Common Failure Modes
Door switches often misalign or fail, preventing the unit from starting as a safety precaution. The magnetron (the component that generates microwaves) eventually burns out after years of use.

A microwave typically lasts 7 to 10 years with normal use. Over-the-range models tend to last longer than countertop units due to higher build quality. Signs of end-of-life include food heating unevenly despite correct settings, sparking during operation, a noisy or non-spinning turntable, and the door not latching securely.
