The reasons why a microwave oven breaks down can be varied: from manufacturing defects and power surges to careless handling of the door and other factors. Due to the design features, it is quite difficult to determine the source of the problem at home. Therefore, in case of any serious malfunction, it is recommended to call a specialist and entrust him with the repair.

Types of microwave oven breakdowns

Microwave oven repair is most often associated with the following problems:

• Breakdown of the mica plate. Occurs due to the accumulation of fat, high humidity or the use of metal utensils. Continuing to use a microwave with this problem may damage more expensive components;
• Destruction of enamel. May be the result of a manufacturing defect or careless handling, including mechanical damage;
• The oven does not heat. The problem is usually due to a faulty magnetron, relay or fuse. The device can continue to perform other functions. Causes may include voltage surges, high humidity and other factors;
• The microwave oven does not turn on. Often the problem is a damaged power cord or microswitch. Modern models such as LG, Supra or Panasonic rarely encounter such problems. These faults are usually easy to fix;
• The plate has stopped rotating. This is due to damage to the pan motor caused by grease, water or dirt. If the pan does not rotate, the load on the engine increases, which can cause it to burn out and increase the cost of repairs. Sparks may pose a health hazard;
• Touch keyboard malfunction. Touch keyboards fail over time, requiring replacement of the panel or keys. Problems may be caused by disturbances in the electrical network. Sometimes individual buttons fail, but replacing the entire panel may be necessary.

By following manufacturers’ recommendations for using household appliances, you can significantly extend their service life. However, there are factors beyond users’ control, such as power surges or manufacturing defects. In such situations, professionals will help restore the functionality of the device quickly, inexpensively and with a guarantee.

What are the dangers of repairing microwaves yourself?

We strongly do not recommend repairing microwave ovens yourself, since restoring their functionality requires experience, knowledge and special equipment. In addition, DIY repairs can be very dangerous. When working with an open microwave oven, you must strictly follow safety rules. There are components inside the device that can accumulate charge and transmit it to a person even when the equipment is unplugged. This can not only harm your health, but also lead to serious consequences.

Frequently Asked Questions about Microwave Oven Repair in Gainesville

Why does the microwave oven not heat well?

Low voltage, faulty microswitch, blown fuse and other reasons may affect the heating efficiency. The problem can only be accurately determined on site.

What is mica and why change it?

The mica plate protects the waveguide from dirt and grease. If you do not keep the chamber clean, your microwave oven will quickly fail.

Why did the microwave oven stop responding to controls?

With touch control, the fault is most likely in the control unit. The reason depends on the device model. Call a specialist for diagnosis.

What should I do if the microwave continues to operate after the time has expired?

The control unit is responsible for turning the heating stages on and off. If your microwave won’t turn off, the problem may be with the waveguide, microswitches, or other components.

Why does my microwave turn off two minutes after it starts?

The parts probably overheated and the thermal switch interrupted the program.

Why is there an extraneous sound when the microwave oven is operating?

Unusual noise may be caused by broken fan fasteners. Do not use the device if noise occurs and call a professional.

What to do if the microwave oven does not open?

Do not try to force it open. The problem may be with the microswitches or the control unit. Only a master can carry out the correct diagnosis.

How to fix a non-rotating pan?

The rotation of the tray is ensured by a small motor at the bottom of the device. You can try replacing it, but we don’t recommend doing it yourself.

How to replace the backlight in a microwave oven?

To replace the light bulb, unplug the device, remove the housing and replace the light bulb. We do not recommend replacing it yourself.
