"I so A-type I should come with a Cape to announce this as my super power. I had not one trust issue with his crew in my home. Jeff was amazing and I cannot express how patient I know he and his crew were with me. I notice all the tiny things. Often before I see the big picture. Jeff did I think no less than 5 designs before we had a finished one I was OK with. I had 2 major items i wanted but had to pick just one. It was clear he likely knew far before me which I'd pick but made sure it was my decision. The did everything. i literally had them gut my kitchen, New wiring for main line an can/recess lights, meaning the box had to be moved and light switch replaced-with dimmers and painted to match my wall . They took up tile floor and replaced it. Moved my plumbing for my sink the max they could do accomodate the side drain sink I wanted . Ran a water line for my fridge as there was none (22/23 year old condo). They put in brand new custom cabinets. NOTE I had tried to start with another company who said I HAD TO do standard cabinets. Jeff helped me pick appliances that would fit (sizes at least so i knew where to start) hooked me up with ADU for appliances. I did the counters, new paint etc. etc. Not one thing was not replaced. I got a lazy susan corner cabinet i was told I couldn't get by another person. I extended cabinets out over my fridge so I could use them (Im under 5 foot) they ensure I could actually USE my kitchen. It is beautiful. They were beyond considerate and clean.. Even during demolition blocking off the hall with plastic to prevent the dust from hitting my intake for my ac etc. My other half will get their kitchen done by them in 2020 and several people have asked for who did it so they can reach out. I will say they are fair in price. The first guy (no custom cabinet, no new appliance, no new floor) was over 10 grand MORE than Waterstone total came in with everything-including Custom cabinets with inserts (yes solid wood) and brand new mid grade stainless steel appliances (all microwave, dishwasher, stove and fridge). You can shop around but let me save you time GO HERE! As others have said costs are clearly presented in an excel like grid with a variance column. I came within in $145 of initial budget-I was under. No surprises anywhere. Honest, transparent, up front. all those buzz words. I was a small project compared to homes in my area, but i never felt small. Others I called said i was too small for them to even consider working on. Old school values. ALL customers count. i never felt anyone was unresponsive and they were respectful of my time. The after install inspection is great too. They review how to clean all the new items and take care of anything you might find off. It took i think 6 days of work to redo all. Granted about 2 calendar weeks or so as they do as all contractors work more than one project at a time."

Magnetrons burn out when their magnets crack, terminals overheat, or internal connections loosen. Excess heat does most of the damage, so make sure the vents stay clear and the unit has breathing room on all sides. Good airflow and routine cleaning go a long way toward keeping the magnetron alive.
Microwave diodes wear out after years of electrical stress or a sudden short. Telltale signs of a failed microwave diode include a loud hum or a sharp burning odor during a cycle. Catching those symptoms early and calling an appliance repair pro for replacement keeps the rest of the circuitry safe and the microwave heating properly.
Warning signs include no heat, sluggish cook times, sparks, odd noises, burning smells, or a unit that keeps running with the door open. A glitchy touchpad or a door that won’t latch also signals trouble. If the microwave is past its 10-year mark, those symptoms usually mean it’s time to repair or replace it.
It makes sense to fix a microwave if the repair costs less than a new unit and the appliance isn’t past its prime. Built-in or high-end models are good candidates for repair, while a budget countertop unit over 10 years old is usually cheaper to replace. Compare repair quotes with new‑purchase prices before you decide.
Wiping down the cavity weekly keeps grease from clogging vents and trapping heat around key parts. A quick steam‑clean with lemon, vinegar, or baking soda loosens stuck‑on food without harsh chemicals.
Sticking to a simple schedule reduces overheating, extends the microwave's lifespan, and helps it reach its full potential. Seeking advice from an appliance repair technician on maintenance tips can help you prolong the useful life of your microwave.
