appointment. Clear the counter or cooktop below so there's room to work. A built-in or drawer microwave needs clear space in front of its cabinet. Never open the cabinet yourself, since high-voltage parts inside can hold a charge.

A safety warning before anything else

Microwaves look simple, but they contain one of the more dangerous components in any household appliance. The high-voltage section, made up of a transformer, a capacitor, a diode and the magnetron, operates at several thousand volts. The high-voltage capacitor can hold a lethal charge even after the microwave has been unplugged for some time. Do not remove the outer cabinet or try to test internal parts yourself. Everything in this guide that a homeowner can do is done from the outside, with the door open or the unit unplugged.

For over-the-range microwaves, there is a second safety point: the unit is heavy and hangs from a wall plate and bolts through the cabinet above. Removing and rehanging one is a two-person job, best done by someone who has done it before.
