The independent appliance repair shop across the Pacific Northwest

Microwave Repair — Book a Visit Today

We repair microwaves across the Portland area, countertop, built-in, over-the-range and drawer models from all major brands, as an independent shop. Call us with the model number and a quick description of what it's doing, and we'll sort out the next step with you. Microwaves quit in a handful of predictable ways: the turntable stops turning, the keypad goes dead, or food spins three minutes and comes out cold. Behind those symptoms sit magnetrons, high-voltage diodes, door interlock switches, drive motors and control boards. Over-the-range units add vent fans and greasy filters to the list. A visit starts with us listening to what you noticed. Then we discharge the capacitor and test components in order instead of guessing. Some repairs finish that same visit, others wait on a part.

Microwave Repair — residential microwave being serviced

The microwave symptoms we hear most

"It runs but the food stays cold" Magnetron, high-voltage diode, capacitor or transformer failure in the cooking circuit.
"The plate quit spinning" Turntable drive motor, a stripped coupler, or debris jammed under the roller ring.
"Nothing happens when I press start" Door interlock switches, a blown internal fuse, or a failed touchpad membrane.
"Loud buzzing and a burnt smell" Shorted diode, arcing waveguide cover, or grease buildup igniting inside the cavity.
"The fan over the stove roars but pulls nothing" Clogged charcoal or grease filters, a damper stuck shut, or a worn vent blower motor.

Safe things to check first

Worth a look before you call — sometimes it saves you the visit.

After the visit, in their words

“No upsell talk at all. He fixed the drain pump and pointed out a hose I should watch, that was it.”

Jeff D.Ontario, CA

“The scheduler actually listened to the symptoms and sent the guy with the right parts.”

Priya N.Lancaster, CA

“Dishwasher stopped mid-cycle full of water. They walked me through draining it on the phone before the visit even happened.”

Microwave Repair — quick answers

How it works

Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call us or fill out the form and describe what you're hearing, seeing or smelling. Brand and rough age help. We ask a few questions up front so the likely parts ride along in the van.
Step 2
We come look
A technician shows up in the window we set, pulls the unit out and tests it. Tight basement stairs and low bungalow ceilings are ordinary to us. You'll hear what's wrong before anything gets replaced.
Step 3
You decide, we repair
We walk you through the fix and what it involves, then wait for your go-ahead. Most common parts are already on the truck. If something has to be ordered, we tell you the plan and follow up.

Why homeowners call us

Damp-house know-howPortland laundry rooms grow mildew and basements stay wet. We know what moisture does to dryer vents, washer parts and control boards, so before we call a repair done we look at the room around the machine too.
Unhurried visitsA rushed diagnostic misses things. We take the extra minutes to pull the panel, look behind the drum and test the drain line. Then we tell you plainly what failed and whether fixing it makes sense on that appliance.
Every major brandWe're an independent shop, so the whole kitchen and laundry room is fair game: washers, dryers, refrigerators, ranges, ovens, dishwashers, freezers and disposals. A twenty-year-old unit gets the same careful look as a new digital one.
Wide service reachHomeowners in five Western states reach us the same way. City bungalow, suburban split-level, a house down a gravel road. We set a visit and arrive with tools and common parts ready.
All major brands, gas & electricOne independent crew for Whirlpool, Samsung, GE, LG, Maytag, Bosch and more.
Straight answersWhen a repair doesn't make sense, we tell you, sometimes before we even roll a truck.
