Microwave Repair in Rugby – Quick Fixes for Common Problems

When your microwave stops heating, makes weird noises, or the turntable won’t spin, it’s frustrating. Most of the time the issue is something you can solve without buying a new unit. Our technicians at Rugby Appliance Repair Services know the typical faults and can get your microwave back to work in no time.

Spot the Symptoms – What’s Going Wrong?

First, figure out what the microwave is actually doing. Does it turn on but stay cold? That usually points to a faulty magnetron, the part that creates the microwaves. If the door won’t latch, the safety switch may be stuck, preventing the oven from starting. A noisy motor or a wobbling turntable often means the rollers or motor gear need cleaning or replacement. Write down any error codes on the display – they’re a shortcut for the technician.

Easy DIY Checks Before You Call a Pro

There are a few safe things you can try yourself. Unplug the microwave for two minutes; this resets internal electronics and can clear minor glitches. Clean the interior and the turntable tray – food buildup can block the rotating mechanism. Check the fuse inside the appliance (only if you’re comfortable opening the back panel) – a blown fuse is a quick fix. If the microwave still won’t heat, it’s time to let a qualified repair person handle the high‑voltage components.

Why choose a local service? We’re based in Rugby, so we can often respond the same day. Our techs are trained on all major brands and carry the spare parts that most DIY shoppers don’t have on hand. That saves you both time and the cost of a brand‑new microwave.

When you contact us, we’ll ask a few questions about the symptoms and schedule a visit that fits your routine. We aim to arrive with the right parts, diagnose the problem on the spot, and give you a clear price before any work starts. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Typical repair costs in Rugby range from £60 for a simple motor fix to £150 for a magnetron replacement. We’ll also explain whether the repair makes sense compared to the age and condition of your microwave. If the unit is over ten years old and the cost approaches a new model, we’ll help you decide.

Remember, a faulty microwave can be a fire risk if the door seal is damaged or the internal wiring is scorched. Never ignore strange smells or sparks. Call a professional right away – safety comes first.
