We Repair All Types of Microwave Ovens

Microwaves come in three main types — and each has its own quirks when it comes to faults. Our technicians work across all three.

📡

Solo Microwave

Basic heating and reheating. Most common faults: not heating, fuse blown, turntable not spinning. Found in most Lucknow kitchens.

🔥

Grill Microwave

Has a heating element for grilling. Grill element burnout, uneven heating, sparking near element — all fixable in most cases.

🍕

Convection Microwave

Fan + heating for baking. More components = more points of failure. Fan motor, convection element, control board issues handled.

🏢

Commercial / OTG

Heavy-use units in restaurants, hostels, offices in Lucknow. We handle commercial microwave and OTG repair for light commercial use.

Lucknow Specific

Voltage fluctuations are a known issue in several Lucknow areas — particularly during evening hours in older residential sectors. Microwaves are sensitive to power spikes. This is one of the leading causes of blown fuses, failed magnetrons, and damaged control boards in Lucknow homes. If your microwave stopped working after a power cut or voltage surge, that’s often the starting point for diagnosis.

Microwave Problems We Get Called For in Lucknow

Here are the most common faults we see — along with what usually causes them. This helps you describe the problem clearly when you call.

❄️

Microwave running but not heating

The most searched problem. Usually a failed magnetron — the core component that generates heat. Also check high-voltage diode or capacitor. The light works, plate spins, but food stays cold.

Sparking or flashing inside

Caused by metallic residue, a damaged waveguide cover, or a failing magnetron. Don’t use the microwave further if it’s sparking — it’s a safety issue that needs prompt attention.
🔇

Microwave not turning on at all

Blown thermal fuse or ceramic fuse (often after a power surge), faulty door switch, or a dead control board. Very common in Lucknow after voltage spikes.
🔄

Turntable plate not rotating

Turntable motor failure, broken coupling (the plastic drive piece), or a worn guide ring. Food heats unevenly without the rotation. Simple fix in most cases.
📟

Display blank or not working

Could be a power board issue, a blown component on the control panel, or a loose ribbon cable connecting the display. Needs proper testing to diagnose.
🔘

Buttons not responding / keypad dead

Membrane keypad damage, moisture under the touchpad, or a control board issue. If only some buttons work, it’s usually the keypad itself.
🚪

Door not opening / closing properly

Broken door latch, worn hinge, or a faulty door switch. A microwave won’t start if the door switch doesn’t register the door as fully closed.
🔊

Unusual noise — humming, buzzing or rattling

A loud hum often points to a struggling magnetron or faulty diode. Rattling is usually a loose turntable assembly or fan. Buzzing after cooking stops can be normal — constant buzzing isn’t.
🌡️

Grill or convection function not working

Grill element burnout or convection fan motor failure. The basic microwave mode works but baking or grilling doesn’t — common in older convection models.
🍳

Heating unevenly — food hot on outside, cold inside

A non-rotating turntable is usually responsible. Can also be a weak magnetron producing lower-than-normal power. Worth checking the turntable first.
💨

Microwave overheating and shutting off

Thermal cut-out (thermoprotector) tripping due to blocked ventilation or a failing cooling fan. The microwave restarts after cooling down but shouldn’t be doing this regularly.
👃

Burning smell from the microwave

Could be food residue burning on the waveguide cover (cleaning fixes this) or a more serious electrical burn inside. If the smell is sharp and electrical, stop using it and call for a check.
⚠️ Safety note: Microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can hold a lethal charge even when unplugged. Internal repairs should never be attempted without the proper discharge tools and training. If your microwave is sparking, burning, or making sharp electrical smells — switch it off at the socket and don’t use it until a technician checks it.
What We Fix

Microwave Oven Repair Services We Offer in Lucknow

All repairs are done at your home. For faults needing workshop-level work, the technician explains clearly before taking any action.

📡

Magnetron Repair / Replacement

The magnetron is the heart of a microwave — it generates the heat. When it fails, food stops cooking even though everything else seems to work. We test it properly before recommending replacement, as it’s one of the pricier parts.

🔌

Fuse & Power Supply Repair

Blown thermal fuse and ceramic fuse are the most common cause of “completely dead” microwaves — especially after a power surge in Lucknow. Fuse replacement is quick and cost-effective when it’s the only issue.

💻

Control Board & PCB Repair

Display issues, unresponsive controls, and mode failures often trace back to the control board. We check for component-level faults before recommending a full board replacement, which can be expensive.

🚪

Door Switch & Latch Repair

A faulty door switch is a safety mechanism — the microwave won’t start without it registering the door as shut. We replace door switches, latches, and hinges for most brands in a single visit.

🔄

Turntable Motor & Coupling

If the plate isn’t rotating, we check the motor, the plastic drive coupling, and the guide ring. Usually a simple, inexpensive fix — but important for even cooking.

🌡️

Grill Element & Convection Fan Repair

Grill heating elements burn out over time — especially with heavy use. Convection fan motors seize up or fail gradually. We replace both for most grill and convection microwave models.

