Common faults

These are the microwave problems our engineers get called out to most.

  • Runs but won't heat

    £66–150
    26% of jobs

  • Sparking or arcing inside

    £79–140
    18% of jobs

    Flashes, crackling or a burning smell from the cavity, often a burnt waveguide cover or damaged interior coating that needs replacing.

  • Tripping the electrics

    £75–108
    16% of jobs

    The microwave trips your fuse board, sometimes the moment the door opens. Typically a shorted component or moisture in the wiring that we trace and put right.

  • Cutting out after seconds

    £80–156
    15% of jobs

    It starts, then shuts off within a minute, occasionally throwing an error code. Often a door switch, sensor or control fault behind the cut-out.

  • Door or hinge fault

    £88–108
    13% of jobs

    The door drops, won't latch or stops the microwave starting. Caused by a worn hinge, broken latch or one of the interlock switches.

  • Broken buttons or dials

    £85–108
    12% of jobs

    A dial pushed through the panel or a dead control pad. Traced to a damaged touch board, membrane or knob and replaced on the visit.

Common questions

Microwave repair questions, answered.

A few things customers ask us before booking a microwave repair. If yours isn't here, our team is happy to talk it through.

Still got a question about your microwave?

How much does a microwave repair cost?
You'll have a fixed service charge agreed before the engineer arrives, covering labour, callout and VAT. Most microwave repairs land between £66 and £158, and if a part is needed we quote it separately for your approval before any work begins.
Is it worth repairing a microwave?
Often yes, especially with built-in, combination or premium models where a like-for-like replacement costs far more than the fix. Your engineer gives you an honest fixed price first, so the decision stays yours before anything goes ahead.
How quickly can you attend?
Same or next working day where availability allows. Book before around 3pm to give yourself the best chance of a next-day visit, and you'll get a confirmed time window either way.
Is the repair guaranteed?
Yes. Every repair we finish comes with a guarantee, and the exact length depends on the parts fitted, as set out in our terms and conditions.
