From a built-in that stopped heating to an over-the-range unit with a dead vent fan, our technicians repair all microwave types. We specialize in built-in and OTR microwaves that are matched to your kitchen. Factory-authorized parts with 1-year warranty.
We service built-in and over-the-range microwaves as well as countertop, drawer, and convection units.
Cabinet and wall-oven combo microwaves with trim kits
OTR units with integrated vent hood and exhaust fan
Standalone units for kitchens and break rooms
Under-counter drawer-style microwaves
Combination microwave and convection oven units
High-end combination speed-cook wall units
Our technicians diagnose and repair microwave issues safely — including the high-voltage components that make DIY repairs dangerous.
Turntable spins and lights work, but food comes out cold
Plate stays still, leaving food unevenly cooked
Unit won't start or runs with the door ajar — a safety concern
The component that generates the microwaves has failed
Touchpad buttons dead, stuck, or displaying error codes
Visible sparks inside, often a burnt waveguide cover or damaged cavity
Failing magnetron, high-voltage diode, or cooling fan
Over-the-range vent fan won't clear steam and smoke
Cavity light stays dark during operation
Cracked turntable plate or worn roller guide
Overheating or thermal cutoff tripping mid-cycle
Faulty membrane switch or control board
We repair all major microwave brands using factory authorized parts.

Most people assume a broken microwave means a trip to the appliance store, and for a cheap countertop unit that's often true. But the microwaves we're called about across Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville, and Folsom are overwhelmingly built-in and over-the-range (OTR) models — units bolted into cabinetry, paired with a wall oven, or mounted above the range with an integrated vent hood. Replacing one of these means matching the trim kit, the finish, and the cutout dimensions, which typically runs $500 to $1,500 installed. A targeted repair is almost always the smarter call.
The failures we see most fall into a few groups. The classic "runs but won't heat" complaint traces to the high-voltage circuit — a burned-out magnetron, a failed high-voltage diode, or a bad capacitor. Because that capacitor stores a dangerous charge even after the unit is unplugged, this is genuinely not a DIY job; our technicians discharge it safely before testing. Beyond that we handle door interlock switch failures (the safety system that keeps the unit from running with the door open), unresponsive touchpads and control boards, broken turntable motors and roller guides, arcing from a burnt waveguide cover, and — on OTR units — exhaust fans and grease-filter housings that stop clearing steam and smoke.
Our trucks carry the high-failure parts for GE, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, Bosch, Panasonic, and Sharp, so most microwave repairs finish in a single visit. Every job comes with a written upfront quote, factory-authorized parts, and our 1-year parts / 3-month labor warranty. Call 916-400-9880 to book a microwave repair anywhere in the Sacramento metro.
It depends on the unit. A $90 countertop microwave usually isn't worth a service call — replacement makes more sense. But built-in and over-the-range microwaves that are integrated with your cabinetry or vent hood typically cost $500–$1,500 to replace and are matched to your kitchen's finish, so a repair is almost always the smarter call. Our technician gives you an honest, upfront quote on site so you can decide, and the diagnostic fee is waived when you approve the repair.
Yes — these are the units we're called for most. Built-in microwaves mounted in cabinetry or paired with a wall oven, and over-the-range (OTR) models with an integrated vent hood, both require careful removal and reinstallation that big-box replacement crews often won't handle. We service the trim kits, mounting hardware, and exhaust systems on GE, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Samsung, LG, Bosch, and Thermador OTR and built-in units throughout the Sacramento area.
When the turntable spins and the light and display work but food stays cold, the fault is almost always in the high-voltage circuit: a burned-out magnetron, a failed high-voltage diode, or a bad capacitor. These carry a dangerous stored charge even when unplugged, so this is not a DIY repair. Our technicians safely discharge the capacitor, test each component, and replace the failed part with a factory-authorized replacement.
Interior sparking is usually caused by a burnt or missing waveguide cover (the small mica panel on the cavity wall), damaged interior paint exposing bare metal, or metal objects left inside. Stop using it immediately — running a microwave while it arcs can damage the magnetron. We replace the waveguide cover and repair or recoat the cavity so it's safe to use again.
The door interlock switches are a critical safety system — they stop the microwave from emitting energy when the door is open. If your door won't latch, the unit won't start (or worse, behaves erratically), and you should stop using it until it's fixed. Door switch failure is one of the most common microwave repairs we do, and it's usually a quick, affordable fix.
Yes. Every microwave repair includes a 1-year warranty on parts and a 3-month warranty on labor. We use factory-authorized parts whenever available so the repair lasts and any active manufacturer warranty on your appliance stays intact.
