At CareFix Appliance Repair, we provide microwave repair for countertop, over-the-range and built-in units across the Bay Area. When a microwave stops heating or starts sparking, reheating and quick meals stop with it. Our technician diagnoses the fault at your home and gives you a written estimate before any repair begins.
Find your microwave’s symptom below. Each one is a repair we handle at your home.

A microwave looks simple, but a high-voltage capacitor behind the panel can hold a dangerous charge even when it is unplugged. A technician tests the parts in order, so the one that failed gets replaced and the rest stay untouched.
We are based in San Ramon and repair microwaves in four counties, from the Tri-Valley and central Contra Costa to the Peninsula and Palo Alto.

Five-star Google reviews from CareFix customers.
“Excellent service. I will use CareFix again and recommend them to others. Our refrigerator died suddenly and as you might imagine, it’s very stressful. Just the loss of food can be expensive but nothing compared to a new refrigerator. I found CareFix online and once I requested service Luke contacted me right away and come out very quickly. Luke was professional and knowledgeable. He diagnosed the problems and explained it to me and answered any questions I had. The repair costs would have been quite high. Luke urged me to contact the manufacturer because the warranty likely had not expired. I did contact them and the refrigerator will be fixed at no cost to me. If it all works out Luke will have saved me thousands of dollars. I can’t thank Luke enough for the work, the information and the advice. He is very personable and thoughtful and made a stressful situation manageable. He even put on shoe covers when he came in the house.”
The $75 service call covers the in-home diagnosis and a written estimate. If you approve the repair, we waive the $75. We do not quote repair prices over the phone, because the failed part sets the cost.
Often, for built-in and over-the-range models, which cost more to replace than a countertop unit. For a basic countertop microwave, we tell you honestly if the repair is not worth it.
The fan, light and turntable run on separate circuits from the heating system. A failed high-voltage diode or capacitor, or the magnetron, is a common cause. Unplug the unit and call a technician.
We offer same-day or next-day appointments when available. Call or send the form, and we book the first window that suits you.
We repair microwaves in Contra Costa, Alameda, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, from San Ramon and the Tri-Valley to the Peninsula and Palo Alto.
