Same-day and next-day service across all of Abilene. Licensed and insured.
Our microwave repair Abilene team gets your unit working again fast, usually the same day or the next, and we give you an honest answer on whether a fix is worth it before you spend a dime.
We fix all microwave types, but the repair math is different for each, and we will always tell you straight. Over-the-range and built-in units are worth repairing because a replacement runs $300 to $1,000 or more once you add installation. Countertop models are cheaper, so a major fix often costs close to a new one. We repair Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Maytag, Kenmore, Frigidaire, KitchenAid, Panasonic, and Bosch.
Property managers and businesses can ask about priority scheduling.
Yes, most can. A microwave that runs but does not heat, will not start, sparks, or has a dead keypad can usually be repaired by a trained tech. The one thing to know is safety. A microwave holds a high-voltage charge in its capacitor even after you unplug it, which can cause a serious shock. That is why heating and electrical repairs are not a safe do-it-yourself job. We carry the tools and training to handle it the right way.
Sparks or a burning smell mean you should stop using the unit and call right away.
Most microwave repairs land between $100 and $200, with a national average near $175 according to HomeAdvisor. Countertop repairs sit at the low end, while built-in and over-the-range units cost more because they take two people to unmount and reinstall. We charge a flat diagnostic fee, commonly $70 to $130, and it goes toward your repair when you book with us.

Ranges reflect 2026 national data from Angi, Fixr, and HomeGuide. Your final quote depends on the brand, the part, and whether the unit is countertop or mounted.
It comes down to the type of unit and the cost of the fix. A good rule of thumb is the 50% rule: if the repair costs more than half the price of a new microwave, replace it.
Here is how that plays out in real life. A countertop unit with a $250 magnetron rarely makes sense to fix, since a new one costs about the same. But a $250 magnetron on a built-in or over-the-range model is well worth it, because replacing that unit runs $600 to $1,000 with installation. Microwaves last about 7 to 10 years on average. When we look at yours, we tell you honestly which way the numbers point.

Do not open the case or try to fix the inside yourself. The capacitor can hold a dangerous charge even when unplugged. If the basics do not solve it, that is when to call a pro.
For built-in and over-the-range units, usually yes, since replacement is costly. For a basic countertop model over a few years old, replacement is often the better value.
Most can. Faults like no heat, a dead keypad, sparking, or a unit that will not start are common repairs. Heating and electrical fixes should be left to a trained tech for safety.