🛡️

Waveguide Cover Replacement

The mica waveguide cover inside the microwave absorbs food splatter over time and can cause sparking when damaged. Replacing it is inexpensive and restores safe operation — often overlooked by other technicians.

🔑

Keypad & Display Replacement

Worn membrane keypads and damaged LED/LCD displays are replaced with compatible parts. Older models may need sourcing time for specific panels — we’ll be upfront about availability.

People Also Ask

Microwave Repair FAQs — Lucknow

The questions people search most before booking microwave repair in Lucknow — answered honestly.

Why is my microwave running but not heating food?
This is the single most common microwave complaint. The plate spins, the light comes on, the timer counts down — but food stays cold. The most likely cause is a failed magnetron (the component that actually generates heat). It can also be a faulty high-voltage diode or capacitor, which prevents the magnetron from receiving proper power. A technician can test each component to identify the actual fault before recommending any expensive part replacement.
My microwave is sparking inside — is it safe to use?
No — stop using it until it’s checked. Sparking inside a microwave is usually caused by a damaged or dirty waveguide cover (the flat mica panel inside the cavity), metallic residue from foil or utensils, or a deteriorating magnetron. A damaged waveguide cover is an inexpensive fix. However, sparking from the magnetron area is more serious. Either way, running a sparking microwave can cause further internal damage or, in rare cases, a fire risk.
Why did my microwave stop working after a power cut in Lucknow?
Voltage surges during power restoration — common in Lucknow’s older residential areas — can blow the microwave’s internal fuse (thermal or ceramic). This is the most frequent cause of “completely dead” microwaves after power cuts. The fuse is a safety component designed to protect more expensive parts. If only the fuse blew, it’s a quick and affordable repair. If the surge was large enough to damage the control board or magnetron, the repair becomes more involved.
How much does microwave repair cost in Lucknow?
It depends on what’s wrong. A fuse replacement typically costs ₹300–₹600. Turntable motor and door switch repairs are usually ₹400–₹800. Keypad or control board issues range from ₹700–₹2,000. Magnetron replacement — the most expensive repair — ranges from ₹1,800–₹4,500 depending on the brand and model. The technician gives you an exact quote after diagnosis, before touching anything.
Is it worth repairing a microwave, or should I buy a new one?
For most repairs — fuse, door switch, turntable motor, keypad — the answer is yes, repair makes sense. For magnetron replacement on a solo microwave that’s over 6–7 years old, the maths gets closer. A new basic solo microwave starts around ₹4,000–₹5,500, and a magnetron repair on an older unit can cost ₹2,500–₹4,000. In that situation, we’ll lay out the numbers for you and let you decide — no pressure either way.
Can you repair convection microwave ovens?
Yes. Convection microwaves have additional components — a heating element and a fan motor — that can fail independently of the microwave function. We repair grill element burnouts, convection fan motor failures, and issues with the convection mode specifically (where the basic microwave function still works but baking doesn’t). We service convection models from LG, IFB, Samsung, Whirlpool, Panasonic, and others.
Why does my microwave work sometimes and not other times?
Intermittent faults are usually caused by a failing door switch (the microwave cuts out if the door contact is slightly loose), a failing thermal fuse that trips under heat and resets when cool, or a control board with a damaged solder joint that makes and breaks contact. These can be tricky to catch without proper testing equipment — but a technician familiar with intermittent faults will know what to check first.
My microwave display is blank but the microwave still works — what’s wrong?
A blank display with functioning microwave suggests the display panel itself has failed rather than the control board. In many models, the display module is separate from the logic board. It could also be a loose ribbon cable connecting the display. This is a moderately priced repair — typically ₹600–₹1,500 depending on part availability for your specific model.
What is the waveguide cover and why does it matter?
The waveguide cover is the flat, usually rectangular mica or plastic sheet inside the microwave cavity — typically on the right side wall. It protects the internal waveguide from food splatter and moisture. When it gets coated with burned food residue or becomes cracked, it causes sparking inside the microwave. Replacing it is inexpensive (₹150–₹350) and is something many technicians overlook — but it’s important for safe operation.
Do you repair microwave ovens on Sundays in Lucknow?
Yes. RepairCart operates 7 days a week, including Sundays and most public holidays across Lucknow. Kitchen appliance failures don’t follow a weekday schedule — so neither does our service.
Can a microwave that smells of burning be repaired?
It depends on the source of the smell. Food residue burning on the waveguide cover or cavity walls produces a smell that clears after cleaning — not a sign of serious fault. An electrical burning smell (sharper, more acrid) suggests internal component damage and needs proper diagnosis. In either case, stop using the microwave and have it checked. Don’t run a microwave with an undiagnosed burning smell.
Do you repair microwaves for restaurants and offices in Lucknow?
Yes, for light commercial use. We service microwaves used in restaurants, cafés, hostels, offices, and salons across Lucknow. Commercial units tend to have heavier usage wear — magnetrons and door switches wear out faster. We can assess whether repair is viable or whether the unit has reached end of useful life.
