In most Santa Cruz kitchens the over-the-range microwave is also the range hood. Its fan pulls steam and grease every time someone cooks, and in damp coastal air that grease turns sticky and slows the fan motor.
Remodeled Westside and Pleasure Point kitchens often have a microwave drawer under the counter. Drawers add a motor, gears and a latch that can fail separately from the heating parts.

Is it worth repairing?
For a countertop microwave, rarely. For a mounted or built-in unit, often yes, because replacing it means new trim, mounting and sometimes cabinet work.
We test before quoting. If the magnetron and the board both failed, we will tell you replacement may make more sense.
