Common Microwave Issues We Fix
We understand how disruptive a malfunctioning microwave can be to your daily routine. That’s why our team is dedicated to resolving the full spectrum of microwave issues swiftly and effectively.
Trust us to provide expert assistance and the necessary repairs to get your appliance back in top condition, all with the convenience and assurance that comes from working with seasoned professionals. Let us tackle the common problems and restore your microwave’s functionality seamlessly.
The Microwave is Not Heating
If your microwave turns on but doesn’t heat, it could be due to issues like a malfunctioning door switch, a broken magnetron, a failed capacitor, or a faulty diode. In some cases, a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse could be the culprit behind the lack of heating.
Additionally, if your microwave has been subjected to excessive use or overheating, it may result in the degradation of internal components such as the thermal fuse or the high-voltage transformer, leading to heating issues. Microwaves rely on these components to function properly. Each plays a critical role in heating food. For instance, a damaged magnetron, which generates the microwave’s heat, will cause your appliance to run but not warm your meals.
We understand how frustrating these situations can be, which is why we do our best to resolve them quickly. Our team is equipped to diagnose and fix these common problems efficiently, restoring your microwave to good working order.
If the touchpad isn’t working properly…
When your microwave’s touchpad is unresponsive or erratic, it may be due to moisture damage or pests. Frequent kitchen spills or insect issues can cause touchpad failures.
In addition to moisture damage or pest infestations, touchpad malfunctions can also occur due to wear and tear over time. Continuous use and exposure to heat and humidity in the kitchen environment can contribute to the deterioration of the touchpad’s functionality. Difficulty in selecting cooking settings is a common resulting problem.
Rest assured, All Star Appliance Solutions can tackle these issues. Whether it’s repairing damaged circuits or replacing the entire panel, our technicians have the expertise to restore your microwave’s functionality. Trust us to provide a quick and effective fix, ensuring your microwave operates smoothly again.
The Microwave is Sparking
Microwave sparking, also known as “arcing,” can be alarming. It often happens if metal objects like foil or utensils are inside when it’s running. Food splatters can also cause sparks if they ignite. Sometimes, arcing can be due to a malfunctioning high-voltage diode a damaged fan belt focusing heat unevenly, or a blown fuse compromising the appliance’s safety.
Furthermore, microwave sparking can occur if the interior cavity or the waveguide cover is damaged or dirty. Cracks, chipped paint, or food residue inside the microwave can create points where electrical arcs can form, leading to sparking during operation. Additionally, if the waveguide cover – which protects the microwave’s internal components from food splatters and moisture – is damaged or missing, it can expose the microwave’s sensitive parts to sparking hazards.
Our microwave pros know exactly how to handle these situations safely and effectively. Our skilled professionals are equipped to resolve sparking issues, ensuring your microwave works perfectly again. Don’t risk fixing it alone; let us take care of the problem for you.
The Microwave Door Won’t Open
Sometimes, a microwave door stubbornly refuses to open. This may be due to a jammed latch, a misaligned door, or a faulty door release mechanism. Over time, repeated use can wear out these components.
Another reason why your microwave door might not open could be due to a buildup of dirt, grease, or food particles around the door seal. This buildup can create resistance, making it difficult to open the door smoothly. Furthermore, if you’ve recently experienced a power outage or interruption, your microwave’s electronic controls may need to be reset. Sometimes, resetting the microwave can resolve issues related to the door not opening.
It’s frustrating when you can’t access your hot meals or drinks. But don’t worry, All Star Appliance Solutions has the expertise to tackle these issues. Our skilled technicians can quickly diagnose and fix the problem, ensuring your microwave door opens smoothly again. So, if your microwave is acting up in this way, you can count on us to provide a reliable solution.
The Turntable is Not Rotating
When your microwave’s turntable isn’t spinning, it could just be off its track, or the motor might be faulty. Sometimes, it’s a sign of a damaged coupler or roller guide. It could also be due to a buildup of food debris or grease underneath the turntable. Over time, this buildup can interfere with the turntable’s movement and cause it to become stuck. Cleaning the area underneath the turntable regularly can help prevent this issue and ensure smooth operation.
If cleaning doesn’t solve the problem, there may be a mechanical issue with the turntable motor or drive system. In such cases, our experienced technicians can diagnose the issue and provide the necessary repairs to get your microwave back to optimal functioning. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for assistance with any turntable-related issues you may encounter. Unevenly heated meals signal it’s time to act.
All Star Appliance Solutions can tackle these issues with ease. We examine the alignment, inspect the motor, and assess for any breaks. Trust us to restore your microwave’s turntable to full function, ensuring your food heats properly every time. Don’t let a stationary turntable disrupt your kitchen routine – we’re here to help.

Routine Cleaning Recommendations
As you do your best to keep your microwave oven in tip-top condition, a simple cleaning regimen is a safe place to start. This could involve the following ideas and more:
- Regularly wipe down the inside of your microwave with a damp cloth to remove food splatters and spills, preventing stubborn stains and odors.
- Use a microwave-safe bowl with water and a slice of lemon, heating it for a few minutes to steam-clean and freshen the interior.
- Clean the microwave exterior and touchpad with mild detergent, ensuring it’s free of grease and fingerprints, which can prolong the touchpad’s responsiveness and appearance.
- Keeping the turntable clean is essential, as food particles can cause it to stick, leading to uneven cooking and potential damage to the microwave.

- Close the door gently to prevent wear on the hinges and door seals.
- Avoid overloading your microwave with excessively heavy items that can strain the turntable.
- Perform routine checks on the door seal for any signs of damage that could affect efficiency.

All Star Appliance Solutions specializes in repairing a wide array of microwave ovens, including the most common brands found in households across the United States.

How much does a typical microwave oven repair cost?
The brand and model of the microwave can significantly influence the price as some manufacturers require specialized parts or tools. Whether the microwave is still under warranty is another critical factor; in-warranty repairs could be less expensive or sometimes even free.
The nature of the malfunction—simple issues like a faulty door latch may cost less to fix than more complex problems involving the microwave’s electronics or magnetron. Additionally, the choice of repair service—manufacturer, independent shop, or even DIY—can affect the overall cost. The prices charged by different providers can also differ based on their expertise and the local market rates.
Are microwaves worth repairing?
Consider the microwave’s warranty status; many manufacturers offer a one-year guarantee that could cover the costs of repair or make it free. The success rate of microwave repair also influences this decision – as studies suggest a high success chance.
Additionally, the type of microwave, the cost of a new comparable model versus the repair, the age and condition of the unit, and the environmental impact of repair versus replacement are all significant considerations. Understanding how your microwave works and whether the issue is a common, fixable one can guide your choice to repair instead of replace. Repairing may also align with sustainable living practices by reducing waste.
