Microwave Repair Across the GTA, Honest Call First

Microwaves are the one appliance where replacement often beats repair. On a unit older than 10 years with a repair cost above $200, most homeowners are better off with a new microwave. GUR tells you which side of that line you are on before the truck ever leaves, and if the repair makes sense, we bring the right parts on the first visit.

Book your repair and the callback includes the honest repair vs replace math for your specific unit.

Honest Microwave Advice First

Most microwaves over 10 years old are not worth fixing.

Microwaves run about 10 years on average. Magnetron and control board repairs can run $200 to $280, and a basic over-range replacement is around $320. If your unit is past 10 years old and the repair is over $200, replacement is almost always the smarter move. We tell you that on the callback before you commit to anything.

Under 5 years old

Almost always repair. Microwaves under 5 years are worth the fix on every major component including the magnetron.

5 to 10 years old

Case by case. Under $200 repair cost is usually repair. Over $200 is usually replace, and we explain why on the callback.

Over 10 years old

Replace almost every time. The magnetron and control boards are near end of life anyway. We save you a diagnostic fee and point you to a better path.

Our fridge stopped cooling on a Saturday afternoon. Called GUR and they had a technician at our house by 4 PM. Fixed the compressor relay and saved us hundreds of dollars in groceries. Could not be happier.

The dryer was making a horrible grinding noise. GUR came out next morning, replaced the drum roller, and it runs like new. Fair price, friendly tech, done in under an hour.

Dishwasher was leaking all over the kitchen floor. They came same day, found a cracked hose, and replaced it on the spot. Professional and fast. Will definitely call again.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth repairing a microwave?

It depends on the repair cost and the age of your microwave. If the repair costs less than $150 and your microwave is less than 7 years old, repairing usually makes more sense than replacing. We will always compare the repair cost to the price of a new unit so you can make an informed decision.

Why is my microwave not heating?

The most common cause is a failed magnetron, which is the component that generates the microwaves. Other causes include a blown thermal fuse, a faulty door switch, or a failed capacitor. Our technicians test all of these during diagnosis.

Is a sparking microwave dangerous?

Sparking can be a safety hazard and you should stop using the microwave until it is inspected. The most common cause is a damaged waveguide cover, which is an inexpensive repair. Less common causes include a faulty magnetron or metal contamination inside the unit.

How long does microwave repair take?

Most microwave repairs are completed in 30 minutes to one hour during a single visit. Built-in microwaves may take slightly longer due to the additional effort required to access the unit.

Do you repair built-in microwaves?

Yes. We repair both countertop and built-in (over-the-range) microwaves for all major brands.
