How To Fix a Microwave
Microwaves may be compact, but they play an essential role in your kitchen. At Yamomoto®, we don’t recommend attempting your own microwave repairs — a quick fix can sometimes make the problem worse. For an accurate diagnosis and efficient repair, schedule a visit from a Yamomoto® service expert.
Before you call, try a few simple troubleshooting steps:
- Check the power source: Make sure your microwave is securely plugged in and that the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped.
- Look for possible causes: Did you accidentally use metal or unsuitable containers that might have caused issues? Are there any visible signs of damage?
- Align the turntable: If the turning ring or plate is out of position, your microwave may not rotate properly or could make unusual noises.
- Inspect the control panel: A damaged or unresponsive touchpad can prevent the microwave from operating correctly.
- Review your user manual: It may offer quick tips for simple issues and outline warranty coverage for repairs or part replacements.
If these steps don’t solve the problem, the Yamomoto® technicians are ready to help you get your microwave working again quickly and safely.
