What the listings say about microwave repair in Florida

Counted from the 11 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.

Florida holds 11 listed microwave repair businesses, out of 209 nationwide. That ranks 2nd of the 50 states with any, behind Texas on 14. They are 11 of the 44 businesses listed in Florida — 25% of the state directory.

Their ratings average 4.7, against 4.6 across all 209 listed nationwide, and 11 of the 11 sit at 4.5 or better. 2 hold a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 2,388 reviews, the largest single tally being 1,409 on Excellence Appliance Repair in Orlando. Rating and review volume are what the businesses' own public profiles report — treat a high average on six reviews differently from the same average on six hundred.

By review volume the group is led by Excellence Appliance Repair in Orlando (1,409 reviews, 4.9), Flamingo Appliance Service in Miami (482 reviews, 4.6) and Nonstop Appliance Repair in Miami (148 reviews, 4.7). By rating it is Tampa Bay Appliance Repair at 5.0 on 124 reviews, BIG MIKE'S Appliance Service at 5.0 on 29 reviews and Excellence Appliance Repair at 4.9 on 1,409 reviews. Those are two different questions and they rarely give the same answer — volume tells you a company has been doing this at scale, a high average on a handful of reviews tells you much less.

9 of the 11 state that they are licensed, and 9 state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 3 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation, 3 state a factory-authorised or factory-trained credential and 1 publishes a parts-and-labor warranty term in the profiles. 1 of the 11 advertises 24/7 emergency callout. All of that is self-stated in the listing, not verified here: ask for the license number and a current certificate of insurance, and for anything that opens a sealed refrigerant system ask to see federal EPA Section 608 certification, which is required in all fifty states.

8 of the 11 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1997, and the median across those that say is 20 years. Miami holds the most at 3 — 27% of the group — level with Orlando, across 4 Florida cities with an index page. Between them they name 55 distinct towns, suburbs and neighborhoods in their stated service areas, so coverage reaches well past the cities listed here — give your address when you call rather than assuming.

What Florida technicians find most often

The 5 most common microwave faults, and whether each is homeowner work or a job for a licensed technician.

All 8 faults
  • Runs, lights up, turntable spins, but food stays cold

    Technician

    The magnetron, high-voltage diode, or capacitor has failed. The control side works because it is on a separate low-voltage circuit.

    Step-by-step: Microwave Runs But Doesn't Heat
  • Completely dead, no display, no fan

    Technician

    A blown line fuse — and that fuse is usually blown by a failing door interlock switch, so replacing the fuse alone rarely holds.

  • Loud buzzing or humming while heating

    Technician

    A failing magnetron or a high-voltage transformer starting to break down. Stop using it and have it tested.

  • Sparking or arcing inside the cavity

    Technician

    A burnt or missing waveguide cover, chipped cavity paint exposing bare metal, or metal in the food. Stop immediately — arcing damages the magnetron fast.

    Step-by-step: Microwave Sparking Inside
  • Turntable does not rotate

    Technician

    The turntable drive motor or a stripped coupler. The one genuinely low-cost microwave fault.

    Step-by-step: Microwave Turntable Not Turning

Try these before you book a Florida technician

10 published microwave guides. A diagnostic fee is $40–$80 before any work starts, so half an hour with a flashlight is worth spending.

All guides →

Keep the next call from happening

Ask the technician to walk you through these while they are on site — every one of them prevents a fault in the list above.

  • Wipe the cavity and check the waveguide cover for burn marks

    Weekly

    Prevents: Arcing, which destroys magnetrons quickly and permanently.

  • Wash or replace the grease filters (over-the-range)

    Every 3 months

    Prevents: Loss of extraction and a vent motor running against a blocked path.

  • Replace the charcoal filter on recirculating models

    Every 6–12 months

    Prevents: Cooking odours pushed back into the room.

What microwave repair costs in Florida

National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $40–$80 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro Florida sits toward the top of each range and rural calls toward the bottom, while the part costs about the same anywhere. Nothing here is a quote.

