Few things around the house have the potential to hurt you, and your wallet, like a home appliance breaking down. While many appliances can be easily fixed with a little know-how and common household tools, other appliances are not suited for casual repair and require the expertise of a trained professional. In the case of the microwave oven, it turns out that while many problems require the help of people who have been trained in their repair, there are some microwave repair projects that can be done at home, saving a trip to the repair shop.

When working on a microwave, as with any other type of electrical equipment, the first step should always be to unplug the device from its power source. This may seem like common sense, but it’s not always easy to disconnect a microwave from the power grid, especially if it is a unit that is mounted over the stove. As a result, some people will attempt to open up the microwave without disconnecting the power first. This is a mistake with the potential to be deadly.

One example of a problem with a microwave that can be fixed at home occurs when something catches on fire in the microwave. Most newer microwaves feature safety devices that will shut down the microwave when this happens. These safety shutdown devices are controlled by thermostats that regulate the temperature inside the unit. If a microwave gets too hot because something is burning, the thermostats will trigger the shutdown of the unit. Regaining use of the microwave requires the resetting of these thermostats.

Another simple repair that can be performed at home is the replacement of light bulbs. This is among the easiest of home microwave repairs, but many people are too frightened by the prospect of damaging their microwave to do it themselves. The warning against keeping your microwave plugged in is especially important here, not just for safety reasons, but because replacing a microwave light bulb with the power running risks damaging the microwave’s smart board - a costly replacement.

These are only two of the types of microwave repair jobs that can be done at home. Depending on your model, there may be a number of additional projects that you can do to save time and money and still keep your microwave running smoothly.
