Your microwave might seem simple, but it’s one of the most advanced appliances in your kitchen. When it fails, you need more than a quick online tutorial — you need a professional who knows how to diagnose and fix the real issue safely.

We’ve repaired hundreds of microwaves across HRM from homes in Bedford and Dartmouth to cafes and restaurants downtown and we bring that experience to every job.

 

Common Microwave Problems We Fix

Here are some of the most common issues our Halifax technicians handle:

• Microwave not heating properly: Usually a problem with the magnetron, diode, or high-voltage capacitor.
• Sparking or crackling inside: Often caused by leftover food debris, metal objects, or a damaged waveguide cover.
• Door won’t close or latch: A broken latch or defective interlock switch can cause this.
• Turntable not spinning: Caused by a faulty motor, coupler, or track ring.
• Display not lighting up: Control board or wiring issue.
• Microwave stops mid-cycle: Commonly linked to overheating sensors or damaged fuses.
• Burning smell or strange noises: Usually a sign of electrical or mechanical failure that needs immediate attention.

We don’t just replace parts – we get to the why behind the problem, so it doesn’t return a few weeks later.

Preventive Microwave Maintenance Tips

A few small habits can make your microwave last years longer:

• Keep it clean: Food residue causes sparking and odours.
• Don’t run it empty: It can damage internal parts like the magnetron.
• Avoid metal or foil: Even small metal trim can cause arcing.
• Use a surge protector: Protects sensitive electronics from power spikes.
• Leave space around it: Proper ventilation prevents overheating.
