Microwaves turn high-voltage current into electromagnetic waves, and the high-voltage parts inside can hold a dangerous charge even when unplugged. Repairs should be left to a trained technician.
If your microwave won’t heat or won’t power on, our technicians can safely bring it back to life.
Types we work on
- Built-in

Maintenance tips
- Clean the inside and outside regularly
- Spills and grease buildup make it harder for the microwave to work properly.
- Clean the vents
- Clogged vents release grease and dust into the air and make the microwave less efficient.
