Microwave repair in South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead: what to know
Microwaves in South Side rowhouse kitchens are usually countertop models, simply because many of those kitchens have no room for a hood-mounted unit over the range. When a countertop microwave fails, replacement is often more sensible than repair, and we'll tell you if so. Over-the-range models in renovated Mount Washington condos are a different case. They vent the range, so a failed fan or stuck damper affects the whole kitchen, not just reheating leftovers.
How we find the fault: microwaves in brick rowhouses and worker houses
In a South Side rowhouse the microwave is usually an over-the-range unit that doubles as the only range hood, and it takes a beating from steam and grease. A dead fan or light is as common as a no-heat fault. We test the door switches and high-voltage parts for heating, and the fan motor and damper for the hood side.
Booking microwave repair in South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead
Tell us which way to approach, since Mount Washington streets can be steep and narrow and some addresses are easier from one side. For a gas range, know where the shutoff is.
Finding the model number: Check inside the door frame or on the back; over-the-range models usually have it on the frame behind the door. Don't pull a heavy appliance out to find it; if it's hidden, tell us and we'll read it on the visit.

Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
It depends on the part. Door switches, fuses, the turntable motor and the vent fan are modest repairs. A dead magnetron or control board on an older, basic over-the-range unit often costs close to a new one, and we'll tell you so after testing.
