Fast, professional Frigidaire microwave repair from technicians who fix Frigidaire microwaves frequently. Same or next business day on most calls.
Counted from our technicians' notes on 35 Frigidaire microwave service calls.
That combination means the heating side has failed while everything else still runs. Microwave heat comes from a high-voltage circuit made up of the magnetron, transformer, diode and capacitor, and if any one of them fails, heating stops. A door switch that doesn't confirm the door is closed will block heating as well.
The same goes for a microwave that won't start at all. On Frigidaire models, a door interlock switch is a frequent cause. Those switches cut power the moment the door opens, and daily use wears them out. A switch that fails can also blow the main fuse and leave the unit completely dead.
Turntable not turning? Make sure the glass tray and roller ring sit properly on the drive coupling. If they do and the tray still won't move, the turntable motor has probably failed. Keys that don't respond are a different problem. Rule out control lock first, and after that a worn keypad membrane or control board fault is likely.
Pulling the plug doesn't make a microwave safe to open. Its high-voltage capacitor keeps enough stored energy to cause a serious shock. Leave the outer cabinet on, and never bypass a fuse or door switch. Stop using it the moment it trips the breaker, hums loudly, smells burned or throws sparks, and pull the plug only when you can reach it without risk.
The model number is on the interior side trim or the left side panel of the opening, visible with the door open.
An over-the-range Frigidaire microwave doubles as the range hood. Wash the metal grease filters regularly and replace any that get bent. When the microwave recirculates air instead of venting outdoors, change the charcoal odor filter about every six months.
Door switches, fuses and turntable motors are modest repairs. A magnetron or control board costs more. On a countertop unit that's a closer call, but on a built-in or over-the-range model it still makes sense in a lot of cases, since replacing one also means removal and reinstallation.

If the light, fan and turntable all work but food stays cold, the high-voltage system isn't making microwave energy. The typical culprits are a failed magnetron, high-voltage diode or capacitor, or a door switch that isn't telling the control the door is shut. Because that capacitor stays charged even with the cord pulled, this isn't a safe repair to do yourself.
Check the simple part first. The glass tray needs to sit on the center coupling, with the roller ring in place and clean. A tray that's off its coupling won't turn even when the motor runs. Tray seated and still not moving during a cycle? Then the turntable motor under the cavity floor has likely failed.
About every six months. That carbon odor filter is used when the microwave recirculates air back into the kitchen instead of venting it outdoors. The metal grease filters are separate and washable, and they should be cleaned regularly because clogged ones cut down fan airflow.
The basic checks are fine. Reset the breaker, turn off control lock, reseat the turntable and clean the filters. Anything inside is another matter. The high-voltage capacitor stays charged after unplugging and can deliver a deadly shock, and the door switches are safety devices that stop the microwave from running with the door open. Leave everything behind the outer cabinet to a trained technician.
The trip and diagnostic fee starts at $129. Your technician quotes the repair upfront using the Appliance Blue Book, before any work begins, so you can decide with no surprises.
