Microwave & Combo Oven Repair in Colorado Springs

A combination wall oven is two appliances stacked in one opening — a microwave above, a full-size oven below — usually sharing one control panel and one cooling fan. We repair these combos, as well as speed ovens and convection microwaves, in homes across Colorado Springs, from Briargate and Flying Horse to the Broadmoor area, and in Monument and around Fort Carson.

Which half is broken?

• Both, and the panel is blank. The two halves normally share one control board and one thermal fuse, so they go dark together — often during or right after the oven’s self-clean.
• The oven bakes, the microwave doesn’t heat. The microwave has its own high-voltage parts and door switches; microwave repair explains how they fail.
• The microwave works, the oven stays cold. A heating element (the bake element is often concealed below the oven floor), the temperature sensor or the convection fan — more on oven repair.
• Convection or speed-cook stopped, plain microwave still fine. A speed oven or a convection microwave has an extra element and fan built into the microwave cavity, and either can quit on its own.

Heat is the enemy

The cooling fan runs while you cook and keeps going for a while afterwards. It’s what keeps the control board and the fuses alive next to an oven that can pass 800°F during self-clean. A fan that rattles or squeals is cheap to replace now; once it stops, the board and fuses overheat. If yours used to keep running after cooking and has gone quiet, have it checked.

Typical parts

On the microwave side: door switches, the magnetron, the high-voltage diode and capacitor, the turntable motor and coupler. On the oven side: elements, the temperature sensor and the convection fan. Shared: the cooling fan, fuses, the keypad and the control board. If fixing it doesn’t make sense for a unit that age, the technician will tell you before any parts are ordered.

Getting to the parts

These units are heavy and fitted tightly into the cabinets. Many repairs happen from the front; if yours has to come out, we’ll tell you in advance — it may take a second technician, and that charge is on our prices page.

We work on GE, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Bosch, Samsung, Electrolux, Frigidaire, Kenmore and other brands. For two full-size ovens, go to double oven repair.
