Microwave runs but doesn’t heat
The magnetron — the component that generates heat — has usually failed. Less commonly, a faulty diode or capacitor is the cause. الفايز صيانة tests each part individually and replaces only the one that’s failed.
When your microwave stops heating, sparks inside the cavity, or the door won’t latch, الفايز صيانة sends a trained technician to your home or business in Madinah — often the same day. We repair every major brand including Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sharp, and Bosch, and most jobs are finished in a single visit.

Microwave oven repair covers any fix that restores your appliance to safe working condition — from a magnetron that stopped heating to a door latch that won’t hold. In Madinah’s climate, microwaves work harder than usual, which speeds up wear on the cooling fan, high-voltage capacitor, and turntable motor.
At الفايز صيانة, our repair process starts with a full diagnostic. We test the magnetron, check the door interlock switches, inspect the control board, and verify the fuse — then explain the issue and quote a price before any work begins. No surprises on your bill.
Common reasons Madinah residents call us include uneven heating, sparking inside the cavity, a display that won’t respond, and loud humming during operation. Whether you need a quick door latch fix or a complete magnetron replacement, we carry the parts to handle it in one visit. If your appliance issues extend beyond the microwave, we also handle fridge repair, washing machine repair, and TV repair across Madinah.

Every microwave repair at الفايز صيانة follows a structured process. We diagnose first, quote second, and repair only after you approve.
We test the magnetron, high-voltage capacitor, diode, and control board with a multimeter to find the exact fault — no guesswork.
Faulty door switches and latches get replaced to prevent radiation leaks and restore normal operation. This is one of the most common fixes we perform.
When the magnetron has failed, we swap it with a part rated for your microwave model. We stock components for Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sharp, and Bosch.
A microwave that heats unevenly usually has a broken turntable motor. We replace it with the correct rotation specification for your unit.
Unresponsive buttons, a blank display, or a skipping timer usually point to a control board issue. We repair or replace the board as needed.
After the repair, we run a full heating cycle, check the door seal, and confirm no error codes remain. Your microwave is ready before the technician leaves.
Call +966506478273 or send a WhatsApp message describing the issue. We ask about the brand, model, and symptoms to prepare the right parts before we arrive.

Measures voltage, current, and resistance across the microwave’s circuits. This is how we find a blown fuse or dead capacitor without guessing.
Safely drains the high-voltage capacitor before any internal work begins. A charged microwave capacitor carries enough voltage to cause serious injury — this step is never skipped.
Opens the microwave casing and control panel without scratching the housing or cracking cosmetic parts.
We carry magnetrons, door switches, fuses, capacitors, turntable motors, and control boards for most major brands — so the repair finishes in one visit.
The microwave ran and made noise but food stayed cold — the magnetron had failed after five years of daily use.
We replaced the magnetron and tested three full heating cycles. Food heats evenly and the unit works like it did when new.
The door wouldn’t close properly, so the microwave wouldn’t start at all. The customer in Al Aziziyah thought the unit was dead.
A new door latch assembly and two new interlock switches got the microwave running again. The door seals tight and the safety switches pass every test.
Visible sparks and a burning smell every time the microwave ran. The waveguide cover was worn through and the cavity paint was damaged.
We replaced the waveguide cover, touched up the exposed metal, and ran a test cycle. No more sparking, and the microwave is safe to use.
Most microwave issues come down to a handful of recurring faults. Here are the problems our Madinah customers call about most often — and what causes each one.
Ask a pro →The magnetron — the component that generates heat — has usually failed. Less commonly, a faulty diode or capacitor is the cause. الفايز صيانة tests each part individually and replaces only the one that’s failed.
Metal objects left inside, a worn waveguide cover, or chipped cavity paint can cause sparking. We replace the cover and repair exposed metal to restore safe operation.
A broken door latch or misaligned interlock switch prevents the microwave from starting. We replace the latch assembly and verify the safety switches.
The turntable motor sits under the glass plate. When it fails, food heats unevenly. We replace the motor with the correct rotation spec for your model.
A faulty control board or membrane keypad causes unresponsive controls. We test the board, and if it can’t be repaired, we replace it with a compatible part.
A failing magnetron, worn fan motor, or loose transformer mount creates abnormal noise. We locate the source and repair or replace the part responsible.
150 SAR – 500 SAR depending on the fault and parts
Microwave oven repair in Madinah typically costs between 150 SAR and 500 SAR. The final price depends on the type of fault, the parts required, and whether your unit is a standard residential model or a heavier-duty commercial microwave. We provide a written quote after the diagnostic, and you approve the price before any work starts.
| Repair Type | Estimated Cost (SAR) |
|---|---|
| Door latch or switch replacement | 150 – 250 |
| Fuse and capacitor replacement | 150 – 300 |
| Turntable motor replacement | 200 – 350 |
| Control board repair or replacement | 250 – 450 |
| Magnetron replacement | 300 – 500 |
These prices include the diagnostic visit, parts, and labor. No hidden fees. If your microwave is a commercial unit used in a restaurant or hotel kitchen, ask us for a specific quote — commercial repairs sometimes involve heavier-duty parts.
A blown fuse is a quick, low-cost fix. A failed magnetron requires more parts and labor, which pushes the price higher.
Some brands use proprietary parts that cost more to source. We tell you the exact part cost in your quote — no vague estimates.
Same-day or after-hours service may include a call-out fee. We confirm this when you book, before the technician is dispatched.