Full cost breakdown →
Typical microwave repair jobs with national cost ranges.
RepairParts + labor
Turntable motor or couplerThe cheapest genuine microwave repair.$80–$160
Door interlock switch setReplaced as a set; a single switch rarely fails alone.$100–$200
Line fuse plus the interlock that blew itFuse-only repairs usually fail again within weeks.$100–$200
Vent fan motor (over-the-range)Check the filters first — they mimic a dead fan.$150–$300
High-voltage diode or capacitorDischarging the capacitor safely is the whole reason this is not DIY.$150–$280
Magnetron replacementWorth it on a built-in; almost never on a countertop unit.$150–$350

7–10 years. Over-the-range units land at the lower end because they run hot above a cooktop and their filters are neglected. When replacing beats repairing covers the 4 cases where the maths turns, in full.

Microwave repair in Florida — common questions

How many microwave repair pros are listed in Florida?
11 businesses listed in Florida name microwave repair among the work they do — 25% of the 44 businesses this directory holds for the state, 2nd of the 50 states with any, out of 209 listed nationwide — 5% of them. Miami accounts for 3 of them. The directory is a sample of the market, not a register of every company trading in Florida.
Which microwave repair companies are rated highest in Florida?
Tampa Bay Appliance Repair in Tampa at 5.0 on 124 reviews, BIG MIKE'S Appliance Service in Longwood at 5.0 on 29 reviews, Excellence Appliance Repair in Orlando at 4.9 on 1,409 reviews — that is the order the list on this page uses. The most-reviewed is different: Excellence Appliance Repair in Orlando, with 1,409 reviews at 4.9. Read both — a 5.0 on nine reviews and a 4.6 on four hundred are not the same claim.
How much does microwave repair cost in Florida?
Expect $100–$250 for a common microwave repair, parts and labor together, on top of a $40–$80 diagnostic fee that most companies credit against the work if you go ahead. Those are national bands, not Florida quotes: labor rates track local wages and drive time, so a dense metro sits at the top of each range and a rural call at the bottom, while the part itself costs about the same anywhere. Get written estimates from two or three of the 11 listed here before authorizing anything.
Which Florida city has the most microwave repair companies?
Miami, with 3 of the 11 — 27% of the group — followed by Orlando on 3. 4 Florida cities in total have at least one.
Are microwave repair technicians licensed in Florida?
9 of the 11 listed here state that they are licensed, and 9 state that they carry insurance. 3 also show a Better Business Bureau accreditation. Licensing for appliance repair is set state by state and sometimes by city or county, so the reliable check is the paperwork: ask which license the company works under, get the number, and confirm it with the issuing authority. Two requirements are national rather than local — sealed refrigerant work needs federal EPA Section 608 certification, and gas work needs a technician qualified for gas appliances.
Can I get same-day or emergency microwave repair in Florida?
1 of the 11 listed here advertises 24/7 emergency availability and carries a badge in the ranked list above. Many of the others take same-day work for common faults without advertising it, so it is worth asking — especially early in the day, before the route is full.
Which microwave brands do Florida repair pros service?
The microwave pros listed in Florida name 28 distinct brands between them. The most widely covered are Frigidaire (11), GE (11), LG (11), Maytag (11), KitchenAid (10), Samsung (10). Built-in and drawer microwaves from Sharp, Wolf, Miele and Thermador are trim-kit specific, so a replacement has to match the existing cabinet opening exactly. That is precisely why repairing them usually beats replacing them.
How long have Florida microwave repair companies been in business?
8 of the 11 publish one. The longest-established has been trading since 1997, and the median across those that say is 20 years. 1 publishes a parts-and-labor warranty term in the listing. Use it as one signal among several: what matters more is whether the technician has opened your platform before, and whether the warranty term is written on the invoice.
Should I repair or replace my microwave?
Apply the 50% rule. A new microwave averages $250 in the US and lasts about 9 years, so a repair quote over roughly $125 on a unit past 6 years old is usually money better spent on a replacement. Below that line, with life left on the clock, repair almost always wins. Ask for parts and labor as separate figures — it is normally the part, not the hours, that pushes a quote past the threshold.
What should I have ready before calling a microwave technician in Florida?
Countertop, over-the-range, or built-in — this decides whether repair makes economic sense at all. Whether the display and fan work but food stays cold, or nothing works at all. Whether you have seen or heard arcing. Having those three answers ready is what turns a diagnose-then-return-visit into a single trip. Worth knowing before you call: 4 of the 11 listed in Florida also offer cooktop repair and 3 offer appliance installation, which can be worth bundling into the same visit.
