Our microwave repair service spectrum includes:

- Sparking fix. If you notice sparks inside your microwave, it is a cause for concern. Sparks can result from a variety of issues, such as damaged waveguide covers, defective stirrer motors, or worn-out high-voltage diodes. We assess the internal components, ensuring they are in optimal condition to prevent hazardous sparking.

- Control panel problems repair. If the control panel of your microwave becomes unresponsive or displays error codes, it can disrupt your cooking experience. Control panel issues may arise from damaged membrane switches, faulty control boards, or wiring problems. We perform meticulous diagnostics to identify the faulty components and provide precise repairs, ensuring seamless operation.
- Door seal repair. A malfunctioning door seal or latch compromises the safety and efficiency of your microwave. It can lead to heat leakage and inefficient cooking. Our technicians inspect the door seal, hinges, and latches, repairing or replacing any damaged parts to maintain a secure and airtight closure.
