Microwave Oven Repair Across the UAE
A microwave that runs but doesn't heat, or one that sparks when it's on — FETSCO repairs countertop, built-in and combination microwave ovens from every major brand.
Common Microwave Oven problems we fix
Common issue
Microwave runs but doesn't heat
Likely cause: A failed magnetron (the component that generates the heat), or a faulty high-voltage diode/capacitor.
How we fix it — We test the magnetron and high-voltage circuit and replace the failed component — this repair is always quoted before work begins given the part cost involved.
Common issue
Sparking inside the microwave
Likely cause: Usually metal debris or a damaged waveguide cover, sometimes a failing magnetron.
How we fix it — We inspect and replace the waveguide cover if damaged, and check the magnetron if sparking continues.
Common issue
Turntable not turning
Likely cause: A worn turntable motor or a misaligned roller ring.
How we fix it — We replace the turntable motor or realign/replace the roller ring.
Common issue
Display not working or buttons unresponsive
Likely cause: A control panel or control board fault.
How we fix it — We test the control board and keypad membrane and replace whichever has failed.
How we install your microwave oven
Placement & ventilation check
For built-in units, we confirm the cabinet cut-out has the correct ventilation clearance specified by the manufacturer.
Electrical connection
Connected to a correctly-rated, dedicated outlet where required — microwaves draw significant power on a short circuit.
Built-in fitting (if applicable)
Unit is fitted flush and secured per manufacturer brackets for built-in/combination models.
Function test
Heating, turntable and any grill/convection functions are tested before handover.
Genuine parts, every major brand
Microwave Oven repair — questions we get
Stop using it and book a repair — sparking can damage the magnetron further and, rarely, indicates a door seal issue that affects safety.
Our technician will tell you honestly — a magnetron replacement is a meaningful share of some units' price, so for older units we'll flag if replacement makes more sense.
Yes, including combination microwave-grill and microwave-convection units.
Often the magnetron nearing end of life, or occasionally just the turntable motor — worth a diagnostic visit if it's a new sound.
