Amana Microwave Repair in San Diego

On the Amana side of the microwave market, Amana microwaves are basic countertop and over-the-range units, a category the brand helped start with the Radarange.

When an Amana microwave breaks down, it is usually magnetrons, door switches, turntable motors, or keypads. The symptoms that bring us out include not heating, turntable not turning, and door switch faults. If the turntable stops but the oven heats, the turntable motor or coupler under the tray is usually the only fault. A microwave that trips the breaker when the door opens or closes usually has a failed door switch or monitor switch.

Countertop Amana microwaves are often cheaper to replace than to repair if the magnetron fails. Turntable motors, door switches and keypads are cheaper repairs and often worth doing. Over-the-range models are more worth repairing because installation adds to replacement cost.

In rentals, a microwave gets hard use and rough doors, and door switches are the usual casualty. Before quoting, we confirm whether the fault is in the control, the door circuit or the high-voltage section, since the repair math differs for each.

Amana parts come through Whirlpool distribution and are generally inexpensive and available within a day or two. Even a common job such as the turntable motors gets a written estimate up front, and our 90-day parts / 30-day labor warranty applies once it is done.

Close the door gently; slamming it is the usual cause of door switch failure. We handle buttons not responding on Amana microwaves across San Diego County, from the beaches to the East County.
