Bertazzoni microwaves
Four microwaves and three of them are different machines: two over-the-range units that double as the hood, a 30-inch built-in, and a microwave drawer that opens downward from under the counter. The drawer is the one worth knowing about — it is a different mechanism from anything else on this site, and it fails in ways a door-and-hinge microwave never does.

What goes wrong with it
Symptoms we are called out to on Bertazzoni microwaves
Each one covers the likely causes in the order they are worth checking, and what to do in five minutes before booking anything.
-
Runs, lights, turns — and cold Microwave not heating
The turntable turns, the light comes on, the timer counts down and the food is cold. Four microwaves in this line and three different machines behind that one symptom — and this is the one appliance on the site with no owner-side checks worth doing.
- Everything runs and nothing gets warm
- A drawer that will not open or will not start
- An over-the-range unit whose fan works and microwave does not
What we do on it
Repairs we carry out on Bertazzoni microwaves
Starting figures for this equipment in South Florida. The exact cost is confirmed after an on-site diagnostic — and this is not the whole list of what can go wrong, so call if your problem is not here.
-
from $95 Diagnostic visit
We work out what is actually wrong before anybody quotes a part. On this make that usually means measuring rather than reading, because most of these appliances report nothing at all when they stop. The fee is credited toward the work when you go ahead.
- Measured rather than guessed — resistance, current, temperature, airflow
- The free causes checked first, before any part is named
- Credited toward the repair
-
from $205 Speed oven repair
Five of these ovens are speed ovens: a microwave and a convection oven sharing one cavity, so the thing does in fifteen minutes what a conventional oven does in fifty. Two heating systems behind one door, and they fail independently — which makes the diagnosis unusually clean if you know which half has stopped.
- Microwave and convection tested as two separate appliances
- The door interlocks checked, because they stop both halves at once
- No microwave component opened without the capacitor discharged
-
from $195 Microwave & microwave drawer repair
Four microwaves and three different machines: two over-the-range units that double as the hood, a 30-inch built-in, and a drawer that opens downward from under the counter. The drawer is the one worth knowing about — it has a whole class of complaint no other microwave has, and it is usually the repairable half.
- The mechanism and the cooking side treated as separate repairs
- Interlocks checked first — they stop everything and cost little
- Nothing opened until the high-voltage capacitor is discharged
-
from $135 Appliance maintenance visit
A planned visit rather than an emergency one. On this make it earns its keep in three specific places: brass burners that want cleaning rather than replacing, hood filters and ducting nobody has looked at, and the scale that South Florida water puts into every dishwasher, steam oven and coffee machine in the house.
- Several appliances in one visit, which is where the saving is
- Burners, filters, condensers and scale — the four things that actually shorten a life
- A written note of what is starting to age, before it stops
-
from $175 Appliance installation & refit
Setting a machine back into cabinetry it was taken out of, hanging a custom panel on a column, or putting right an installation that was never quite right. On this make it matters more than most: a great deal of the line is built in, and induction in a sealed island is the commonest self-inflicted failure we see.
- Clearances and ventilation checked against what the appliance actually needs
- Custom panels hung square and aligned to the neighboring cabinetry
- Anti-tip, gas connections and leveling treated as the safety items they are
In more detail
About Bertazzoni microwaves
Four machines, three kinds
- Over the range — two. A microwave and a ventilation hood in one housing, and either half can fail without the other.
- Built-in — one, 30 inches. Fitted into cabinetry, often above a wall oven, and it comes out before it is repaired.
- The drawer — one, 24 inches. Opens downward from under the counter, on rails, with a motor and a set of interlocks. A different mechanism from anything else on this site.
The one safety point we will not soften
The high-voltage capacitor in a microwave holds a charge that can injure you long after the appliance has been unplugged. Whatever else is worth trying at home — and on this site there is plenty — a microwave that has stopped heating is not one of them.
What we are called out for
Runs but does not heat, which is the cooking side. A drawer that will not open or will not start, which is the mechanism and the interlocks. An over-the-range unit whose fan half has failed, which is a hood repair wearing a microwave's clothes. Turntables. And doors, latches and switches, which between them account for more "it does nothing" calls than the electronics do.
What to have ready when you call
The model number, whether it is over the range, built in or a drawer, and whether the failure is heating, the mechanism, or the ventilation.

Before you book
Questions about bertazzoni microwaves
It runs but does not heat. Is that worth fixing?
It is worth diagnosing, and the answer depends on the machine. A built-in or a drawer is a substantial appliance fitted into cabinetry, and a magnetron or a high-voltage component is an ordinary repair on one. Whether it is worth doing on a small over-the-range unit is a fair question and we will give you a straight answer rather than a quote. What is not worth doing is opening it yourself: the capacitor in a microwave holds a dangerous charge long after it is unplugged, and that is not a caution we are putting in for form.
What is different about a microwave drawer?
Everything mechanical. Instead of a door on hinges there is a drawer on rails with a motor to open and close it, a set of switches that have to agree the drawer is shut before anything runs, and a seal along a horizontal opening rather than a vertical one. So a drawer has a whole class of complaint no other microwave has: it will not open, it opens partway, it opens and will not start. Those are the mechanism and its switches, not the cooking side, and they are usually the more repairable half.
My over-the-range microwave works but the fan does not.
That is two appliances in one housing and only one of them has a problem. The ventilation side is a blower, a filter and a duct or a recirculating path, and it is repaired exactly like the hood it stands in for. Worth checking the grease filters first: on an over-the-range unit they sit directly in the cooking plume and they load up faster than any other filter in the kitchen.
The turntable has stopped turning.
Usually the simplest thing on the page. The roller ring may be out of its track, the coupler under the plate may have split, or the small motor beneath the floor of the cavity may have failed. All three are cheap, and the first two are things you can look at while the appliance is unplugged. What it is worth knowing is that food heating unevenly with a stationary turntable is a consequence rather than a second problem.
Is a built-in microwave harder to repair than a countertop one?
It takes longer, because it has to come out of its cabinet before anything can be reached, and it has to go back in square. The repair itself is the same. The reason to mention it is scheduling: a built-in microwave visit is not a fifteen-minute job even when the part is small, and it is better to know that when you book.
