How We Repair Your Whirlpool Microwave Oven
Microwaves use a high-voltage magnetron circuit to heat food, protected by door interlock switches and fuses.
We service current and older Whirlpool Microwave Oven models. Bring the model number to the phone call if you can: it helps us check part availability before we arrive.
Safety first: Do not open the microwave cabinet. The capacitor can hold a lethal charge even when the unit is unplugged.
Common Microwave Oven Problems We Fix
Keypad does not respond
A failed touchpad or control board.
Runs but does not heat
A failed magnetron, high-voltage diode, capacitor or transformer. These parts store dangerous voltage even when unplugged.
Completely dead
A blown internal fuse, often caused by a failed door switch, or a control board fault.
Sparking inside
A damaged waveguide cover, metal in the cavity or chipped interior paint.
Turntable does not turn
A worn turntable motor or a misaligned coupler.
Quick Checks Before You Call
These are safe for most owners and sometimes solve the problem without a visit:
- Try a different outlet and check the breaker.
- Make sure the door closes and latches fully.
- Look for food splatter or burns on the waveguide cover inside the cavity.
- Reseat the turntable on its coupler.

Do you work on all Whirlpool models?
We repair current and older Whirlpool models. Some discontinued parts can be hard to find; if that is the case for your model, we tell you before you pay for a repair.
Should I repair or replace my microwave oven?
A microwave oven typically lasts about 7 to 10 years. If yours is well inside that range and the repair costs less than half the price of a new one, repairing usually makes sense. Near the end of its life, or when the repair costs more than half of a replacement, replacing is often the better value. We give you an honest opinion either way.
