Common Microwave Issues and Quick Fixes
1. Turntable Not Spinning
Replace the worn motor coupler to restore rotation and get even heating again. A fresh coupler connects the motor to your turntable properly, stopping those cold spots that ruin your reheated meals.
2. Microwave Light Not Working
Replace the burnt-out lamp to see your food clearly while it cooks. Many common microwave appliance spare parts, like lamps, are easy to swap, saving time on every meal.
3. Sparking Inside the Microwave
Replace the damaged wave guide cover to eliminate dangerous sparks and protect your magnetron. A new cover shields the magnetron from food splatter, preventing expensive internal damage that could kill your entire microwave.
4. Microwave Runs But Doesn't Heat
Replace the failed magnetron or high voltage diode to restore full heating power. These parts wear out from constant use, but swapping them brings back the cooking performance you need without buying a whole new unit.
5. Uneven Heating or Cold Spots
Replace the cracked turntable or worn microwave roller ring to get proper rotation back. When the tray doesn't spin smoothly, some areas overcook while others stay cold, wasting your time with constant stirring and reheating.
Don't Replace Your Microwave. Fix It for Less
That broken turntable or burnt-out lamp doesn't mean your microwave is done. It means you need a simple part that costs a fraction of buying new, saving you hundreds while keeping a perfectly good appliance out of the landfill.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which turntable fits my microwave?
Grab a tape measure and check your current plate's diameter. Match that number to our listings, or just email your model number over to steve@appliancespares.nz if you want us to double-check before you buy.
Can I replace a microwave magnetron myself?
Don't even think about it. Those things hold deadly voltage even when unplugged, and one wrong move puts you in the hospital. Leave magnetrons to the pros with proper gear.
How long does a microwave typically last?
Standard models give you 7 to 10 solid years. Premium ones? They'll push past 12 if you swap out worn turntables and lamps when they fail instead of letting small problems snowball into big ones.
What causes sparking inside my microwave?
Nine times out of ten, it's a ripped wave guide cover. Once that cover tears, food gunk hits the magnetron and causes sparks that can wreck the whole unit if you ignore them.
Do you stock parts for discontinued microwave models?
We do. Fire off your model number to steve@appliancespares.nz and we'll dig through inventory to see what we've got that fits your older machine.
