Over-the-range microwaves in Richmond kitchens work harder than most people realise β they double as the range hood, so grease and heat reach the cooling fan and control panel. That combination causes more failures here than the magnetron itself.
We repair countertop, over-the-range and built-in microwaves throughout Richmond β magnetrons, high-voltage diodes and capacitors, turntable motors, door interlock switches, touch panels and cooling fans. High-voltage components are discharged and handled to manufacturer procedure. Schedule a visit or call us directly.
Usually the magnetron, high-voltage diode or capacitor. We test which one rather than replacing all three.
No. Stop using it. A damaged waveguide cover or burnt food residue arcing inside needs attention before the next use.
Broken door hooks or a defective interlock switch. The unit deliberately stays dead for safety until it is repaired.
For over-the-range and built-in units, usually yes β replacement often means cabinet work. For low-cost countertop models we will tell you honestly if it is not.
Overheating, typically from a blocked vent or a failing cooling fan. Grease buildup is the common cause in Richmond kitchens.
Most service calls we take start with one of these symptoms. If yours is on the list, our technicians have the parts to fix it.
