Should you repair or replace your microwave?
Microwave repair is most clearly worth it for over-the-range and built-in microwaves (which cost $400–$1,000+ to replace and require professional installation) and for any microwave under 7 years old with a non-magnetron repair. For countertop microwaves under $200 that need a magnetron, replacement often makes more sense. We always give you an honest comparison before recommending repair.
At Denver's Best Appliance Repair, we always give you an honest recommendation. We will tell you when replacement makes more financial sense than repair — and we'll never push a repair that isn't in your best interest.

It depends on the type and age. Over-the-range and built-in microwaves that cost $400–$1,000 to replace are almost always worth repairing.
