What do microwave repair and installation services include?

Hire our microwave specialists for expert installation and repair of your microwave ovens. They can go to your location at your preferred time and utilise their expertise to provide the exact service you need. We have plenty of Taskers who can install almost any make model, and also carry out diagnostics and repairs, so you won't have to spend more for an expensive replacement. Here are some specific services that you can book from us:

Microwave Installation

Microwave ovens are commonly fitted over the range, tucked into upper or lower shelves, or hidden in a cabinet. If you need expert assistance to ensure efficient installation, taskers are more than happy to drop by and lend a helping hand. The exact process depends on the type of microwave you have and where you want to mount it. But the basics include finding studs and marking them accordingly, drilling holes to open up space for cords and venting, fitting support brackets, and mounting the appliance in place.

In case you also need help setting up your gas stove or oven, as well as establishing a gas line, we also have qualified gas fitters who can do that for you.

Microwave oven repair

Just like any other appliance, microwaves can also encounter unexpected damages and glitches that could compromise their functionality. Our microwave technicians can help troubleshoot the issues and repair them as needed. Some of the most common hiccups include broken doors and turntables, arcing sparks inside the oven, and defective capacitors that prevent the food from heating up.

Microwave control panel repair

If you are struggling with a broken, non-responsive control panel, you can hire our microwave technicians to address the problem as soon as possible. Some of the most typical causes include worn out membrane switches, damaged control boards, water or moisture penetration, or insect attacks. 

This issue is resolved by simply removing and detaching the control panel from your appliance, accessing the membrane switch, and finally replacing them. You'll have your microwave back up and running in no time!

Microwave paint peeling repair

Years after use, you might start noticing the paint peeling from inside your microwave. All you have to do is find a skilled repairer who can help you clean and repaint it. Taskers can help you remove the peeling paint, clean off the grime or grease, and sand them down if needed. 

Once done, they can start repainting it using safe, non-toxic formulas suitable for microwaves. If you're unsure of what paint to use, you can always ask your Tasker for advice and suggestions. Also, remember to let the paint dry and cure at least a day or two before using your appliance again.

Replace National NE 6880 fan motor to MIcrowave

$80

Homebush NSW, Australia

30th Apr 2026

I have an old National brand Microwave NE6880. It has worked brilliantly for many years but the fan motor does not turn consistently. I thought it was the belt slipping but the fan motor has very little turning force left in it. It is a long shot but maybe someone has some spares or a substitute fan motor that will fit that model.

Remove old built-in microwave and install new one

$75

Newstead QLD, Australia

23rd Apr 2026

Looking for someone to remove an existing built-in microwave and install a new one in the same cavity. The current microwave is a 60cm built-in Bosch unit. The replacement will also be a 60cm built-in microwave (similar size). The existing unit has been installed quite tightly and the door has been rubbing against the cabinetry, so I’d like the new unit installed with proper clearance to ensure the door opens smoothly and isn’t under pressure. Job includes: * Safely removing existing microwave * Installing new microwave into cavity * Ensuring correct alignment and clearance (very important) * Securing unit properly It should be a standard plug-in (not hardwired) Parking available.

Secure microwave to bench in campervan

$80

Wollongong, New South Wales

21st Mar 2026

I need a microwave secured to the bench in my campervan so it stays in place while driving. It doesn’t need to be pretty, just safe, secure, and able to handle movement/vibration. It will need to be fixed to the bench top only (the wall is ply), so open to the best method to do this. The microwave is 9mm wider than the bench, so it would need to overhang slightly on the left. Bench between end and sink 448mm Microwave 457mm x344mm. It also needs to sit towards the back and not the front of the bench. Microwave is due to arrive either Tues 25/Wed 26 so it would need to be after then, and ideally before Saturday 28 if possible. Should be a quick job for someone handy. Happy to cover costs of materials/parts needed. I can bring the van to you if you’re within a reasonable distance to Wollongong.

Denny came up with an awesome solution, even better than what I had in mind. I’m very happy with the results, highly recommend!
