Microwave Repair in Point Loma
A built-in or over-the-range microwave is worth repairing in a way a countertop unit is not: it is fitted to the cabinetry, matched to the rest of the kitchen, and replacing it often means a trim kit that no longer exists. The two faults behind most calls are also the two extremes of the job. A unit that lights up, runs, and leaves the food cold has lost the high-voltage side — magnetron, diode or capacitor — and that is measured, not guessed at. A unit that is dead at the panel is usually a door interlock switch, a small part that fails from ordinary use. We will say plainly when the repair is not worth making; on these appliances it sometimes is not.
What this covers in Point Loma
Built-in and over-the-range units that run without heating, trip the breaker, or go dead at the panel.
- Runs but does not heat — magnetron, diode and capacitor, tested rather than swapped
- Dead at the panel — door interlock switches, the commonest fault and the cheapest
- Trips the breaker — a shorted diode or capacitor, which is also why these are not a DIY repair
- Turntable will not turn — drive motor or coupler
- Vent fan or light out on an over-the-range unit — usually independent of the cooking fault

Reviews
Water turning up along the front of the unit, and with the original wood floor in this galley kitchen I was not going to wait. Called first thing and he was here the same afternoon. Defrost drain frozen shut; he opened it and showed me the plug of ice.

Rattle behind the bottom grille, getting louder each week. Condenser fan bearing, still turning, so a small job. He said salt air out here is hard on them. Fast, tidy, explained what he was doing.
- ★★★★★
Two other outfits had been out to the Wolf and both wanted to talk about a new range. He put a probe in the oven, compared it against what the control believed, and it was the sensor plus a door that had settled. Roasting takes the time it used to again.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Coronado and downtown as well as the peninsula itself?
Yes. Coverage runs the whole peninsula and the streets attached to it: 92106, 92107 and 92110, taking in Ocean Beach and Sunset Cliffs on the ocean side, La Playa and the Midway District on the bay side, and Loma Portal and the Wooded Area in between. It carries over the bridge into Coronado and north into downtown San Diego at 92101.
Is the phone really answered at two in the morning in Point Loma?
Yes. Someone answers at any hour of any day, holidays included. Peninsula addresses are usually reached the same day, frequently within a few hours, and on a day when that cannot happen you are told during the call rather than left waiting on a window that was never coming. Booking online is open at all hours too.
