Do you repair countertop microwaves?

Generally, no. Inexpensive countertop microwaves are usually cheaper to replace than to repair. We strongly focus our repair services on built-in microwaves, over-the-range microwaves, and combination microwave/oven wall units where replacement is costly and requires professional installation.

Why is my built-in microwave running but not heating food?

If the microwave turns on, the turntable spins, and the light works, but the food stays cold, the magnetron (the component that generates microwaves) or the high-voltage diode has likely failed. Because these components hold lethal electrical charges even when unplugged, they must be tested and replaced by a professional.

My garbage disposal is just humming. Can it be fixed?

Yes! A humming garbage disposal usually means the motor is getting power but the impellers are jammed (often by an unpopped popcorn kernel, a bone, or glass). We can safely clear the jam and reset the unit. If the motor is burned out, we can also install a replacement disposal.

Why is my wine cooler not getting cold enough?

Wine coolers use either thermoelectric cooling or traditional compressor systems. If it's not cooling, it could be a failed condenser fan, a bad thermostat, or a freon leak. We can diagnose and repair both types of systems to protect your wine investment.

My standalone ice machine stopped making ice. What's wrong?

Ice machines require a steady flow of clean water. In Abilene, hard water scale is the most common culprit, clogging the water inlet valve or the water distribution tube. It could also be a failed bin thermistor that incorrectly senses the ice bin is full.
