Microwave Repair in Orange County

That is the high-voltage side: magnetron, diode or capacitor. It is the most common microwave fault and the reason this is not a DIY job, because the capacitor holds a dangerous charge even unplugged. We discharge it safely and test each part.

It depends on which part failed. The service visit is free with any repair and $80 otherwise, and you get the full price before any work starts. If it turns out to be something simple we sort it out there and then, covered by the same $80.

Yes. They come out of the cabinetry and go back without damage to the trim, which is the part that puts most companies off.
