What the listings say about microwave repair in Texas

Counted from the 14 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.

Texas holds 14 listed microwave repair businesses, out of 209 nationwide. That is the largest count of the 50 states with any, ahead of Florida on 11. They are 14 of the 58 businesses listed in Texas — 24% of the state directory.

Their ratings average 4.6, level with the 4.6 average across all 209 listed nationwide, and 12 of the 14 sit at 4.5 or better. None holds a straight 5.0, and 1 sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 3,181 reviews, the largest single tally being 914 on Appliance Rescue Service in Addison. 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 Appliance Rescue Service in Addison (914 reviews, 4.9), ABA Appliance Repair, Inc. in Austin (589 reviews, 4.2) and Tony Appliance Repair in Austin (429 reviews, 4.7). By rating it is Appliance Rescue Service at 4.9 on 914 reviews, GREENTEK at 4.9 on 209 reviews and Steve Slaton Appliance Repair at 4.9 on 151 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.

All 14 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 3 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation, 1 states a factory-authorised or factory-trained credential and 4 publish a parts-and-labor warranty term in the profiles. 1 of the 14 advertises 24/7 emergency callout, and 3 advertise same-day service. 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.

7 of the 14 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 1987, and the median across those that say is 15 years. Austin holds the most at 4 — 29% of the group — followed by San Antonio on 3, across 6 Texas cities with an index page. Between them they name 53 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 Texas 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→

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

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 Texas

National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $40–$80 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro Texas 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 Texas — common questions

How many microwave repair pros are listed in Texas?
14 businesses listed in Texas name microwave repair among the work they do — 24% of the 58 businesses this directory holds for the state, 1st of the 50 states with any, out of 209 listed nationwide — 7% of them. Austin accounts for 4 of them. The directory is a sample of the market, not a register of every company trading in Texas.
Which microwave repair companies are rated highest in Texas?
Appliance Rescue Service in Addison at 4.9 on 914 reviews, GREENTEK in Austin at 4.9 on 209 reviews, Steve Slaton Appliance Repair in Houston at 4.9 on 151 reviews — that is the order the list on this page uses. Ratings and review counts come from the businesses' own public profiles and are not verified here.
How much does microwave repair cost in Texas?
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 Texas 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 14 listed here before authorizing anything.
Which Texas city has the most microwave repair companies?
Austin, with 4 of the 14 — 29% of the group — followed by San Antonio on 3. 6 Texas cities in total have at least one.
Are microwave repair technicians licensed in Texas?
All 14 listed here state that they are licensed, and all 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 Texas?
1 of the 14 listed here advertises 24/7 emergency availability and carries a badge in the ranked list above. A further 3 advertise same-day service. 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 Texas repair pros service?
The microwave pros listed in Texas name 28 distinct brands between them. The most widely covered are GE (14), KitchenAid (14), Samsung (14), Whirlpool (14), Frigidaire (13), LG (13). 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 Texas microwave repair companies been in business?
7 of the 14 publish one. The longest-established has been trading since 1987, and the median across those that say is 15 years. 4 publish 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 Texas?
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: 3 of the 14 listed in Texas also offer commercial appliance repair and 3 offer cooktop repair, which can be worth bundling into the same visit.
