Microwave Repair in Whites Creek, TN
A microwave that runs but does not heat, sparks, or has a door that will not latch should be unplugged and left alone. Microwaves store high voltage even when unplugged, so internal repairs are not a home job. Note whether the light and turntable work, and whether it heats at all. We check door switches, controls, and heating parts safely.

How We Fix It
The safety line matters most with microwaves: a door that does not latch, sparking, or a burning smell means unplug it and stop using it. Many no-heat faults trace to door switches, which stop heating when the door is not seen as closed. Others trace to the magnetron or control parts. We never open a microwave casually, and we tell you honestly when a countertop model costs more to repair than to replace.
Repair or Replace?
| Choice | When it fits |
|---|---|
| Repair first | Door switch, fuse, turntable, and control faults on built-in or over-range models |
| Replace when | A basic countertop microwave needs a magnetron or board, and repair exceeds replacement |

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my microwave run but not heat?
Door switches, a failed magnetron, or a control fault can each cause it. We test door switches first, because they are a common and safer fix.
Is sparking dangerous?
Yes, unplug it and stop using it. Sparking can come from metal, a damaged cavity, or a failed part, and it should not be tested again.
Do you repair built-in microwaves?
Yes, built-in and over-range models are often worth repairing. Countertop models are judged case by case on repair cost.
Can I repair a microwave myself?
No, not internal parts. Microwaves can hold a charge after unplugging. Leave internal work to a technician.
What details help?
Brand, model, built-in or countertop, and whether the light, fan, and turntable still run.
