Purchasing new kitchen appliances can be thrilling, but that doesn’t mean you want to invest in new pieces before you need to. Just like a car, your microwave can burn out and need replacement or repair. The signs may not seem glaringly obvious, but if the signs below happen, it’s time to look into microwave repair.

Improperly Cooked Food

One major sign that you need microwave repair is if your food isn’t being cooked properly. If your food is cold after being in for the correct amount of time or the microwave is burning things, consider it time to invest in a new appliance. It could be potentially dangerous to ingest incorrectly cooked foods without knowing.

Basic Functions Don’t Work

There are a few basic functions that could shut down if your microwave isn’t working correctly. First of all, if the door does not shut all the way, you should invest in microwave repair. Microwave doors are designed to seal completely to contain the radiation being emitted from the machine. 

Alarming Sounds & Smells

Immediate warning signs could be peculiar noises, strange smells, or sparks. If you experience any of these, unplug the appliance and back away from it immediately. Any of these could mean there is a major electrical problem with your microwave, which means it’s time to replace the machine right away.
