— The Overview
The one appliance you shouldn't DIY — done safely.
Microwaves store a lethal charge in their capacitor even after they’re unplugged, which is exactly why “microwave won’t heat” is the repair homeowners shouldn’t attempt themselves. Our technicians discharge the unit safely, then diagnose whether it’s the magnetron, diode, door interlock or control board behind the failure.
We repair countertop microwaves, over-the-range units with their vent fans and cooktop lights, and built-in trim-kit and combination models across Detroit. Because over-the-range and built-in microwaves are expensive and often cabinet-specific to replace, a same-day repair usually saves you hundreds — and the hassle of matching a new unit to your kitchen.
Sparking or a burning smell? Stop the cycle, unplug the microwave, and don’t use it again until it’s inspected. We’ll prioritize sparking-unit calls.
— Common Problems We Fix
Sound like your microwave?
Runs but won't heat
Turntable spins, light’s on, food stays cold — magnetron, high-voltage diode or door switch. Our most common microwave repair.
Sparking / arcing inside
Flashes or pops during a cycle — burnt waveguide cover or damaged cavity. Stop using it; we replace and inspect.
Turntable won't spin
Plate sits still while it heats — drive motor, coupler or roller guide. Inexpensive and fast to fix.
Keypad / buttons dead
Unresponsive touchpad or a frozen display — membrane keypad or control board. We restore full function.
Won't start / no power
Nothing happens on the door close or start — door interlock switches, fuse or board. We trace the break.
Vent fan / light out (OTR)
Over-the-range fan not clearing steam or cooktop light dead — we repair the vent motor and lamp circuit too.
Also repaired: loud humming or buzzing, doors that won’t latch, cycles that stop early, and error
codes on Samsung and GE units. Countertop, over-the-range and built-in microwaves — across
Detroit.

What Metro Detroit says about our microwave repairs
“Over-the-range microwave quit heating and I assumed I’d have to replace the whole thing. Priya fixed it for a fraction and saved me matching a new one to my cabinets.”
“Mine was sparking and I was nervous about it. They took it seriously, explained the safety side, and had it fixed same day. Very professional.”
“Turntable stopped spinning and the buttons were glitchy. Quick, affordable fix. Appreciated that they didn’t push me to just buy new.”
—Microwave Repair FAQ
Answers before you book
Why does my microwave run but not heat the food?
A microwave that lights up and spins but won’t heat usually has a failed magnetron, a blown high-voltage diode, or a bad door switch. When local homeowners experience this issue, they rely on professional microwave repair detroit michigan services to handle these technical, high-voltage repairs safely.
Is it safe to keep using a microwave that sparks?
No. Stop using a sparking microwave. Sparking usually means a burnt waveguide cover or damaged interior, and continuing to run it can worsen the damage or pose a fire risk. Unplug it and book a repair.
Is microwave repair worth it, especially over-the-range models?
For over-the-range and built-in microwaves, repair is usually worth it — replacements run $300–$700 plus installation and often require exact-fit cabinetry. Countertop units are a closer call, and we’ll tell you honestly which way makes sense.
Do you repair over-the-range and built-in microwaves?
Yes. We repair countertop, over-the-range (with vent and light), and built-in trim-kit microwaves, including combination microwave-wall-oven units, across Metro Detroit.
Why is my microwave turntable not spinning?
A turntable that won’t turn is usually a failed drive motor, a broken coupler, or a cracked roller guide. It’s an inexpensive, common repair that we complete same-day from truck stock.
