Microwave repair in Miami and South Florida

The magnetron has failed — it is the part that actually generates the microwave energy and it is a wear item with a 7 to 10 year typical life. Symptoms are exactly what you described: turntable spins, lights work, fan runs, but food stays cold. Magnetron replacement is $250 to $420 depending on brand. On a unit older than 10 years we will tell you straight whether replacement makes more sense.

Built-in and over-the-range microwave repairs run $180 to $420 including parts and labor. Door switches, turntable motors, and fan motors are on the lower end; magnetrons and high-voltage capacitors sit at the upper end. The $59 service call is free with an approved repair.

Yes — built-in (cabinet-mounted), over-the-range (OTR with combined hood vent), microwave drawers (Sharp, Wolf, Thermador), and countertop units. Built-in and drawer units take more access labor because of the cabinet trim and bracket mounting, which we quote up front.

Stop using it immediately. Internal sparking is almost always a damaged waveguide cover (the small mica or plastic panel inside, easily replaced) or a failing magnetron arcing to ground. Less commonly it is metal contamination on the cavity walls. Continued use damages the magnetron permanently. Call (754) 345-4515 for a same-day diagnostic.

Most common cause is a failed membrane keypad — the conductive contacts behind the buttons wear out after 8 to 12 years of use. Less common is a control board failure where the main board no longer reads the keypad input. Membrane swaps are quicker and cheaper. We diagnose which it is on a $59 service call.

Door latch assemblies, hinges, and the interior door switches that confirm the door is closed — yes, those are all repairable parts. A cracked door glass or a bent door frame on an over-the-range unit is sometimes worth replacing the whole microwave instead. We quote both options honestly.

Yes — including the wall mounting plate, cabinet bracket, exhaust vent connection (recirculating or ducted), and electrical hookup. Install runs $195 to $295 depending on whether the wall mount needs reinforcement or new ducting. We haul away the old unit on the same visit.

Three usual suspects: the turntable motor below the cavity floor has failed (the most common cause), the roller guide ring under the glass tray is missing or broken, or the coupler that connects the motor shaft to the tray is cracked. All three are inexpensive fixes — motors stock for GE, Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, and Sharp.

Yes, same-day and next-morning slots are usually available across Miami-Dade and Broward when you call before noon at (754) 345-4515. Built-in and over-the-range units get priority because removing them takes more lead time than a countertop swap.

Countertop microwaves typically run 7 to 10 years. Over-the-range and built-in models last 10 to 15 years because they get less rough handling and are usually cooled by a real exhaust fan. Magnetrons are the limiting part — once they go, the math on a $300-plus repair against a $500 replacement gets close.

Yes — Sharp KB6 series, Wolf MD30, Thermador MD24 microwave drawers all in our regular service mix. Drawer units have a more complex track and door system than over-the-range units and we send senior technicians on those calls. Parts often order in 2 to 4 business days because they are brand-specific.

Tiered parts coverage plus a 90-day labor warranty. Parts we install are covered up to 10 years on sealed-system welds, up to 2 years on mechanical parts, and up to 1 year on electronic and electrical components. Labor is backed for 90 days — parts up to 10 years on sealed-system welds, 2 years mechanical, 1 year electronics; labor 90 days for the component we replaced. Magnetron and high-voltage capacitor work carries the same coverage. Same-failure callbacks inside 90 days are no-charge.
