Frequently asked questions
Microwave Repair in Woodbridge, VA FAQ
We're based in Alexandria, about 15 miles from Woodbridge. Same-day and next-day appointments are available when the technician route has open windows; call or book online for the earliest option. Appointments cost the same on weekdays, evenings and weekends - our hours run 8 AM to 10 PM Monday through Saturday and 10 AM to 10 PM on Sunday, all at one standard rate.
Many microwave repairs are completed in a single visit once the technician has diagnosed the fault and confirmed the parts on hand. If a specific part has to be ordered, we schedule a short return visit to finish the job.
Door switches and diodes are inexpensive; a magnetron costs more but usually still beats replacing a built-in unit and matching the cabinetry. We quote after diagnosis, before any work - and the high-voltage interior is exactly why this is never a do-it-yourself estimate. The diagnostic visit is $75 for a single appliance or $115 for a double unit (such as a double wall oven, washer-dryer combo or stacked laundry), and the fee is credited toward the repair if you approve the quote. Typical price ranges by appliance are in our appliance repair cost guide.
Common calls include microwave not heating, turntable not moving, sparking inside, door switch failure, control panel issue and unusual noise. The exact cause is confirmed during diagnosis.
We service many major brands including Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, GE, Bosch, KitchenAid, Miele, Thermador, Viking, Wolf and others when parts and access are available.
Yes. Appliance Surgeon is licensed for appliance repair in Virginia, Washington, DC and Maryland. Every repair is covered by a 90-day warranty on parts and labor, starting the day the repair is finished. The technician explains the terms before the job is complete.
Only two checks are safe: the outlet and breaker, and whether the door closes fully. Stop there - the high-voltage capacitor inside holds a dangerous charge even when the microwave is unplugged, which is why this is the one appliance we tell everyone never to open.
