Microwave Repair

Microwave Running but Not Heating?

A microwave that hums without heating is easy to notice and hard to work around. Westside Appliance Repair provides in-home microwave repair across the Des Moines Metro Area, helping you understand the fault before you decide what to do next.

We’ve served the Des Moines Metro Area since 1941. Our technicians diagnose the problem and explain the available repairs; our repairs carry a 30-day warranty, with parts covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Ask about the coverage for your microwave.

Common Microwave Problems We Repair

Operating problems depend on the supported model and configuration. Westside Appliance Repair diagnoses common microwave problems, including:

  • Not heating: A microwave that runs without warming food may have a fault in its heating components.
  • Controls not responding: A keypad or display that stops responding may prevent the microwave from starting.
  • Stops during use: A microwave that shuts off partway through may have a door switch, control, or overheating problem.
  • Unusual noise or sparks: Stop using a microwave that sparks or makes a new loud noise until it has been checked.

Our Microwave Diagnosis and Repair Service

During the visit, the technician checks components related to the reported symptoms and explains the available repair options for that microwave model. Some repairs can be completed during the initial appointment. Others require a specific replacement part or a follow-up visit.

Our model-number diagrams can help you find the label before you book.

Microwave Brands and Model Eligibility

Westside Appliance Repair services microwaves from a range of established household appliance manufacturers. We also service Samsung microwaves for non-warranty repairs only.

When scheduling, provide your microwave’s model number so Westside Appliance Repair can confirm whether your appliance is within its service scope. Brand coverage does not guarantee service for every model, component, or warranty arrangement. You can review the brands we repair or contact the team to confirm eligibility.

Frequently Asked Questions About Microwave Repair

Yes, for non-warranty repairs only. Provide the model number and warranty information when scheduling so the team can confirm eligibility.

A microwave repair does not have one set price. The cost depends on the diagnosed fault, any replacement parts required, and the labor involved. When scheduling, ask whether a diagnostic fee applies and how repair estimates are provided.

That depends on the fault, the type of microwave, and the cost of a comparable replacement. Built-in models can add installation considerations to a replacement. A diagnosis helps make that comparison more useful.
