We have long been accustomed to heating and defrosting food in the microwave. Microwave has long ago and firmly entered our life and won its place there.

Our Microwave Repair in Lakeside, CA technicians are ready to come to your home at your convenience, and most importantly, they know how to get your appliance back in working order quickly and efficiently.

Why Microwaves Break Down

It is believed that the microwave is a fairly reliable unit that rarely fails. And most often the reasons for its failure lie in improper use and wear and tear parts. 

Let's look at the causes of microwave failure

• Used when heating improperly for microwave cookware

Only glass or plastic dishes can be used in the microwave. The lid of the container must be open. If heated with the lid tightly closed, the cookware may explode, damaging the inner chamber and parts of the oven.

• There is a metal object in the working microwave

This may cause arcing, crackling and a breakdown on the inner surface of the chamber. Cookware with foil patterns on it is also not recommended.

• When heating food, do not use a special plastic cover

It protects the walls of the chamber and internal elements from contamination by drops of liquid and fat evaporating from the surface of the food during heating.

If you can't fix it yourself and figure out what's causing the problem, you'd better call Lakeside Microwave Repair.

What malfunctions of the microwave are encountered by our craftsmen

Microwave does not turn on

• Breakdown in the mains or mains wire
• High-voltage fuse blown, due to a power surge. The fuse should be replaced.
• The thermostat does not work. Here it is necessary to figure out whether the thermostat has burned out and needs to be replaced, or there are problems in the cooling system of the oven chamber. A knowledgeable Microwave Repair in Lakeside, CA technician will be able to figure out the problem.
• The door lock switch is broken. It is necessary to call a master for its replacement or restoration of contacts.
• The control board is out of order. Most often due to a power surge on the board, the step-down transformer fails.

The plate does not rotate

The cause of this problem may be a malfunction of the motor that rotates the pallet. Most often, the motor breaks because of the buildup of water droplets, grease and food particles on the shaft. This causes the shaft to become difficult to rotate, increasing the load on the coil and causing it to burn out. The burned-out coil must be replaced. If the rotation is difficult, the shaft can be gently cleaned of dirt. 

The microwave does not heat

• The fuse has blown. Requires its replacement.
• Failure of the magnetron. The causes of such breakdowns can be voltage fluctuations in the network, a short circuit, a faulty capacitor, as well as wear and tear   of the element. A qualified technician who specializes in Lakeside Microwave Repairs can understand the causes of magnetron failure and fix them.
• Low voltage in the mains.

Sparks and crackling in the microwave chamber

These signs indicate that the mica plate has burned out. This is caused by heating food in an open cookware. This causes liquid and fat to evaporate from the surface of the food and settle on the plate. Also, the mica can burn out if any, even a small metal object, is placed in the chamber. Or excessive wetting of the plate during cleaning. Microwave Repair in Lakeside, CA will solve this problem in no time.

Microwave operation, accompanied by a loud sound

• The magnetron may malfunction with prolonged operation on the maximum mode. 
• Short circuit in one of the windings of the high-voltage transformer, which also leads to an increase in sound. 
• Failure of the fan also manifests itself by intensification of sound and noise.

The touch panel buttons do not work

• During operation the contacts on the buttons are disturbed. Requires their restoration, or a complete replacement of the button, or the touch panel. 
• Worse, if the control unit fails.

A technician who specializes in Lakeside Microwave Repair can determine the cause and repair the problem.
