Common Microwave Problems We Fix
- Won’t heat food — Usually a faulty magnetron or diode
- Sparks or arcing inside — Often caused by damaged waveguide covers or metal racks
- Turntable stops spinning — Worn coupler or roller guide
- Door won’t latch or seal — Broken door switches or misaligned hinges
- Display is dead or buttons unresponsive — Control board or membrane switch failure
- Strange noises (grinding, humming) — Motor issues or stirrer blade problems
- Runs but shuts off mid-cycle — Thermal cutoff or ventilation blockage
Microwave Maintenance Tips
- Clean the interior weekly — Wipe down walls and ceiling to prevent grease buildup that can cause sparks
- Check the door seal regularly — Torn or warped seals reduce heating efficiency and waste energy
- Avoid running it empty — Operating without food inside can damage the magnetron
- Use microwave-safe containers only — Metal, foil, or certain plastics can spark or melt
- Keep vents clear — Blocked airflow leads to overheating and automatic shutdowns
- Replace waveguide covers when damaged — These protect the magnetron from food splatter
- Test the door switches — If the light stays on when closed, the switches may need replacement
