Microwave Repair & Service in Kolkata

Microwave repair and service overview

We repair and service microwave ovens at your home across Kolkata. Most faults are diagnosed and fixed on site in a single visit. Only work that needs a bench — a control board repair, for example — requires the oven to be collected, and we will tell you before taking it.

A microwave is worth repairing far more often than people assume. A turntable motor, a door interlock switch, a cooling fan or a waveguide cover costs a fraction of a new oven, and on mid-range and convection models even a magnetron replacement is usually better value than replacing the appliance.

Problems we repair

• Runs but does not heat — the turntable turns, the light is on, the timer counts down, and the food stays cold. This points to the high-voltage circuit: magnetron, diode, capacitor or transformer. This is never a do-it-yourself repair — a microwave capacitor can hold a lethal charge long after the oven is unplugged.
• Sparking inside the cavity — usually metal in the oven, carbonised food residue, or a burnt waveguide cover. The cover is inexpensive; running the oven with a damaged one can destroy the magnetron, which is not.
• Will not start — commonly a failed door interlock switch. Microwaves use several so the oven cannot run with the door open. This is a safety system and is never bypassed.
• Turntable not rotating — the turntable motor, the coupler, or debris in the roller ring. One of the cheaper repairs and almost always worth doing.
• Display or touch panel not responding — usually a failed membrane keypad, sometimes the control board. Steam getting behind the panel over years of use is the usual cause.
• Door not closing properly — a worn latch or hinge. Worth fixing promptly, because a poor door seal is both a performance and a safety issue.
• Loud or unusual noise — often the cooling fan or the magnetron. A clear change in the sound of an oven is worth investigating early.
• Convection or grill not working — the grill and convection elements fail independently of the microwave function, so an oven can microwave normally while the grill is dead.
• Tripping the power — an electrical fault that needs proper diagnosis rather than repeated resetting.

Types of microwave we service

• Solo microwaves — heating and reheating only.
• Grill microwaves — with a separate grill element.
• Convection microwaves — combination ovens with a fan and heating element for baking.
• Built-in and over-the-range ovens — including units fitted into modular kitchen cabinetry.

Our services

Repair and diagnostics

Full testing of the high-voltage circuit, interlocks, control board, turntable assembly and cooling system, with the fault explained before any repair is agreed.

Servicing and cleaning

Cavity and waveguide cleaning, checking the door seal and interlocks, testing the fan and airflow, and inspecting the cover for burn damage.

Maintenance advice

Most microwave repairs we attend were avoidable. Never run the oven empty — with no food to absorb the energy, the magnetron absorbs it instead, and that is the fastest way to destroy a microwave. Cover food to stop splatter baking onto the waveguide cover. Wipe the cavity while it is still slightly warm. Keep the vents clear, because an oven pushed flush against a wall runs hot, and heat is what kills control boards.

Brands we service

We are an independent repair service, not an authorised service centre, and are not affiliated with any manufacturer. We work on LG, Samsung, IFB, Whirlpool, Panasonic, Godrej, Onida, Electrolux, Sharp, Kenstar, Bajaj, Koryo and GE ovens.

How the service works

1. Call or message us with the brand, the model number and the symptom. The model number is on a sticker on the back or inside the door frame.
2. We agree a visit time for your address.
3. The technician tests the oven and identifies the fault.
4. You are told the cost before the repair goes ahead.
5. The repair is completed, on site wherever possible.

When replacement is the better option

Repair is normally worth it when the cavity and door are sound and one component has failed. Replacement makes more sense when the cavity has rusted through, when the door or hinge is damaged in a way that compromises the seal, or when a magnetron fails on an entry-level oven already well past its warranty. We will say plainly which side of that line your oven falls on rather than quoting for a repair that does not make financial sense.
