Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my microwave running but not heating?
This is usually caused by a failed magnetron, a blown high-voltage capacitor or a faulty diode. These are the most common microwave faults we repair in Cape Town.
Is it safe to repair a microwave?
Microwave repairs involve high-voltage components that can be dangerous without proper training. Our technicians are trained in microwave safety and carry out all repairs following correct procedures.
My microwave is sparking inside, what do I do?
Stop using it immediately. Sparking is usually caused by food residue on the waveguide cover, metal in the cavity or a damaged cavity liner. Our technician will identify and fix the cause safely.
Is it worth repairing an older microwave?
It depends on the age and the fault. Our technician can advise honestly on whether repair is cost-effective for your specific microwave.
Do you repair built-in microwave ovens?
Yes, we repair built-in microwave ovens as well as freestanding counter-top microwaves from all brands.
