When to Repair vs Replace?

When deciding whether to repair or replace your microwave, consider several factors:

​

  1. Age: If your microwave is relatively new and the repair costs are reasonable compared to a replacement, repairing it may be the better choice.

  2. Cost: Minor issues might warrant a simple repair, but if you have a basic model that costs less than $100, a replacement could be more cost-effective.

  3. Efficiency: Older models with significant problems may indicate it’s time for an upgrade.

  4. Warranty: Check if your microwave is still under warranty. If so, repairs might be covered.

  5. Type of Problem:

    • One-Component Issues: If the problem involves a single component (e.g., broken door handle, glass plate), repairs are often worth it.

    • Surface-Level Problems: Scratches, cracks, and visible issues are usually easier to repair than you might think.

    • Small Malfunctions: Minor wobbles or stiff door latches can often be fixed with cleaning or quick replacements.

    • Installation Issues: For mounted microwaves, installation problems can be solved without getting a new microwave.

​

Remember, it’s essential to weigh the costs, convenience, and long-term benefits when making your decision. If you still help in determining what to do. Book an appointment with our Fix It Guy techs to get pointed in the right direction.
