Wolf microwaves
Built in beside the ovens or set into an island as a drawer, which is where this brand put it long before most of its rivals. A drawer microwave is a mechanism as well as an oven — it opens and closes itself — and that is where most of what we are called out for lives.
- From $95 diagnostic, credited to the repair

What we do on it
Repairs we carry out on Wolf 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
Somebody who works on this equipment every week, in front of your appliance, telling you what is wrong and what it costs to put right. Credited against the repair if you go ahead.
- Codes read out of the control, not guessed at
- A written figure before any work starts
- Credited to the repair when you go ahead
-
from $365 Control board replacement
The board that switches the loads, the control head behind the fascia, or the network between them. On the current generation the code says which of the three, and that is worth a great deal.
- The code names the board before anything is ordered
- Damp and supply ruled out first — both look identical
- Configuration restored so it is your appliance afterwards
-
from $185 Microwave & drawer microwave repair
Built in beside the ovens or set into an island as a drawer. On a drawer model the commonest repair is the mechanism rather than anything to do with heating, and that is genuinely good news.
- Drawer drive and position switches tested first
- Door interlocks checked before anything else
- The high-voltage side is never an owner repair
-
from $155 Cooking equipment maintenance
A scheduled visit for equipment that is working. Burners and igniters, door seals, hood filters and damper, steam oven descaling, fans and vents — the things that are cheap now and expensive later.
- Descaling before a boiler needs replacing
- Seals and hinges set before a door drops
- Fans, vents and clearances actually checked
-
from $225 Appliance installation
Fitting professional cooking equipment into a finished kitchen. Most of what goes wrong with this equipment in its first year is decided on installation day, and most of it is clearance, gas and ventilation.
- Cutout, clearance and ventilation checked first
- Gas and orifices correct for the fuel supplied
- Levelled, anti-tip fitted, and handed over properly

About Wolf microwaves
A drawer is a mechanism as well as an oven
This brand builds the microwave as a drawer set into an island or a base run, as a standard built-in beside the wall ovens, and as a convection model that browns as well as heats. The drawer is the one with an extra way to fail: it has to open and close itself, and the drive and its switches are what we are called out for most.
What actually goes wrong
- The drawer will not travel. Drive or position switch. A mechanism problem on a cooking appliance.
- It runs cold. The magnetron or the high-voltage side, which is not a homeowner repair under any circumstances.
- Erratic controls. Often the supply shared with the oven under it rather than the microwave.
- A door that does not latch. The interlocks stop the machine dead, correctly, and the latch is the repair.
One warning worth reading
A microwave holds a charge in its high-voltage capacitor after it is unplugged, and it is enough to kill. Every other appliance on this site has something a careful owner can check first. This one does not: if it is not the door catch or the breaker, leave the panels on.

Questions about wolf microwaves
The drawer will not open.
That is the drive or the switch that tells the control the drawer is where it thinks it is — a mechanism rather than a heating problem, and it is the commonest call on this appliance. It is also the reason a drawer microwave is a different repair from a built-in one, even though both heat food the same way.
It runs, the plate turns, and nothing gets hot.
The magnetron or its high-voltage supply, and that is where a microwave stops being a do-it-yourself appliance for good. There is a capacitor inside that holds a lethal charge with the machine unplugged. Leave the panels on and call somebody.
It is in the same cabinet as the oven and both are behaving strangely.
Then the first suspect is the supply they share rather than either appliance. Say that when you call — two appliances misbehaving together is a different diagnosis from either one alone, and it saves a wasted visit.
