Introduction
Microwave door switches are inexpensive replacement parts compared to many other appliance components. If a microwave will not start due to a faulty switch, replacing the switch is often a very affordable repair.
Typical Cost of a Microwave Door Switch
Most microwave door switches cost between:
• $5 and $20 for common replacement parts
• Slightly more for brand-specific switches
Because the component is simple, replacement switches are widely available from appliance parts suppliers and online retailers.
Additional Repair Costs
If you replace the switch yourself, the only cost is the replacement part.
If the repair is performed by a technician, additional costs may include:
• Service call fee
• Labor for disassembly and installation
However, many homeowners choose to replace the switch themselves because the repair is usually straightforward.
