Are there common faults on KitchenAid microwaves?

Look first at failed magnetrons, faulty door switches, vent fan motor failures, and convection parts; each one has a recognizable symptom. Keep crumbs from stalling a microwave drawer by wiping its track clean.

At what point is a KitchenAid microwave not worth fixing?

Through their first ten years or so, KitchenAid appliances are usually worth fixing, because the typical failure is a board, motor or igniter rather than a tub or sealed system.

Do I see the cost before you repair my KitchenAid microwave?

We find the cause, walk you through it and put the price in writing, and if a repair is not worth it, we tell you.

KitchenAid microwave repair: what to know

A short orientation before KitchenAid microwave service: KitchenAid's microwave range includes built-in microwave drawers, combination wall ovens and over-the-range convection models.

Failed magnetrons, faulty door switches, vent fan motor failures, and convection parts account for most of the KitchenAid microwave work we do. When people call, they typically report one of these: no heat, vent fan turning on by itself, and door not latching shut. An over-the-range vent fan that switches on by itself may simply be the automatic heat sensor responding to the burners underneath, not a fault. A microwave that runs without heating usually has a failed magnetron, diode or high-voltage capacitor, and none of these are DIY parts because the capacitor can hold a dangerous charge.

Because a convection microwave combines two cooking systems, a heating problem could be in either one. Microwave drawers rely on switches and motors that can fail. Over-the-range units depend on their vent fans.

Surges when the power returns after a thunderstorm are a common reason a microwave control board fails without warning. On an over-the-range model we also check the fan, the light and the vent damper.

Whirlpool distribution supplies KitchenAid parts, and many share a part number with a cheaper Whirlpool model. If the cause is the faulty door switches, the part and the labor go into a written estimate first, and the finished job carries 90 days on parts and 30 on labor.

Do not use an over-the-range microwave as a shelf for heavy items. Have the model and serial ready when you call about door not latching shut; it lets us check parts first.
