Expert Microwave Installation and Repair in the South Suburbs
Built-in and over-the-range microwaves are essential kitchen appliances that we rely on every single day. When they stop heating or the control panel goes completely dark, J.D. HARPS, Inc. is here to help. We provide safe, reliable microwave repair and secure installation services for homeowners in New Lenox and the surrounding South Suburbs. As a local family owned business, we focus on honest pricing and doing the job right the first time.
Signs Your Microwave Needs Professional Repair
Microwaves utilize high voltage capacitors that hold a lethal electrical charge long after the unit is unplugged. Because of this, you should never attempt a DIY repair on a microwave. If you notice any of these common issues, reach out to us during regular business hours:
- Not heating food: The microwave runs and the turntable spins, but your food stays completely cold. This is often caused by a failed magnetron or a bad high voltage diode.
- Sparking or arcing: Seeing flashes of light or sparks inside the cooking chamber is incredibly dangerous. Turn the unit off immediately and leave it unplugged until we arrive.
- Dead control panel: The display is totally blank and the buttons do not respond. This usually indicates a blown internal ceramic fuse or a faulty main control board.
- Turntable will not spin: A broken glass tray drive coupling or a burned out carousel motor will cause your food to heat unevenly.
Safe and Secure Installations
If your old microwave is beyond repair or you are simply upgrading your kitchen appliances, we handle complete installations. Over-the-range microwaves are heavy and require precise mounting to your wall studs and upper kitchen cabinets. They also require proper exhaust ventilation hookups.
We take the hassle and the heavy lifting out of the process. Our technicians will safely remove your old appliance, secure the new mounting bracket, connect the exhaust venting, and ensure the new microwave is perfectly leveled and ready to use.
We will give you a fair, honest quote before we begin the work, with zero hidden fees.
