Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth repairing a microwave? For built-in and over-the-range microwaves, yes — replacement involves significant labor and often cabinet modification. Repair is almost always more cost-effective than replacement for these units.
Can you repair a microwave drawer? Yes. Microwave drawers from Sharp, KitchenAid, and other brands have specific mechanisms and components. Our technicians are experienced with their unique design.
How dangerous is it to open a microwave for repair? Microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can hold a lethal charge even when unplugged. This is why microwave repair should only be done by trained professionals — never DIY.
