A microwave that won't heat, sparks inside, or makes a strange sound isn't always safe to keep using. Our licensed Taunton technicians repair countertop, over-the-range, and built-in microwaves of every brand, often the same day you call.
These are the most common signs our Taunton technicians hear about before a microwave repair call.
The turntable spins and the display works, but food comes out cold.
Visible arcing or sparks during operation — stop using it immediately if this happens.
Food heats unevenly because the tray no longer rotates during a cycle.
Unusual noise during operation, often from the turntable motor or magnetron.
The keypad doesn't register presses, or the display stays dark or frozen.
A loose or damaged latch can prevent the microwave from starting at all.
The component that generates heat — when it fails, the microwave won't heat food at all.
A safety component that must engage correctly before the microwave will start.
Causes the tray to stop rotating, leading to uneven heating.
A common cause of arcing or sparking during operation.
Electronic faults can cause unresponsive buttons or a blank display.
Not sure whether to repair or replace? Our guide on repair or replace — a simple way to decide applies well to built-in and over-the-range models.
Confirms the magnetron is actually producing microwave energy — the most common cause of a unit that runs but doesn’t heat.
Tests the safety switches that must all engage correctly before the unit will operate, for both function and safety.
Checks the high-voltage circuit, since a failed diode or capacitor is a frequent cause of no-heat complaints.
Inspects the motor and coupler for wear if the turntable isn’t rotating.
Tests for unresponsive buttons or display issues tied to the control board.

Most microwaves are fixed in one visit, backed by a 90-day warranty.
For built-in and over-the-range microwaves that are integrated into cabinetry, repairing is usually worth it. For older countertop units nearing end-of-life, replacement can sometimes be more economical.
