Built In and Over the Range Units in Abilene Homes
Over the range microwaves double as the vent fan for your stove, so a unit that stops working can also leave your kitchen without ventilation. Older homes in areas like downtown and Sayles sometimes have wiring that was not built for a built in microwave’s power draw, which is worth having checked if breakers trip during use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it dangerous to use a microwave that sparks?
Yes, stop using it immediately. Sparking usually means a damaged waveguide cover or a metal object inside, but it can also point to a failing magnetron, and continuing to run it risks further damage or a fire hazard.
Why did my microwave stop heating but still runs?
This is almost always the magnetron or the high voltage diode. The turntable and display can keep working normally even after the heating component fails.
Is it worth repairing a microwave or better to replace?
For a countertop microwave, replacement is often cheaper once the repair passes about half the cost of a new unit. Built in and over the range models are usually worth repairing since replacement involves more labor.
Can a microwave door switch be repaired?
Yes, this is a common and inexpensive repair. Most microwaves have multiple safety switches tied to the door, and a technician can identify which one failed quickly.
Is it safe to repair a microwave myself?
We do not recommend it. Microwaves hold high voltage even when unplugged, and diagnosing a magnetron or diode issue safely requires proper training.
Do you repair built-in and over the range microwaves?
Yes, we service countertop, over the range, and built-in microwaves from all major brands.
