Top-rated independent appliance repair across the Mid-South
Microwave Repair — Book a Visit Today
We repair microwaves that won't heat, spark inside, or died after a power flicker, and we work on all major brands as an independent shop. Call us and tell us what it's doing. The confusing part is that everything else keeps working. Light comes on, fan hums, plate turns, coffee stays cold. That usually points to a magnetron, a high-voltage diode, or a capacitor that quit. Other times it's a door switch, a thermal fuse blown by a storm surge, or a control board with scorched traces. Over-the-range units add vent and fan trouble, and Mid-South clay dust packs those filters tight. On a visit we open it up, discharge the high-voltage side safely, test the parts that matter, and tell you plainly what's worth fixing.

The microwave symptoms we hear most
- "It runs but nothing gets hot" Magnetron, high-voltage diode, or capacitor failure
- "Sparks and popping inside" Burned waveguide cover, arcing rack support, or food residue on the cavity walls
- "Totally dead after the storm knocked power out" Blown line fuse, thermal fuse, or surge-damaged control board
- "Buttons do nothing when I press them" Failed membrane touchpad or control board
- "Loud grinding, and the plate won't spin" Turntable motor, stripped coupler, or worn roller ring
Safe things to check first
Worth a look before you call — sometimes it saves you the visit.
- 1Unplug the unit for a full minute, plug it back in, and see if the display resets.
- 2Test the outlet with a lamp or phone charger, and check the breaker for that kitchen circuit.
- 3Press the door firmly shut and listen for the latch to click, since a door that isn't seated stops the whole cycle.
- 4Pull the glass tray and the plastic coupler, rinse off any spilled food, and set them back in squarely.

Nadia H.Springfield, MOMicrowave Repair — quick answers
Is a microwave that won't heat worth repairing?
Often yes. Over-the-range and built-in units cost a lot to swap and are awkward to install. Countertop models are a judgment call. We test the heating circuit first, then tell you straight whether repair makes sense for your unit.
Why is my microwave sparking inside?
Usually the waveguide cover, that small panel on the interior wall. When grease soaks it, it chars and arcs. Metal touching the wall or a chipped rack support can spark too. Stop using the unit and call us before it takes out the magnetron.
Can I replace the magnetron myself?
We don't recommend it. The high-voltage capacitor can hold a lethal charge even unplugged, and it has to be discharged correctly first. That's the main reason microwave work belongs with somebody who does it regularly.
Do you fix over-the-range and built-in microwaves?
We do. Those bring extra work: mounting brackets, vent ducting, trim kits on the built-ins. Around here the exhaust filters load up with cooking grease and fine clay dust, so the fan struggles and the cabinet runs hot.
What brands do you work on?
All the major residential brands. We're an independent repair company, not tied to any manufacturer, so we source parts by model number and serial. Have those handy when you call and we can check availability before we head out.
My microwave died right after a power flicker. What happened?
Storm surges commonly take out the line fuse or scorch the control board. Sometimes it's just the fuse, and that's a straightforward fix. We check both, plus the door interlock switches, since a failed switch can blow that fuse too.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call us or fill out the form and tell us what you hear, smell, or see. Buzzing, leaking, no heat. Plain talk is fine. We'll ask a few questions and set a visit window.
- Step 2
We come look
A technician shows up in the window, pulls the unit out, and tests it. No guessing games. We explain what failed and why, in words that make sense on your back porch.
- Step 3
We fix it
Common parts ride with us, so a lot of repairs finish on that first visit. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you plainly and set the return date before we pull out of your driveway.

Why homeowners call us
- Storm-season surge damageLightning and blinking power hurt control boards. You get an oven that lights up but won't heat, or a washer that quits mid-cycle. We test boards and wiring before we replace anything, so you know what the surge actually took out.
- Clay dust and lintRed clay dust and lint choke dryer vents and condenser coils. That's where long dry times and a hot laundry room come from, and it's why a fridge runs nonstop. We check airflow every visit, because a clogged vent kills a good machine slowly.
- Straight talk, no runaroundWe tell you what's wrong and what it takes to fix. If a machine is worn past sense, we say that too, and you decide. No pressure and no jargon. We don't dress up an upsell as advice.
- Independent and localWe're a Nashville crew, not a call center. As an independent shop we repair all major brands. Call us and you get a real person, somebody who knows the roads we drive.
