How we repair your Commercial Microwave
A commercial microwave is a heavy-duty high-wattage microwave, often with dual magnetrons, built for frequent use in restaurants and food service. Every commercial microwave uses a high-voltage circuit with a transformer, capacitor, diode and magnetron, plus door interlock switches that cut power when the door opens. A technician safely discharges the high-voltage circuit, then tests switches, fuses and high-voltage parts.
Commercial microwaves run constantly in busy kitchens, so a quick diagnosis keeps service moving during rush periods.
